Applied Streetview

What Applied Streetview does

Applied Streetview, legally Streetview Technology GmbH and headquartered in Langen, Germany, sells an integrated mobile-mapping system that combines proprietary 360-degree cameras, mounting hardware, and a multi-module Windows software suite for capturing, processing, geo-referencing, and publishing street-level imagery. The hardware stack includes rainproof 360 cameras with GNSS positioning (with optional RTK and wheel sensor for high accuracy), magnetic, elevated and backpack mounts for cars, boats, locomotives, and pedestrians, a WiFi controller app on a Huawei MediaPad M6 tablet, and a Mobile UPS for in-vehicle power. The software stack is anchored by Creator 8 (core processing and panorama publishing, 2023 release), with add-on modules including Privacy Keeper (computer-vision face/license plate blurring), Facades (automatic facade photo extraction for GIS), Photogram (collaborative client/server measurement), Map Downloader (40+ tile providers), and G-Publisher (direct upload to Google Maps). A cloud layer (Cloud Player and Online Recording Manager) provides one-click AWS publishing, auto-scaling hosting, and real-time remote camera control — described by the company as the only solution showing all camera positions on a map in real time.

The business is privately held, founder-led by CEO Jan Martin Mantkowski since 2010, with 11-50 employees and no disclosed institutional investors or funding. Revenue is generated across six streams: hardware sales (cameras, mounts, controllers, UPS), one-time perpetual software licenses (€2,600 for Creator 8, €4,900 for Facades, €3,700 for Privacy Keeper, €2,500 for Photogram), annual software subscriptions (€500/year for Creator 8 with bundled support for all programs), monthly SaaS (€300/month for Online Recording Manager), cloud/managed hosting (Cloud Player), and professional services (consulting, proof of concept, integration, 3- and 5-day training). Distribution is direct via the company website and a global sales team serving 30+ countries on 6 continents.

The customer base is diversified across government (California Department of Water Resources, City of Edmonton, City of Elgin, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority, Terralogiq) and enterprise engineering and infrastructure customers (COWI, Sweco, Mead & Hunt, Xcel Energy, MapmyIndia, Triona), with additional education/research users (University of Washington NHERI RAPID). The company supports deep GIS interoperability — SHP, GDB, TAB, KML, GeoJSON, GML formats — and integrations with Google Maps, Mapbox, OpenStreetMap, AWS, QGIS, ArcGIS, and the krpano panorama viewer, positioning itself as a turn-key alternative to relying on Google Street View for organizations that need proprietary, controlled street-level imagery.

Direct peers

• Mapillary: Street-level imagery platform acquired by Meta that lets users upload, process and view 360 mapping content. Directly competes with Applied Streetview's capture-to-publish pipeline and is explicitly cited as inspiration for Applied Streetview's Cloud Player interface.
• Cyclomedia: Dutch provider of systematic street-level imagery and LiDAR data for governments, utilities and engineering firms across Europe and North America. Closest direct peer in target customer (government and infrastructure) and core deliverable (cycled panoramic imagery).
• Vexcel Imaging: Provides aerial and street-level imagery programs (e.g., UltraCam and street-view pipelines) for government, insurance and mapping customers. Comparable as a vertically integrated imagery capture and processing vendor serving GIS-heavy buyers.

Others

• Mapbox: Mapping and location platform integrated into Applied Streetview's Creator 8 software. Not a direct street-view competitor but a key enabling platform; Mapbox's own expansion into visualization and AR could bring it closer to Applied Streetview's use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Trimble: Global provider of surveying, mapping and geospatial hardware/software (GNSS, total stations, GIS). Broad incumbent whose end customers overlap with Applied Streetview's engineering and surveying buyer base and who could extend into mobile street-view capture.
• HERE Technologies: Location platform offering map data, street-level imagery and enterprise geospatial services. Comparable as a broad mapping incumbent that competes for enterprise street-imagery budgets and could absorb Applied Streetview's niche use cases.
• Esri: Dominant GIS platform (ArcGIS) used by most of Applied Streetview's reference customers. While not a direct street-view competitor, Esri's distribution power and Mosaic 360 integration make it the natural platform incumbent Applied Streetview integrates with and against.

Emerging players

• KartaView: Community-driven street-level imagery project (formerly OpenStreetCam) used to enrich OpenStreetMap. Partial overlap with Applied Streetview's capture-and-publish model but operating as an open, crowdsourced alternative.
• GeoCV: 3D mobile-mapping and indoor scanning platform for real estate and facilities. Adjacent to Applied Streetview's mobile-mapping use cases but focused on interior 3D capture rather than outdoor street-level imagery.
• Mosaic (by Esri): 360-degree mobile-mapping camera and processing platform, now part of Esri. Directly competes with Applied Streetview's camera-plus-software bundle for surveying and infrastructure documentation customers.
