Mapping Camera Coming To A Street Near You, Salem

Over the next two weeks, Dutch mobile mapping company Cyclomedia will be driving the city’s streets, capturing detailed data on road conditions and features. The company will capture 360-degree images of roads and use LiDar, or light detection and ranging, a pulsing laser technology that can measure variable distances, according to a city news release Tuesday. Work will begin downtown. “Cyclomedia vehicles are marked with their company logo and will not be accessing any private streets or property. Any license plates or public faces caught on the camera will be blurred to protect your privacy,” the city said in the release.
