May 9, 2008 (IDG News Service) Google has begun scanning the streets
of Paris to gather data for its Street View service, which adds street-
level photography to the satellite views offered by Google Maps. The
search company will gather a wealth of data from the project but,
thanks to France's strict privacy laws, it may also pick up a few
lawsuits on the way if it chooses to publish the photos unedited.
Two Google employees were spotted on the Western outskirts of Paris on
Friday as they mounted a sophisticated array of cameras and laser
scanners on the roof rack of their black Opel Astra. The equipment was
connected to a Dell computer visible inside the car. Although the
vehicle was unmarked, the driver and passenger said they worked for
Google.
Similar vehicles, some of them bearing the Google Street View logo,
have been spotted in other European cities in recent weeks, indicating
that Google is gathering data on a massive scale in preparation for
the launch of the service in Europe.
But as the company offers global access to its most popular services,
it will also have to think about local legislation and culture.
The sun is out in Paris and the streets in front of the capital's
cafes are already packed with Parisians, so Google's cars are bound to
catch a few of them on camera. Yet in France, citizens have a droit a
l'image, the right to their own image. Pictures identifying them as
they go about their private business may not be published without
their permission. That could put the brakes on Google's deployment of
Street View in France, unless the camera cars are accompanied by an
army of clipboard-wielding legal assistants asking bystanders to sign
release forms as they sip their coffee.
So far, Google plans to hold back in Europe, launching the service
only when it has worked out how to do so while respecting local laws,
a company official recently told IDG News Service. Among the technical
solutions it is considering are blurring faces in images, which would
require an enormous amount of image processing, or only publi****ng
unidentifiable low-resolution images, which would severely limit the
interest and usefulness of the service.
In the U.S., Google's use of Street View imagery has already brought
it a few lawsuits since its launch a year ago. Its approach there has
been to withdraw images where someone objects to their publication --
just as it has withdrawn books scanned for its Book Search where
publishers have accused the company of nonchalantly and systematically
breaching their copyright. Such action after the fact sits ill with
the French legal system, however, where the company will be expected
to respect the law even before someone objects.

The differences between the U.S. and Europe are not just legal and
cultural: They can also be architectural. The North American cities
where Google began its Street View service are typically composed of
wide streets laid out in an easily mapped grid pattern, but streets in
the densely packed centers of Europe's historic capitals can be much
more tortuous. Rue Maurice Utrillo, just by the famous church of Sacre
Coeur in the north of Paris, will pose a particular challenge for
Google's Street View team: From the church, the street descends
abruptly in an 87-yard-long flight of steps.

scanners on the roof rack of their black Opel Astra. The equipment was
connected to a <a title=3D"Dell Inc." href=3D"/action/inform.do?
command=3Dsearch&searchTerms=3DDell+Inc." >Dell</a> computer visible
inside the car. Although the vehicle was unmarked, the driver and
passenger said they worked for Google. </p><p> Similar vehicles, some
of them bearing the Google Street View logo, have been spotted in
other European cities in recent weeks, indicating that Google is
gathering data on a massive scale in preparation for the launch of the
service in Europe. </p><p> But as the company offers global access to
its most popular services, it will also have to think about local
legislation and culture. </p><p> The sun is out in Paris and the
streets in front of the capital's cafes are already packed with
Parisians, so Google's cars are bound to catch a few of them on
camera. Yet in France, citizens have a <i>droit a l'image</i>, the
right to their own image. Pictures identifying them as they go about
their private business may not be published without their permission.
That could put the brakes on Google's deployment of Street View in
France, unless the camera cars are accompanied by an army of clipboard-
wielding legal assistants asking bystanders to sign release forms as
they sip their coffee. </p><p> So far, Google plans to hold back in
Europe, launching the service only when it has worked out how to do so
while respecting local laws, a company official recently told <a
title=3D"International Data Group Inc." href=3D"/action/inform.do?
command=3Dsearch&searchTerms=3DInternational+Data+Group+Inc." >IDG News
Service</a>. Among the technical solutions it is considering are
blurring faces in images, which would require an enormous amount of
image processing, or only publi****ng unidentifiable low-resolution
images, which would severely limit the interest and usefulness of the
service. </p><p> In the U.S., Google's use of Street View imagery has
already brought it a few lawsuits since its launch a year ago. Its
approach there has been to withdraw images where someone objects to
their publication -- just as it has withdrawn books scanned for its
Book Search where publishers have accused the company of nonchalantly
and systematically breaching their copyright. Such action after the
fact sits ill with the French legal system, however, where the company
will be expected to respect the law even before someone objects. </

April 24, 2008</a></h5> <p>In today's podcast: Google Street View cars
spotted in Italy.<a href=3D"http://sharkbait.computerworld.com/?q=3Dnode/
111"> <i> [hear more]</i></a></p> </div> </div><p> The differences
between the U.S. and Europe are not just legal and cultural: They can
also be architectural. The North American cities where Google began
its Street View service are typically composed of wide streets laid
out in an easily mapped grid pattern, but streets in the densely
packed centers of Europe's historic capitals can be much more
tortuous. Rue Maurice Utrillo, just by the famous church of Sacre
Coeur in the north of Paris, will pose a particular challenge for
Google's Street View team: From the church, the street descends
abruptly in an 87-yard-long flight of steps.</p>
