Good news for Indian tech companies who use Google Maps APIs. Google announces "India specific pricing" for Maps APIs, with up to 70% lower prices on most APIs. In my 5 years at Swiggy, I never saw Google Maps drop their prices. Maps API billing moved in only one direction - up. It's great to see competition drive prices lower for consumers. Kudos to @MapmyIndia and @Krutrim for shaking up this monopoly. When companies compete, consumers benefit. inc42.com/buzz/amid-comp…

The proposed training procedure results in large improvements in localization error, detection metrics, and tracking capabilities. Code available here: github.com/sharathadavann…

We further formulate the popular tracking-based metrics of CLEAR-MOT as a differential objective function and optimise the multi source localizer directly on it.
