Model suggests invalid smoothness=100 tag on non-road (person) photo

[brazilsinghrittik]

Hi team,

Thanks for the great work on OSM Tagger,
It’s an exciting project! While testing the tool, I noticed a concerning behavior:

🐞 Issue:
When uploading a photo of a person (not a road or street-level image), the model still returns a suggested tag:

smoothness=100

...along with a link to the OSM Wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:smoothness

🚫 Problems:
The image does not contain a road or any mappable infrastructure.

This could lead to erroneous or misleading data if users rely on these predictions.

✅ Expected behavior:

The model should return an error or warning like:
“No valid road or mappable feature detected.”

All tag values should be validated against the standard OSM tagging schema before being shown to users.

Thanks again for all the work on this, looking forward to improvements!

Best regards,
Brazil Singh

It is detecting a fake road as a real Road

Hi @brazilsinghrittik!

For the first issue see (wrong tags) #41

For the second issue (images that are not real road pictures) the tool is not intended to be used by the general user or mappers, but by a system that can process people-generated geo-located street-level imagery and guess which tags corresponds to each image, then the results would be used in different ways, one of these ways could be to human-validate the results and then update OSM.

This is an experimental tool and is not recommended to be used in real use cases yet, we'll have to test it and improve it, in addition to having community validation to be sure we can add even a single update to OSM.

Thank you for testing, your feedback is very much appreciated!
