For some days now, the quality of the BING imagery degraded. It seems as if someone applied some hardcore sharpening filter, or as I put it: a cheap artistic filter in Photoshop.
When zooming in to the highest resolution available, the new effects becomes more than obvious. In particular in rural zones with a high level of vegetation and in particular forest.
Was this a mistake? Is this imagery, which is worse than before, staying for some time with us?
This phenomenon appears globally, sometimes more accentuated, sometimes less. But it is generalized.
Compared to Google, Mapbox or Esri, BING's imagery just lost a lot of points.
Looking forward to receiving some feedback about this recent change.
Cheers
