City administrations increasingly rely on comprehensive databases and digital twins of city assets, such as traffic signs and trees, as well as incidents such as graffiti or road damage, to maintain an effective overview of urban conditions. Digitization has increased the demand for continuously updated spatial datasets, yet current data acquisition and maintenance processes still involve considerable manual effort, posing significant scalability challenges. This paper introduces MapAnything, a systematic evaluation pipeline that automates the spatial mapping of urban objects and incidents from a single monocular image. By leveraging advanced Metric Depth Estimation models, MapAnything accurately calculates object geocoordinates, converting 2D image data into valuable 3D spatial information. The methodology integrates the estimated camera-to-object distance with geometric principles and known camera specifications. We present a detailed validation of the framework, comparing its distance-estimation accuracy against high-precision LiDAR point clouds in complex urban environments. Our evaluation provides a granular analysis of spatial performance across various distance intervals and semantic areas, such as roads and vegetation. Finally, we demonstrate the framework’s practical efficacy through specific use cases, including mapping traffic signs and road pavement damage, and provide recommendations for its integration into automated urban inventory systems.
