I think it's the same tech they use to make the "3d" background photos on the iPhone wallpaper, which is probably also the same tech used for inferring depth when converting a normal photo to a spatial photo for viewing on an AVP.
Look around uses a real 3D capture with lidar. If you move around in Mapillary it does do something similar to that using SfM.
