Abstract:
In one embodiment, an uploaded multimedia object comprising a photo image or video is subjected to computer vision algorithms to detect and isolate objects within the multimedia object, and the isolated object is searched against a photographic location database containing images of a plurality of locations. Upon detecting a matching object, the location information associated with the photograph in the database containing the matching object may be leveraged to improve the location determination of the client device uploading the multimedia object.
