CLASSIFYING IMAGE REGIONS BASED ON PICTURE LOCATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of classifying regions in a digital image or video captured by an image capture device comprising:
- a) providing a geographic location determining device associated with the image capture device;
b) using the location determining device to measure the image capture location at substantially the time that the digital image or video was captured; and
c) classifying regions in the captured digital image or video into one or more classes based on the image capture location.
