Abstract
A method and apparatus for determining a location of an object depicted in an image are disclosed. The location of an object depicted in an image is determined based on one or more of a camera location at a time the image was captured, object distance data, and camera orientation. Object distance data can include distance to subject data or focal length data. Camera orientation information can include azimuth and elevation angle which can be used to determine a direction from camera an object is located and an elevation of an object with respect to the camera. In one embodiment, image and object data are stored in a database which can be accessed by users to search for images and objects.
