1. A method for geotagging an image, comprising:
- receiving an image of a real-world scene;
receiving location information corresponding to the image, the location information identifying a location of the real-world scene;
synchronizing the image with the location information corresponding to the image such that a two-dimensional point on the image corresponds to a three-dimensional location in the real world at the real-world scene;
receiving a geotag, the geotag tagging the image at the two-dimensional point, the geotag providing additional information concerning the real-world scene, wherein the receiving a geotag comprises;
providing a clear visual element to a user, the clear visual element operable to overlay the image and receive instructions from the user to place a geotag at a point on the clear visual element; and
synchronizing the clear visual element with the image such that the point on the clear visual element corresponds to the two-dimensional point on the image; and
storing the geotag and the three-dimensional location in the real world at the real-world scene in a geotag database.

Abstract
In accordance with a particular embodiment of the invention, a method for geotagging an image includes receiving an image of a real-world scene. Location information may be received corresponding to the image. The location information may identify the location of the real-world scene. The image may be synchronized with the location information corresponding to the image such that a two-dimensional point on the image corresponds to a three-dimensional location in the real world at the real-world scene. A geotag may be received. The geotag may tag the image at the image at the two-dimensional point and provide additional information concerning the real-world scene. The geotag and the three-dimensional location in the real world at the real-world scene may be stored in a geotag database.
