Landmark identification using metadata
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of associating a point of interest with a captured image, the method comprising:
- accessing metadata associated with a digital image, the metadata identifying an image capture location;
determining a depth of field corresponding to the digital image;
identifying a plurality of points of interest located within the determined depth of field;
selecting one of the plurality of identified points of interest as an image subject based, at least in part, on a proximity of each of the plurality of identified points of interest to the image capture location; and
editing the metadata associated with the digital image to include data identifying the selected point of interest.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus are presented for associating a point of interest with a captured image. In one aspect, metadata associated with a digital image can be accessed, the metadata identifying an image capture location. Further, a depth of field corresponding to the digital image can be determined and one or more points of interest can be identified that are located within the determined depth of field. Additionally, one of the one or more identified points of interest can be selected as an image subject and the metadata associated with the digital image can be edited to include data identifying the selected point of interest.
