Patent Images

1. A computer-implemented method for correcting existing geographic coordinates associated an image, comprising:

  • providing the image to a client device, the image associated with a first geographic coordinate;

    receiving, from the client device, a second geographic coordinate representing a location of the client device and an indication that the image resembles surroundings of the client device at the second geographic coordinate, the second geographic coordinate being different from the first second geographic coordinate;

    determining whether the received second geographic coordinate more accurately represents a location of a camera that took the image than the first geographic coordinate; and

    when the received second coordinate is determined to be more accurate than the first coordinate, updating the first geographic coordinate associated with the image according to the received second geographic coordinate.
