First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- an analysis component configured to analyze geographically-tagged data associated with an entity of interest and to discover relationships between location-based entities and the entity of interest, the entity of interest is an object or an abstract concept;
a view generation component configured to generate vantage-point information from which to view the entity of interest based on the discovered relationships; and
at least one microprocessor that executes computer-executable instructions in a memory associated with the analysis component and the view generation component.

Abstract
Architecture that obtains and utilizes collections of geographically-tagged data to discover optimal vantage points for viewsheds of entities of interest such as physical entities and conceptual entities such as landmarks, sunset, skyline, etc. The disclosed architecture discloses the utilization of at least geo-tagged image data to discover relationships between a combination of concrete entities and/or abstract concepts, and techniques for surfacing such relationships to users. The data can be crowd-sourced geo-tagged image data that are mined from social content and which can be observed or experienced from a certain location/area.
