- receiving a first image captured by a camera-equipped device, the first image depicting a subject from a geolocation;
by reference to said geolocation, identifying plural textual descriptors related to the first image;
processing said textual descriptors in discerning whether the first image depicts a subject that is likely of a first class or a second class, said processing being performed by one or more hardware processors configured to perform such act; and
taking an action dependent on whether the first image depicts a subject that is likely of the first class or the second class.

Abstract
Cell phones and other portable devices are equipped with a variety of technologies by which existing functionality can be improved, and new functionality can be provided. Some relate to visual search capabilities, and determining appropriate actions responsive to different image inputs. Others relate to processing of image data. Still others concern metadata generation, processing, and representation. Yet others relate to coping with fixed focus limitations of cell phone cameras, e.g., in reading digital watermark data. Still others concern user interface improvements. A great number of other features and arrangements are also detailed.
