TaggPic geo-recognition technology analyzes photos based solely on visual features to recognize landmarks in digital photos, and the precise locations where the photos were captured.

The Problem:
Hundreds of millions of digital photos from around the world are uploaded to the Web every day. This explosion of pixel data is creating the need for fast, hyper-accurate, and automatic tagging of massive collections of images.

The Solution:
TaggPic technology is based solely on visual features, and does not require any metadata, such as GPS tags, manual tagging, or other location sensors, although it is capable of working with inputs from all three. The underlying algorithms can determine the precise position of the camera viewpoint in a geo-referenced coordinate system, even if no prior data about the photo’s location is known.

TaggPic transforms static 2D photos into auto-tagged, geo-positioned, and intelligently connected platforms. TaggPic’s crowd-fueled computer vision technology instantly recognizes landmarks, buildings, and other objects in images without the need for GPS data or manual tagging.
