Multimodal Location Estimation

Location estimation is the task of estimating the geo-coordinates of the content recorded in digital media The Berkeley Multimodal Location Estimation project aims to leverage the GPS-tagged media available on the web as training set for an automatic location estimator. The idea is that visual and acoustic cues can narrow down the possible recording location for a given image, video, or audio track. We also investigate the human baseline of location estimation, i.e. how well does a human do in comparison to a computer?

This is a collaboration with the computer vision group at ICSI as well as with the UC Berkeley BASiCS group (Berkeley Audio Visual Signal Processing and Communication Systems).
