Claim 9:
10. A system, comprising:
memory storing a plurality of images in association with location information; and
one or more processor in communication with the memory, the one or more processors programmed to:
identify, from the plurality of images, a set of images that relate to a geographical region of interest;
determine, using image recognition, which of the images include an object of interest;
determine, using image recognition, which of the images do not include the object of interest;
for at least one candidate location in the geographical region of interest, calculate a likelihood value of the object of interest existing at the candidate location using the location information for images in the set of images determined to include the object of interest and using the location information for images in the set of images determined not to include the object of interest; and
determining, based on the likelihood values, whether the object of interest exists at the at least one candidate location.
