Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: accessing, by a processing device, an image database containing digital images and location data corresponding to each of the digital images; determining, by the processing device, a cluster of the digital images based on location data; determining, by the processing device, whether a quantity of digital images in the cluster of the digital images satisfies a threshold quantity of digital images; responsive to the quantity of digital images in the cluster of the digital images satisfying the threshold quantity of digital images, determining, by the processing device, a hotspot location for representing the cluster of the digital images; and storing, by the processing device, information identifying the hotspot location and its represented cluster of digital images, wherein the determining whether the quantity of digital images in the cluster of the digital images satisfies the threshold quantity of digital images further comprises: calculating a density of images within a local area; calculating a density of images within a regional area that is larger than the local area; and comparing the density of images within the local area to the density of images within the regional area,
