Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of providing georeferenced information regarding a location of capture of an image, said method comprising: receiving a first image at an image-based georeferencing system, said first image captured by a camera and comprising a terrestrial image of a physical object and comprising digital image information and an identifiable feature; identifying a cataloged second image that correlates to said first image by determining, by said image-based georeferencing system, a common reference feature that is common to both said first image and said cataloged second image from an image database, wherein said common reference feature comprises said identifiable feature; automatically determining a georeferenced position fix for said common reference feature, and wherein said common reference feature is not georeferenced in said second image identified from said image database; utilizing said georeferenced position fix to determine a georeferenced location of capture of said first image; locating, by said feature locator, additional features in a field of view of said first image based on said georeferenced position fix for said common reference feature; and providing said georeferenced location of capture for access by a user of said image-based georeferencing system.
