Claim:
A system for determining a driving route that includes a first track or alternatively a second track, comprising: a first object detector module configured to detect objects of a first type in photographic images associated with the first and second tracks, the first object detector module configured to determine a first number of times objects of the first type appear in photographic images geocoded along the first track, and to determine a second number of times objects of the first type appear in photographic images geocoded along the second track; a priority score module configured to generate a first priority score associated with the first track based at least on the first number, the priority score module further configured to generate a second priority score associated with the second track based at least on the second number; and a driving direction module configured to select a driving route that includes the first track when the first priority score is greater than the second priority score, and to select a driving route that includes the second track when the second priority score is greater than the first priority score, wherein when the first number is greater than the second number, the first priority score is greater than the second priority score.
