This model predicts the geo-location of an image, based on its contents (e.g., architecture or key landmark). This capability can be used for a variety of tasks including geo-positioning, geo-tagging, and geo-coding. Predicting the geographical location of photos without any prior knowledge is a challenging task, simply because of the infinite possible locations, variations, and conditions images could be captured. Additionally, these images are often ambiguous and provide very few visual clues about their respective recording location.

59.9% Top 1 Accuracy
79.4% Top 5 Accuracy
This model was trained and validated on a dataset created using the Flickr APIs. On the validation subset, the model achieves a top 1 accuracy score of 0.5931 and a top 5 accuracy score of 0.7944. The model tends to perform better on images that contain cues for geo-location, including key landmarks, building architecture, streets, landscape, monuments, statues, or bridges.
Top 1 Accuracy: The ratio of the number of correct predictions of the top 1 predicted class to the total number of input samples.
Top 5 Accuracy: The fraction of the top 5 predictions made by the classifier.
This model treats the geo-location task as an image classification problem, where the challenge lies in localizing photos from a diverse set of cities or regions around the world. The Xception architecture is used to determine geo-location classifications of images.
This model was trained on a dataset created using the Flickr APIs by querying photos based on geo-location data and photo tags. The dataset consists of roughly 10,000 images per class for a total of 45 classes. The 45 classes (cities and regions) were chosen based on popularity, size, geographic distribution, and the amount of available geo-tagged photos on Flickr. The model was trained on roughly 80% of the full dataset.
The model was validated on 20% of the dataset compiled using the Flickr APIs. The model achieves a top 1 accuracy score of 0.5931 and a top 5 accuracy score of 0.7944.
