Abstract
Implementations relate to providing geographic locations related to user interests. In some implementations, a method includes receiving an indication of a user location and determining one or more subjects of interest to the user based on examining a collection of images associated with the user. The subjects of interest are determined by determining distinctive image characteristics that have a higher frequency in the collection of user images compared to a frequency of similar stored image characteristics of a population of images associated with multiple users. Site characteristics of a geographic area are obtained based on images captured in the geographic area. The site characteristics are compared to the subjects of interest and one or more geographic locations in the geographic area are determined that have site characteristics similar to the subjects of interest. The geographic locations are provided to be output by the user device.
