Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide for a method for updating business information. A business at a business location and a reference image for the business at the business location may be selected for an update. From a number of more recent images, a comparison image may be selected based on a likelihood that the comparison image captures the business location. Text and visual features reference image may be compared with text and visual features of the comparison image to determine a text similarity score and a features similarity score. A confidence level indicating whether the business in the reference image is in the comparison image may then be determined using the text similarity score and the feature similarity score. According to the confidence level, the business information of the business may be updated.
