Abstract
A computer implemented method and system for identifying locations in photographs using topographic techniques is disclosed. The method comprises receiving an image; in response to receiving the image, generating a depth map of the image; removing non-geographic features from the depth map; generating a topographic map based on the depth map; modifying the topographic map to represent each pixel by height differential; and comparing the modified topographic map to a modified global topographic map to determine a location of the image.
