https://geospy.ai/ https://geospy.ai/ is disturbingly accurate. They sell an API that even returns a street address.
GPT-4o is also terrifyingly good if prompted to think investigatively. I've uploaded a photo of a friend's generic backyard with no text, signs, people, sky, or anything obvious, and it nailed their specific neighborhood. I've even sent it nothing more than a photo of my bathroom (with product labels blacked out) and it still identified sufficient clues to guess a locality within 200 miles of my actual location.
A regular Sherlock Holmes with superhuman levels of world knowledge.
- spotplay 2y agoDid you remove the metadata before sending it? The bathroom story is far too impressive if you did, and could help identify kidnapping victims' locations
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoYes. I even resized and reencoded after running the images through an EXIF stripper and verifying there was only pixel data left. Ubiquitous world knowledge is a powerful police tool.
- lnrd 2y agoDid you ask what clues it used to determine the location? Would be interesting to know
- saaaaaam 2y agoJust ran a few things through geospy. Including one of the inside of a plant room with some very generic aircon units. It got the right city based on the brick work.
- MIC132 2y agoInterestingly, my experience with it has been the opposite. While it's quite good at understanding what's in the picture it only has gotten my country right a few times and even then it just gives the capital, which I'm quite far away from.
