Geolocate from pixels

Every photograph taken outdoors contains enough information to place it. The constraint is never the image; it is your patience and your reference knowledge.

The beginner mistake is searching before inventorying. People see a mountain, type "mountain with two peaks" into a search box, and get nothing. The method is the opposite: extract every clue first, rank them by how much of the planet each one eliminates, and only then start searching — because the clue that pins the country is usually not the one your eye went to.

Rank your clues before you search

Work down this list. Each row eliminates far more of the world than the one below it, so a single row-one clue is worth twenty row-six clues.

Tier	Clue	What it buys you
1	Readable proper nouns — business names, street names, municipal logos, school names	Often an instant pin. A business name plus a country is a map query, not an investigation.
1	Phone numbers on signage and vehicles	Country and frequently city, from prefix and digit-grouping convention.
1	Language and script, then orthography	Script narrows to a family; specific diacritics, letter forms and spelling conventions narrow to one country and sometimes one region.
2	Licence plate format — shape, colour, band, character layout	Country, often issuing region. Visible from a long way off, survives compression.
2	Driving side	Splits the world roughly a third to two thirds. Read it from parked-car steering wheels, not just from traffic.
2	Road markings — centre-line colour, dash rhythm, edge lines	Yellow versus white centre lines alone cuts most of the world.
3	Utility pole construction and insulator style	Regionally conservative and rarely changed. One of the most reliable tells in the frame.
3	Bollards, guardrails, kerb painting, chevron markers	Nationally standardised, nationally distinctive.
3	Traffic signal mounting, lens arrangement, backboards	Overhead versus pole-side, horizontal versus vertical, extra lenses — all national conventions.
4	Signage typeface and road-sign standard	Which sign standard a country adopted, and its specific alphabet.
4	Satellite dish elevation and azimuth	Constrains latitude, and the orbital slot indicates which service region.
5	Architecture, roofing material, window and balcony conventions, rooftop tanks and heaters	Region and climate band.
5	Vegetation and biome	Latitude band, climate, hemisphere. Careful: ornamental planting is global.
6	Terrain and horizon profile	Only useful once you have a candidate region — then it is decisive.

Every variation and what it implies: reference/regional-indicators.md.

Method

Inventory. Write a numbered list of every clue in the frame before you search anything. Include the negatives — no snow, no palms, no overhead wires — because negatives eliminate regions just as well. Zoom in on every sign, every vehicle, every pole. Run the preprocessing recipes in find-the-original-image to read underexposed or small detail.
Fix the country. Combine your tier-1 and tier-2 clues until they agree. If two contradict — Cyrillic signage with right-hand-drive cars — that contradiction is a finding: an imported-vehicle market, a border region, or a composited image.
Read the text properly. Transcribe, then translate, then search the transcription verbatim in the local language. Searching a translation loses you the match. If the script is unfamiliar, get the script identified before you attempt letters — Georgian, Armenian, Amharic, Khmer, Thai, Lao and Sinhala are all frequently misidentified as each other's neighbours by people guessing.
Narrow to a locality. Named businesses go into a mapping search restricted to the country. Chains are useful in reverse: a chain that only operates in three provinces eliminates the rest of the country.
Query the map for the geometry, not the place. When you have no names but you do have structure — a water tower next to a rail crossing next to a football pitch — query OpenStreetMap features directly with Overpass rather than panning around. This is the step most people skip and the one that most often works.

[out:json][timeout:90];
area["ISO3166-1"="RO"]->.a;
nwr["man_made"="water_tower"](area.a)->.t;
foreach.t -> .w (
  nwr(around.w:400)["leisure"="pitch"]["sport"="soccer"];
  out center;
);

Confirm in imagery. Match the candidate against satellite/aerial and street-level sources. Compare invariants: building footprint shape, roof colour, the count and spacing of windows, kerb line, tree positions, the exact arrangement of a fence. Do not match on things that change — parked cars, awnings, signage, foliage density.
Chronolocate. Sun position for time of day and date band, season from vegetation, weather archives for corroboration. Procedure in reference/chronolocation.md.
Score it. Three independent features aligning, or stop.

Imagery sources and where each one wins

Source	Reach for it when
Google Earth (desktop)	Default satellite work. The historical-imagery timeline is the reason to use the desktop client over the browser: it dates construction, demolition and earthworks.
Google Street View	Default street-level, in the countries it covers. Time-machine feature gives you dated captures of the same spot.
Yandex Maps and Panoramas	Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Turkey. Panorama coverage and satellite detail there routinely exceed Google's, and Yandex's imagery is sometimes from a different date, which is useful on its own.
Mapillary	Crowdsourced street-level. Covers roads, tracks and countries Street View cars never drove. Often the only street-level imagery for rural areas and much of Africa, South Asia and the Balkans.
KartaView	Second crowdsourced street-level set with different contributor geography. Check it when Mapillary is empty.
Bing Maps aerial and Streetside	A different capture date and sometimes a better angle. Oblique views help with building heights.
Apple Maps	Look Around coverage and high-quality 3D in major cities.
Esri World Imagery, with its Wayback archive	Versioned historical basemap imagery — a second, independent historical timeline when Google's is thin.
Copernicus/Sentinel browsers	Sentinel-2 optical at ten-metre resolution with a revisit measured in days. Too coarse for a building, ideal for dating a change: a fire scar, a flood, a new dirt road, a filled reservoir.
Landsat archive (USGS)	Thirty-metre resolution but a multi-decade record. For "when did this quarry appear".
NASA FIRMS	Thermal anomaly detections with timestamps. Dates fires, flares and large explosions to within hours.
Declassified historical imagery via USGS EarthExplorer	Pre-satellite-era-commercial coverage for very old questions.
National and municipal orthophoto portals	Frequently far higher resolution than any global provider, and dated. Search for the country's cadastral or survey agency viewer.
OpenStreetMap plus Overpass	Query by feature type rather than browsing. Also the only source for many footpaths, power lines and small structures.
Panorama generators from elevation models	Synthesises the horizon as seen from a given coordinate and bearing, for ridgeline matching.

Where this goes wrong

Confirmation bias is the failure mode of this discipline. You will find a building that looks right and then start explaining away the differences. Set your falsification criteria before you look: "if the pole on the left is on the wrong side of the road, this candidate is dead." Then honour them.
Imagery is dated, and you are comparing across time. A missing building may have been demolished; a present one may be newer than the photo. Check the capture date of the imagery, and check the historical timeline before you reject a candidate.
Ornamental and introduced vegetation lies constantly. Eucalyptus grows on five continents. Palms are planted far outside their native range. Vegetation is a tier-five clue for a reason — it corroborates, it does not decide.
Global brands and franchised signage tell you almost nothing except where a company operates. A ubiquitous fast-food logo is not a clue; the local-language sub-brand and phone number on the same sign are.
Compression invents detail. Text you "read" at the JPEG artifact level is frequently not there. If a plate or a sign only becomes legible after upscaling, it is a hypothesis, not a reading. Go back to the original pixels.
Reflections and mirrors flip everything. Text in a shop window, or a scene shot into a mirror, reverses. So does a mirrored repost. If the driving side and the text direction disagree, suspect a flip before you suspect a country.
Photos are not necessarily of one place. Composites exist, and a video can be cut from footage of several locations. Geolocating one frame does not geolocate the video. Verify frames independently, and hand suspicion to is-this-photo-real.
Border regions and enclaves break single-clue logic. Signage, plates, currency and infrastructure all mix within a few kilometres of a border, and in territories with disputed or transitional administration.
The claim shapes what you see. If you are told the photo is from a particular city, you will find that city. Try to do the inventory before you read the caption, and when you can't, run the exercise as though the caption said somewhere else.
Long lenses compress and wide lenses stretch. Apparent distance between a foreground subject and a background mountain is a function of focal length. Do not judge "how close the hills are" without accounting for it.

Confidence grading

Confirmed location — a specific coordinate where at least three mutually independent, non-transient features match reference imagery: for example building footprint geometry, the position and count of utility poles, and terrain profile. Independence is the requirement — three photos of the same sign is one feature, not three. You should be able to reproduce the camera position and bearing and state a radius in metres.
Probable location — the correct locality with a plausible specific site; two independent features match, or three match but one reference source is undated or low-resolution. Express as a named place plus a radius, not a coordinate.
Region only — country or province established from tier-one and tier-two clues with no site match. This is a perfectly respectable result and is often all a case needs. Say "somewhere in this province", not a point.
Unconfirmed — a candidate that looks right but rests on transient features, a single matching element, or your own sense of resemblance.
Excluded — you can affirmatively rule the claimed location out. Often easier and more valuable than finding the true

Geolocate from pixels

Every photograph taken outdoors contains enough information to place it. The constraint is never the image; it is your patience and your reference knowledge.

Rank your clues before you search

Work down this list. Each row eliminates far more of the world than the one below it, so a single row-one clue is worth twenty row-six clues.

Tier	Clue	What it buys you
1	Readable proper nouns — business names, street names, municipal logos, school names	Often an instant pin. A business name plus a country is a map query, not an investigation.
1	Phone numbers on signage and vehicles	Country and frequently city, from prefix and digit-grouping convention.
1	Language and script, then orthography	Script narrows to a family; specific diacritics, letter forms and spelling conventions narrow to one country and sometimes one region.
2	Licence plate format — shape, colour, band, character layout	Country, often issuing region. Visible from a long way off, survives compression.
2	Driving side	Splits the world roughly a third to two thirds. Read it from parked-car steering wheels, not just from traffic.
2	Road markings — centre-line colour, dash rhythm, edge lines	Yellow versus white centre lines alone cuts most of the world.
3	Utility pole construction and insulator style	Regionally conservative and rarely changed. One of the most reliable tells in the frame.
3	Bollards, guardrails, kerb painting, chevron markers	Nationally standardised, nationally distinctive.
3	Traffic signal mounting, lens arrangement, backboards	Overhead versus pole-side, horizontal versus vertical, extra lenses — all national conventions.
4	Signage typeface and road-sign standard	Which sign standard a country adopted, and its specific alphabet.
4	Satellite dish elevation and azimuth	Constrains latitude, and the orbital slot indicates which service region.
5	Architecture, roofing material, window and balcony conventions, rooftop tanks and heaters	Region and climate band.
5	Vegetation and biome	Latitude band, climate, hemisphere. Careful: ornamental planting is global.
6	Terrain and horizon profile	Only useful once you have a candidate region — then it is decisive.

Every variation and what it implies: reference/regional-indicators.md.

Method

Inventory. Write a numbered list of every clue in the frame before you search anything. Include the negatives — no snow, no palms, no overhead wires — because negatives eliminate regions just as well. Zoom in on every sign, every vehicle, every pole. Run the preprocessing recipes in find-the-original-image to read underexposed or small detail.
Fix the country. Combine your tier-1 and tier-2 clues until they agree. If two contradict — Cyrillic signage with right-hand-drive cars — that contradiction is a finding: an imported-vehicle market, a border region, or a composited image.
Read the text properly. Transcribe, then translate, then search the transcription verbatim in the local language. Searching a translation loses you the match. If the script is unfamiliar, get the script identified before you attempt letters — Georgian, Armenian, Amharic, Khmer, Thai, Lao and Sinhala are all frequently misidentified as each other's neighbours by people guessing.
Narrow to a locality. Named businesses go into a mapping search restricted to the country. Chains are useful in reverse: a chain that only operates in three provinces eliminates the rest of the country.
Query the map for the geometry, not the place. When you have no names but you do have structure — a water tower next to a rail crossing next to a football pitch — query OpenStreetMap features directly with Overpass rather than panning around. This is the step most people skip and the one that most often works.

[out:json][timeout:90];
area["ISO3166-1"="RO"]->.a;
nwr["man_made"="water_tower"](area.a)->.t;
foreach.t -> .w (
  nwr(around.w:400)["leisure"="pitch"]["sport"="soccer"];
  out center;
);

Confirm in imagery. Match the candidate against satellite/aerial and street-level sources. Compare invariants: building footprint shape, roof colour, the count and spacing of windows, kerb line, tree positions, the exact arrangement of a fence. Do not match on things that change — parked cars, awnings, signage, foliage density.
Chronolocate. Sun position for time of day and date band, season from vegetation, weather archives for corroboration. Procedure in reference/chronolocation.md.
Score it. Three independent features aligning, or stop.

Imagery sources and where each one wins

Source	Reach for it when
Google Earth (desktop)	Default satellite work. The historical-imagery timeline is the reason to use the desktop client over the browser: it dates construction, demolition and earthworks.
Google Street View	Default street-level, in the countries it covers. Time-machine feature gives you dated captures of the same spot.
Yandex Maps and Panoramas	Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Turkey. Panorama coverage and satellite detail there routinely exceed Google's, and Yandex's imagery is sometimes from a different date, which is useful on its own.
Mapillary	Crowdsourced street-level. Covers roads, tracks and countries Street View cars never drove. Often the only street-level imagery for rural areas and much of Africa, South Asia and the Balkans.
KartaView	Second crowdsourced street-level set with different contributor geography. Check it when Mapillary is empty.
Bing Maps aerial and Streetside	A different capture date and sometimes a better angle. Oblique views help with building heights.
Apple Maps	Look Around coverage and high-quality 3D in major cities.
Esri World Imagery, with its Wayback archive	Versioned historical basemap imagery — a second, independent historical timeline when Google's is thin.
Copernicus/Sentinel browsers	Sentinel-2 optical at ten-metre resolution with a revisit measured in days. Too coarse for a building, ideal for dating a change: a fire scar, a flood, a new dirt road, a filled reservoir.
Landsat archive (USGS)	Thirty-metre resolution but a multi-decade record. For "when did this quarry appear".
NASA FIRMS	Thermal anomaly detections with timestamps. Dates fires, flares and large explosions to within hours.
Declassified historical imagery via USGS EarthExplorer	Pre-satellite-era-commercial coverage for very old questions.
National and municipal orthophoto portals	Frequently far higher resolution than any global provider, and dated. Search for the country's cadastral or survey agency viewer.
OpenStreetMap plus Overpass	Query by feature type rather than browsing. Also the only source for many footpaths, power lines and small structures.
Panorama generators from elevation models	Synthesises the horizon as seen from a given coordinate and bearing, for ridgeline matching.

Where this goes wrong

Confirmation bias is the failure mode of this discipline. You will find a building that looks right and then start explaining away the differences. Set your falsification criteria before you look: "if the pole on the left is on the wrong side of the road, this candidate is dead." Then honour them.
Imagery is dated, and you are comparing across time. A missing building may have been demolished; a present one may be newer than the photo. Check the capture date of the imagery, and check the historical timeline before you reject a candidate.
Ornamental and introduced vegetation lies constantly. Eucalyptus grows on five continents. Palms are planted far outside their native range. Vegetation is a tier-five clue for a reason — it corroborates, it does not decide.
Global brands and franchised signage tell you almost nothing except where a company operates. A ubiquitous fast-food logo is not a clue; the local-language sub-brand and phone number on the same sign are.
Compression invents detail. Text you "read" at the JPEG artifact level is frequently not there. If a plate or a sign only becomes legible after upscaling, it is a hypothesis, not a reading. Go back to the original pixels.
Reflections and mirrors flip everything. Text in a shop window, or a scene shot into a mirror, reverses. So does a mirrored repost. If the driving side and the text direction disagree, suspect a flip before you suspect a country.
Photos are not necessarily of one place. Composites exist, and a video can be cut from footage of several locations. Geolocating one frame does not geolocate the video. Verify frames independently, and hand suspicion to is-this-photo-real.
Border regions and enclaves break single-clue logic. Signage, plates, currency and infrastructure all mix within a few kilometres of a border, and in territories with disputed or transitional administration.
The claim shapes what you see. If you are told the photo is from a particular city, you will find that city. Try to do the inventory before you read the caption, and when you can't, run the exercise as though the caption said somewhere else.
Long lenses compress and wide lenses stretch. Apparent distance between a foreground subject and a background mountain is a function of focal length. Do not judge "how close the hills are" without accounting for it.

Confidence grading

Confirmed location — a specific coordinate where at least three mutually independent, non-transient features match reference imagery: for example building footprint geometry, the position and count of utility poles, and terrain profile. Independence is the requirement — three photos of the same sign is one feature, not three. You should be able to reproduce the camera position and bearing and state a radius in metres.
Probable location — the correct locality with a plausible specific site; two independent features match, or three match but one reference source is undated or low-resolution. Express as a named place plus a radius, not a coordinate.
Region only — country or province established from tier-one and tier-two clues with no site match. This is a perfectly respectable result and is often all a case needs. Say "somewhere in this province", not a point.
Unconfirmed — a candidate that looks right but rests on transient features, a single matching element, or your own sense of resemblance.
Excluded — you can affirmatively rule the claimed location out. Often easier and more valuable than finding the true

# Geolocate from pixels

Every photograph taken outdoors contains enough information to place it. The
constraint is never the image; it is your patience and your reference knowledge.

The beginner mistake is searching before inventorying. People see a mountain,
type "mountain with two peaks" into a search box, and get nothing. The method is
the opposite: extract every clue first, rank them by how much of the planet each
one eliminates, and only then start searching — because the clue that pins the
country is usually not the one your eye went to.

## Rank your clues before you search

Work down this list. Each row eliminates far more of the world than the one below
it, so a single row-one clue is worth twenty row-six clues.

Every variation and what it implies:
[reference/regional-indicators.md](reference/regional-indicators.md).

## Method

```
[out:json][timeout:90];
area["ISO3166-1"="RO"]->.a;
nwr["man_made"="water_tower"](area.a)->.t;
foreach.t -> .w (
nwr(around.w:400)["leisure"="pitch"]["sport"="soccer"];
out center;
