  • Geotagging Photos to Share Field Trips with the World During the Past Few
    Geotagging photos to share field trips with the world During the past few years, numerous new online tools for collaboration and community building have emerged, providing web-users with a tremendous capability to connect with and share a variety of resources. Coupled with this new technology is the ability to ‘geo-tag’ photos, i.e. give a digital photo a unique spatial location anywhere on the surface of the earth. More precisely geo-tagging is the process of adding geo-spatial identification or ‘metadata’ to various media such as websites, RSS feeds, or images. This data usually consists of latitude and longitude coordinates, though it can also include altitude and place names as well. Therefore adding geo-tags to photographs means adding details as to where as well as when they were taken. Geo-tagging didn’t really used to be an easy thing to do, but now even adding GPS data to Google Earth is fairly straightforward. The basics Creating geo-tagged images is quite straightforward and there are various types of software or websites that will help you ‘tag’ the photos (this is discussed later in the article). In essence, all you need to do is select a photo or group of photos, choose the "Place on map" command (or similar). Most programs will then prompt for an address or postcode. Alternatively a GPS device can be used to store ‘way points’ which represent coordinates of where images were taken. Some of the newest phones (Nokia N96 and i- Phone for instance) have automatic geo-tagging capabilities. These devices automatically add latitude and longitude metadata to the existing EXIF file which is already holds information about the picture such as camera, date, aperture settings etc.

However, few studies have examined the reliability of social media user-supplied location and description in- formation, and most who do use highly disparate measurements of accuracy. We examined the accuracy of predicting Tweet origin locations based on these features, and found an average ac- curacy of 1941 km. We created a machine learning regressor to evaluate the predictive accuracy of the textual content of these fields, and obtained an average accuracy of 256 km. In a dataset of 325788 tweets over eight days, we obtained city-level accuracy for approximately 29% of users based only on their location field. We describe a new method of measuring location accuracy. 1. Introduction With the rise of micro-blogging services and publicly available social media posts, the problem of location identification has become increasingly important.

  • Geotagging with Local Lexicons to Build Indexes for Textually-Specified Spatial Data
    Geotagging with Local Lexicons to Build Indexes for Textually-Specified Spatial Data Michael D. Lieberman, Hanan Samet, Jagan Sankaranarayanan Center for Automation Research, Institute for Advanced Computer Studies, Department of Computer Science, University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742, USA {codepoet, hjs, jagan}@cs.umd.edu Abstract— The successful execution of location-based and feature-based queries on spatial databases requires the construc- tion of spatial indexes on the spatial attributes. This is not simple when the data is unstructured as is the case when the data is a collection of documents such as news articles, which is the domain of discourse, where the spatial attribute consists of text that can be (but is not required to be) interpreted as the names of locations. In other words, spatial data is specified using text (known as a toponym) instead of geometry, which means that there is some ambiguity involved. The process of identifying and disambiguating references to geographic locations is known as geotagging and involves using a combination of internal document structure and external knowledge, including a document-independent model of the audience’s vocabulary of geographic locations, termed its Fig. 1. Locations mentioned in news articles about the May 2009 swine flu pandemic, obtained by geotagging related news articles. Large red circles spatial lexicon. In contrast to previous work, a new spatial lexicon indicate high frequency, and small circles are color coded according to recency, model is presented that distinguishes between a global lexicon of with lighter colors indicating the newest mentions. locations known to all audiences, and an audience-specific local lexicon.

  • Geotagging Tweets Using Their Content
    Proceedings of the Twenty-Fourth International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference Geotagging Tweets Using Their Content Sharon Paradesi Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory Massachusetts Institute of Technology [email protected] Abstract Harnessing rich, but unstructured information on social networks in real-time and showing it to relevant audi- ence based on its geographic location is a major chal- lenge. The system developed, TwitterTagger, geotags tweets and shows them to users based on their current physical location. Experimental validation shows a per- formance improvement of three orders by TwitterTag- ger compared to that of the baseline model. Introduction People use popular social networking websites such as Face- book and Twitter to share their interests and opinions with their friends and the online community. Harnessing this in- formation in real-time and showing it to the relevant audi- ence based on its geographic location is a major challenge.

The availability of timely and accurate information about ongoing events is important for relief organizations seeking to effectively respond to disasters. Recently, social media platforms, and in particular Twitter, have gained traction as 10 a novel source of information on disaster events. Unfortunately, geographical information is rarely attached to tweets, which hinders the use of Twitter for geographical applications. As a solution, analyses of a tweet’s text, combined with an evaluation of its metadata, can help to increase the number of geo-located tweets. This paper describes a new algorithm (TAGGS), that georeferences tweets by using the spatial information of groups of tweets mentioning the same location. This technique results in a roughly twofold increase in the number of geo-located tweets as compared to existing methods. We applied this approach 15 to 35.1 million flood-related tweets in 12 languages, collected over 2.5 years. In the dataset, we found 11.6 million tweets mentioning one or more flood locations, which can be towns (6.9 million), provinces (3.3 million), or countries (2.2 million).
