<br>
Problem: there is no geolocation for these photos—where the photographer was standing and which way he was looking when he took these photos.<br>
<br>
Objective: Scan the photos and geolocate them, then pin them on a map of the region.<br>
<br>
For geocoding them:<br>
<br>
- “fly” around on Google Earth/Maps trying to recognize the terrain from the photo;<br>
<br>
- use programs such as [Hey What’s That](<a href="http://www.heywhatsthat.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.heywhatsthat.<wbr>com</a>);<br>
<br>
- construct a crowdsourcing application and get everyone and anyone involved.<br>
<br>
I ask you, are there other solutions/approaches that come to your geospatial-hive-mind ?<br>
