Crowdsourcing What Is Where: Community-Contributed Photos as Volunteered Geographic Information

Leveraging large collections of georeferenced, community-contributed photographs can help solve three knowledge-discovery problems: annotating novel images, annotating geographic locations, and performing geographic discovery.
