Google has developed a new artificial intelligence system which can recognize the geo-location of a picture. It can also identify a particular monument and area by using sophisticated mapping techniques. This will not only improve an intelligent image search, but also provide a more accurate mapping facility. The system doesn’t exactly spit out GPS coordinates. Instead the team divided the globe into about 26,000 squares of differing sizes based on how many photos from the data set were taken in the area. Huge image search and detailed mapping system is space consuming and particularly troublesome for smaller devices like smartphones and tabs which have space constraints. In order to minimize these issues they are trying to compress huge data within 377mb only.
