Technologies

Advanced AI Models

OceanIR uses state-of-the-art computer vision models trained on millions of images to recognize architectural patterns, landmarks, and environmental features unique to each city.

Multi-Layer Analysis

Our AI analyzes multiple visual elements including building architecture, street layouts, vegetation, signage, and atmospheric conditions to triangulate precise locations.

Geospatial Intelligence

Advanced geocoding and reverse geocoding algorithms cross-reference visual analysis with comprehensive geographic databases to pinpoint exact coordinates.

Privacy-First Processing

All image analysis includes automatic privacy detection and face blurring to protect individuals while maintaining geolocation accuracy.

Process
01

Image Processing

When you upload an image, it's processed through our secure pipeline with automatic privacy detection and anonymization.

02

Feature Extraction

The AI identifies key visual features including landmarks, architectural styles, street patterns, and environmental clues.

03

Location Matching

Extracted features are matched against our comprehensive database of city-specific visual signatures and geographic data.

04

Confidence Scoring

Multiple AI models vote on the location, and a confidence score is calculated based on the strength of visual evidence.

05

Results Delivery

You receive precise coordinates, an interactive map, and detailed analysis explaining how the location was identified.

04
Accuracy

OceanIR achieves high precision across all supported cities through:

  • -City-Specific Training: Each city has dedicated AI models trained on local visual features and patterns
  • -Ensemble Learning: Multiple AI models vote on locations, reducing individual model errors
  • -Continuous Improvement: Models are regularly updated with new training data and architectural changes
  • -Multi-Modal Analysis: Combines visual, geographic, and contextual data for comprehensive location identification
