Computer scientists designed a program that can analyze a photograph
to identify where it was taken. The program scans the scene on the
photo, noting colors, textures and lines, and uses these elements to
compare it to more than six million images previously tagged with
locations on online databases. The program has an average success
rate of 16 percent, which is better than random chance or a human guess.
