Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for deriving signal location information. In general, signal ingestion modules ingest different types of raw signals and normalize the raw signals to form normalized signals. In one aspect, a raw signal is ingested. A partially normalized signal is derived from the raw signal. A list of one or more geo cells where the raw signal potentially originated is accessed. A location annotation identifying a geo cell from among the one or more geo cells is formulated. The partially normalized signal is annotated with the location annotation. In another aspect, a location annotation identifying a geo cell is formulated. A partially normalized signal is annotated with the location annotation. A location in a two dimensional space is determined from the location annotation. The location is inserted into the partially normalized signal to form at fully normalized signal.
