Abstract
Systems and methods to generate clusters of media objects (e.g., photos) that are associated with geolocation information (e.g., GPS data, folder name, file name, other metadata) and without geolocation information so that the media objects in a media library without geolocation information can be given location data in an automated user approved system. An approval system of visual overlays on a graphical user interface (GUI) lets users approve the proposed geolocation clusters and approve or reject the geolocation proposals individually or as a group. The resulting approved clusters may then be tagged with geolocation information (e.g., GPS coordinates, city, state, country) and may then be automatically organized in a number of ways, including but not limited to, by location, on a calendar, on a map, etc.
