Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for transferring information metadata from a first digital image to a second digital image. In one embodiment, an assignment module is configured to assign a corresponding portion of the first image to the second image using geolocation data. An extraction module is configured to extract a collection of features associated with the second image and the corresponding portion of the first image. An alignment module is configured to align the second image with a portion of the first image by transforming the second image so that features associated with the second image are geometrically aligned with the corresponding features of the portion of the first image. A metadata module is configured to associate metadata from the portion of the first image with the transformed second image. An annotation module is configured to annotate the second image with the associated metadata to generate an annotated image.
