Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer storage mediums are provided for correcting the placement of an object on an image. An example method includes providing the image and depth data that describes the depth of the three-dimensional scene captured by the image. The depth data describes at least a distance between a camera that captured the three-dimensional scene and one or more structures in the scene and a geolocation of the camera when the three-dimensional scene was captured. When the object is moved from a first location on the image to a second location on the image, a set of coordinates that describes the second location relative to the image is received. The set of coordinates are then translated into geolocated coordinates that describe a geolocation that corresponds to the second location. The set of coordinate is translated, at least in part, using the depth data associated with the image.
