Abstract

In one example, a computer device includes one or more processors and a camera module coupled to the one or more processors. The camera module is configured to capture visual images. The one or more processors are configured to analyze image data of a visual image for identifying whether the visual image includes a visual feature, and produce a message which includes a visual feature indication and a location indication. The visual feature indication indicates whether the visual image includes the visual feature, and the location indication indicates a location at which the visual image was captured.
