Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for identifying a photo that lacks location metadata indicating where the photo was captured and determining a photo location to associate with the photo. In some implementations, a photo associated with a user is identified that includes metadata indicating a date and/or time it was captured, but lacks location data indicating where the photo was captured. In some versions of those implementations, a relationship of the metadata of the photo to at least one of a location date and a location time associated with a visit location of the user is determined. A photo location may be determined based on the visit location and associated with the photo. In some implementations, the visit location of the user may be determined independent of any location sensor.
