Solutions§ 03AI Exact Location

From a region to a standpoint.

Exact location takes an established region and works it down to a street and a camera position, corroborating against street-level imagery and independent sources before it will claim anything address-sized.
01What it returns

A street-level position

The standpoint the frame was captured from, with the direction the camera was facing.

Corroboration

The independent sources that confirmed it, each one named, so the claim can be checked without rerunning anything.

A refusal, when it is right

Where the frame supports a region but not a street, it says so and stays at the wider radius rather than inventing precision.

02How it reads the frame
01

Street furniture

Poles, bollards, drainage, kerb cuts and paving, matched against the region.

02

Sightlines

The geometry between foreground and background fixes a standpoint a single object cannot.

03

Legible text

Where words resolve to a real place. Text alone never counts as an address-level cue.

04

Reverse geocoding

The proposed point is checked back against what is actually there.
