SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A LOCATION ON MULTIMEDIA CONTENT

1 . A method for determining a precise location based on multimedia content, comprising:

analyzing a multimedia content element (MMCE), wherein the analysis further comprises generating at least one signature to the MMCE;

matching the generated at least one signature to at least one concept stored in a database, wherein each of the at least one stored concept is associated with a predetermined precise location; and

identifying, based on the matching, a precise location depicted in the MMCE.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating location coordinates based on the identified precise location.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining at least one concept based on the generated at least one signature; and

matching the determined at least one concept to the at least one concept stored in the database.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein each concept is a collection of signatures and metadata describing the concept.

5 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the at least one concept is determined by querying a concept-based database using the at least one signature.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one signature is robust to noise and distortion.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each signature is generated by a signature generator system including a plurality of at least partially statistically independent computational cores, wherein the properties of each core are set independently of the properties of each other core.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the at least one signature is generated based on at least one of: the MMCE, and metadata associated with the MMCE.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the metadata includes at least one of: a time stamp of the MMCE, a device used to capture the MMCE, a location pointer, tags, comments, and Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates associated with the MMCE.

10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing one or more processing units to execute a process for determining a precise location based on multimedia content, the process comprising:

analyzing a multimedia content element (MMCE), wherein the analysis further comprises generating at least one signature to the MMCE;

matching the generated at least one signature to at least one reference concept stored in a database, wherein each of the at least one reference concepts are associated with a predetermined precise location; and

identifying, based on the matching, a precise location depicted in the MMCE.

11 . A system for determining a precise location based on multimedia content, comprising:

a processing circuitry; and

a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:

analyze a multimedia content element (MMCE), wherein the analysis includes generating at least one signature to the MMCE;

match the generated at least one signature to at least one concept stored in a database, wherein each of the at least one stored concept is associated with a predetermined precise location; and

identify, based on the matching, a precise location depicted in the MMCE.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is further configured to:

generate location coordinates based on the identified precise location.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is further configured to:

determine at least one concept based on the generated at least one signature; and

match the determined at least one concept to the at least one concept stored in the database.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein each concept is a collection of signatures and metadata describing the concept.

15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the at least one concept is determined by querying a concept-based database using the at least one signature.

16 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one signature is robust to noise and distortion.

17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein each signature is generated by a signature generator system including a plurality of at least partially statistically independent computational cores, wherein the properties of each core are set independently of the properties of each other core.

18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein each of the at least one signature is generated based on at least one of: the MMCE, and metadata associated with the MMCE.

19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the metadata includes at least one of: a time stamp of the MMCE, a device used to capture the MMCE, a location pointer, tags, comments, and Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates associated with the MMCE.
