Common Questions
How many sighting photos do you need?
Even a single photo can produce a candidate location. More photos from different angles increase confidence and help build a movement timeline.
Does it work with low-quality images?
With lower-quality images, results widen from street-level to broader candidate areas. Confidence levels make it clear when extra corroboration is needed.
Can it work with indoor-only photos?
Indoor scenes are lower confidence unless they contain identifiable architectural features, branded signage, or partial outdoor views. Include any photos that contain exterior context.
