Method: Iterative reasoning loop (max 5 iterations) Inspiration: GeoVista research framework
Core Workflow
1. Visual Clue Extraction
| Text/Signage | Languages, scripts, street signs, license plates, phone formats
| Infrastructure | Road markings, traffic lights, poles, utilities, bollards
| Architecture | Materials, styles, roof types, density patterns
| Nature | Vegetation, terrain, geology, sun position, weather
| Culture | Vehicles, driving side, clothing, shops, brands
2. Hypothesis Formation
Form hypotheses at multiple scales:
| Continent/Region | Europe, Southeast Asia
| Country | Specific nation
| Region/State | Sub-national
| City/Town | Locality
| Precise | Street-level
For each: Note supporting evidence, confidence (H/M/L), conflicts.
3. Image Examination
When details unclear:
-
Crop regions of interest
-
Enhance text/signage
-
Isolate architectural details
4. Web Search Verification
| Sign text
| "[exact text]" location
| Features
| [feature] [suspected region]
| Business
| "[name]" address
| Landmark
| [description] landmark [region]
| Road
| [designation] [country]
Cross-reference multiple clues, look for consistent attribution.
5. Iterative Refinement
After each cycle:
-
Update hypothesis confidence
-
Identify remaining uncertainties
-
Determine if more examination helps
-
Continue until confident or limit reached
Output Format
**Location Analysis**
Observed Clues:
- [Key observations with confidence]
Reasoning Process:
- [Hypothesis formation and verification]
**Conclusion**
- Most likely location: [As specific as evidence allows]
- Confidence: High/Medium/Low
- Key evidence: [Primary determinants]
- Uncertainties: [What remains unclear]
Important Considerations
| Confidence | High requires multiple independent confirmations
| Single clues | Can mislead (similar signage in multiple countries)
| Privacy | Don't identify individuals or residential addresses
| Iteration | Max 5 cycles, stop when marginal value low
