1. A method, comprising:
identifying, using one or more processors, a first set of data from a first geographic image depicting a first location, the first set of data describing objects associated with the first location; retrieving, using the one or more processors, a second geographic image from a plurality of geographic images, the second geographic image associated with a second set of data indicating information describing a location depicted in the second geographic image, wherein the location associated with the second geographic image is within a given proximity of the first location; determining, using the one or more processors, a similarity value based on a visual similarity of the first geographic image to the second geographic image; and when the similarity value satisfies a threshold, updating, using the one or more processors, the second set of data associated with the second image with at least some of the first set of data.
