METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAPPING A POINT OF INTEREST BASED ON USER-CAPTURED IMAGES

摘要

An approach is provided for mapping a point of interest (POI) based on user-captured images. One or more user-captured images are queried based, at least in part, on a POI data record. One or more identifying features of a POI associated with the POI data record are recognized in the one or more user-captured images and a position of the one or more identifying features is determined in the one or more user-captured images. The POI is mapped based, at least in part, on the position of the one or more identifying features and image metadata associated with the one or more user-captured images.
