In previous blog, ‘Marking the map’, we discussed different available frameworks and APIs for marking geographical coordinates on the map. This edition is an extension to that; here we will discuss an algorithm which targets extracting geographical coordinates (i.e. latitude and longitude) from an image. This solution requires implementing different image processing algorithms and a bit of mathematics. Let’s discuss the requirement in brief.

To start with, let me try to give a brief on why we need such a solution. With our latest assignment for our telecom client, we were researching on how a sketched map be superimposed on a geo application.
