Every image tells a story. But the most important question—where was this taken?—often goes unanswered.

We've all been there. An image surfaces—maybe from a tip, maybe from a dataset, maybe from the field—and you need to know its origin. The traditional approach involves hours of manual searching, cross-referencing landmarks against satellite imagery, hoping for a match that might never come.

And even when you find something, there's no confidence score. No verification. Just intuition and hope.

What if you could just upload an image and get an answer?

That's why we built OceanIR. It's an AI-powered platform that takes the complexity out of geolocation. Upload a photo, and within seconds you'll have a location estimate—complete with a confidence score and an interactive map for verification.

Currently available in six metropolitan areas, with results delivered in under five seconds.

How it works

OceanIR uses our Orca model—a city-scale geolocation AI trained to understand urban environments at a granular level. It doesn't just match pixels. It reads the visual language of a place: architectural styles, street furniture, signage patterns, vegetation, even the quality of light.

The Process

1

Upload your image

Any photo from any source—social media, archives, field research.

2

AI analyzes visual context

Orca model processes architectural patterns, signage, and environmental cues.

3

Receive location with confidence score

Interactive map view with verification tools for cross-referencing.

Every prediction comes with a confidence score, so you know exactly how reliable the estimate is. High confidence? Move forward with assurance. Lower confidence? You know to dig deeper.

Traditional Methods

—Hours of manual reverse image searching
—No confidence scoring—just guesswork
—Privacy concerns with third-party services
—Limited to exact image matches

With OceanIR

+Results in seconds, not hours
+Every prediction includes confidence scoring
+Privacy-first: data deleted after processing
+AI understands scene context, not just pixels
