LocationComputer Science has seen many major breakthroughs since its inception. Especially in  this decade, computer programming has tried to compete with human being and Artificial  Intelligence is likely to pass the Turing Test. Researchers at Carnegie-Mellon  university in Pittsburgh have developed a new program that will help detect the location  of a given picture. The program requires a picture to perform its operations and  processes it according to some attributes like color, texture and lines etc to tell  where the picture was taken. It matches the data retrieved from the image with already  present 6million tagged images on Flickr. The accuracy of the program is 16% which is  still better than human guesstimates or random guess. It works better in judging famous places like Eiffel Tower.
