The Placing Task requires participants to predict the locations where photos and videos were captured solely by inspecting their content and metadata, and optionally by exploiting additional knowledge sources such as gazetteers. This year the task not only focuses on the traditional “estimation” aspect (i.e. where exactly was the photo/video taken?), but also on “verification” aspect (i.e. was the photo/video really taken where it is reported to have been taken?). The Placing Task integrates all aspects of multimedia – text, audio, photo, video, location, time, users and context.
