Determining object geolocations based on heterogeneous data sources

A system, comprising:

• memory;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
• identify a secondary object associated with an object of interest;
• receive, from a first data source associated with the secondary object, a first dataset including a first data item specifying a first time identifier and a first geolocation associated with the secondary object;
• receive, from a second data source associated with the secondary object, a second dataset including a second data item specifying a second time identifier and a second geolocation associated with the secondary object;
• determine a difference between the first data item associated with the secondary object and the second data item associated with the secondary object;
• resolve a conflict with respect to the first dataset and the second dataset;
• and
• determine a confidence level associated with a geolocation of the object of interest based at least in part on the determined difference between the first data item associated with the secondary object and the second data item associated with the secondary object;
• wherein the secondary object is associated with the object of interest by a transient association, such that the geolocation associated with the object of interest matches, at certain times, the second geolocation associated with the secondary object.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• identify a secondary object associated with an object of interest;
• receive, from a first data source associated with the secondary object, a first dataset including a first data item specifying a first time identifier and a first geolocation associated with the secondary object;
• receive, from a second data source associated with the secondary object, a second dataset including a second data item specifying a second time identifier and a second geolocation associated with the secondary object;
• determine a difference between the first data item associated with the secondary object and the second data item associated with the secondary object;
• resolve a conflict with respect to the first dataset and the second dataset;
• and
• determine a confidence level associated with a geolocation of the object of interest based at least in part on the determined difference between the first data item associated with the secondary object and the second data item associated with the secondary object;
• wherein the secondary object is associated with the object of interest by a transient association, such that the geolocation associated with the object of interest matches, at certain times, the second geolocation associated with the secondary object.
