Reducing the search space for recognition of objects in an image based on wireless signals

A tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors effectuate operations, comprising:

• obtaining, with one or more processors of a mobile computing device, a value indicative of a geolocation of the mobile computing device determined based on wireless signals received by the mobile computing device;
• accessing, with one or more processors of the mobile computing device, based on the value indicative of the geolocation of the mobile computing device, an object classifier configured to receive data based on at least part of an image and output a value indicative of whether a corresponding object appears in the image;
• capturing, with one or more processors of the mobile computing device, an image with a camera of the mobile computing device;
• determining, with one or more processors of the mobile computing device, based on at least part of the captured image and the accessed object classifier, that the corresponding object appears in the captured image;
• and
• storing, with one or more processors of the mobile computing device, a result of the determination in memory of the mobile computing device, wherein determining that the corresponding object appears in the captured image is performed before or without sending the captured image via a network to a remote server.
