Finding Locally Prominent Semantic Features for Navigation and Geocoding

One or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• accessing image data comprising a plurality of images associated with one or more semantic tags, wherein each of the one or more semantic tags is associated with one or more features of the plurality of images, and wherein each of the one or more features is associated with a geographic location;
• determining one or more landmarks comprising the one or more features that satisfy one or more entropic criteria associated with a localized prominence of each of the one or more features;
• determining, based at least in part on context data associated with a location of a vantage point on a path comprising a plurality of locations, the one or more landmarks associated with the vantage point;
• and
• generating navigational data comprising one or more indications associated with the one or more landmarks.
