Abstract: A location of an object of interest (205) is determined using both observations and non-observations. Numerous images (341-345) are stored in a database in association with image capture information, including an image capture location (221-225). Image recognition is used to determine which of the images include the object of interest (205) and which of the images do not include the object of interest. For each of multiple candidate locations (455) within an area of the captured images, a likelihood value of the object of interest existing at the candidate location is calculated using the image capture information for images determined to include the object of interest and using the image capture information for images determined not to include the object of interest. The location of the object is determined using the likelihood values for the multiple candidate locations.
