Abstract: Example systems and methods improve a location detection process. A system accesses image data and image metadata, whereby the image data captures images of a plurality of objects from different views, each image having corresponding image metadata. The system then detects each object in the plurality of objects in the image data. A plurality of rays in three-dimensional space is generated, whereby each ray of the plurality of rays is generated based on the detected objects and the corresponding image metadata. The system predicts object locations using the generated rays based on a probabilistic triangulation of the rays. The networked system updates map data using the predicted object locations. The updating includes adding objects at their predicted object locations to the map data. The map data is used to generate a map.
