    Abstract: A method that enables building recognition via object detection and geospatial intelligence. The method includes detecting an object in an input image, wherein the object is located within a bounding area and extracting a physical location and a camera pose associated with the input image. The method also includes projecting a location coordinate of at least one entity onto the input image to obtain a projected point for the at least one entity, wherein the at least one entity is selected according to the physical location and camera pose associated with the input image and determining a nearest projected point to the bounding area. Finally, the method includes labeling the object within the bounding area with an entity name of the at least one entity associated with the nearest projected point.
