# How To Find Geolocation (Geospatial)
|
|
|
|
Finding geolocation is not easy, there are obstacles when you want to find a location for example, limited resources, unclear data and the information you find is not valid. Here the detail
|
|
|
|
1. The data you get is poor such as image quality, audio, etc.
|
|
2. Lack of information and lack of valid information
|
|
3. Lack of data sources such as satellite images, places that are rarely touched by satellites or services about satellites or GIS (Geographic Information Systems)
|
|
4. Conflict areas, remote and secret areas that are rarely discussed by the public or visited by the public
|
|
5. Your source of information is not real time, you need a lot of real time information and data to facilitate analysis.
|
|
6. The large number of identical regions or areas and geographic information in a region (You need to understand each region in terms of geography, houses, settlements etc)
|
|
7. Sources of data obtained at night or in the shadows (dim places)
|
|

# How To Find Geolocation?
|
|
|
|
1. Reverse image, always use it such as Google Lens, Bing, Yandex and other things
|
|
2. Knowing the image or media (IMINT) Understand the objects in the media. Is there a place name? People? Faces? And anything else you can use that clue?
|
|
3. Exif or metadata, check the metadata on each file
|
|
4. Improve the quality of your data such as using AI to clarify objects, editing skills and other things that help clarify objects
|
|
5. Learn Geography
|
|
6. Use satellite imagery and street view
|
|
7. Use animation or 3D building to make it easier to find the POV of an object
|
|
8. Leverage sun position and shadows
|
|
9. Use OpenStreetMap for data mining (OSM Query or Overpass Query)
|
|
10. Trying search historical image or satellite (wayback)
|
|
11. Trying check nearby about the location (If you has found the location such as building, street name and etc)
|
|
12. Find out about the place or region you want to know such as seasons, timezone, buildings, people (faces), language and other things.
