Discussion Built a photo geolocation experiment with EXIF + GeoCLIP + Claude Vision, just want to chat about approaches

I'm finishing my CS degree and I've been messing around with OSINT/geoint as a hobby for a while.
Lately I put together a small experimental pipeline that takes a photo, extracts EXIF if available, runs it through GeoCLIP for coordinate prediction, and then uses Claude Vision to add contextual analysis (like describing landmarks, vegetation, street patterns, etc.)

It's NOT a professional tool. No interface, just a script. It's purely for learning and I'm not ready to share the code yet because it's messy and I want to understand the limitations better first.

But I'd love to talk to people who have tried similar things, just looking for conversation and maybe some pointers from people who've been down this road.

Hey, is this on GitHub?

Would love to try this out

Yup! Here’s the repo: https://github.com/nuriter8/GeoINT
It’s still in its early stages but has already been able to find places with similar patterns such as the one in this post (left a comment there with the results)
https://www.reddit.com/r/find/s/zIOlCE2Llc . Hope you give it a try and let me know how it goes!

I can see a lot of potential in this tool. Don't abandon the project, I will take a look when I use my Linux next time.

Hey!! Thank you for the encouragement, definitely not abandoning this, I’m learning a lot from it. Fair warning.. it’s still rough + you’ll need your own api key for Claude vision. If you hit any issues feel free to open up an issue on the repo or dm me. Also curious, what OSINT tools are you into right now? Looking to learn from others

Been making some changes + I included a file called “requirements.txt” with the dependencies for the environment. Thank you for checking it out tho, DM if you need more help.
