Features:

• Drag-and-drop image upload
• In-browser API key configuration
• Interactive 3D Google Maps
• Real-time AI analysis with detailed explanations

Command Line Interface

geointel --image path/to/your/image.jpg

Available Arguments

Argument Description

--web	Launch web interface (no --image required)
--host	Host address for web interface (default: 127.0.0.1)
--port	Port number for web interface (default: 5000)
--image	Required for CLI mode. Path to the image file or URL to analyze
--context	Additional context information about the image
--guess	Your guess of where the image might have been taken
--output	Output file path to save the results (JSON format)
--api-key	Custom Gemini API key

Examples

Launch web interface:
$ geointel --web

Basic CLI usage:
$ geointel --image vacation_photo.jpg

With additional context:
$ geointel --image vacation_photo.jpg --context "Taken during summer vacation in 2023"

With location guess:
$ geointel --image vacation_photo.jpg --guess "Mediterranean coast"

Saving results to a file:
$ geointel --image vacation_photo.jpg --output results.json

Using a custom API key:
$ geointel --image vacation_photo.jpg --api-key "your-api-key-here"

API Key Setup

GeoIntel uses Google's Gemini API. You can:

- Set the API key as an environment variable: GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key_here

- Use the --api-key parameter in the command line

Get your Gemini API key from Google AI Studio.

SDK

from geointel import GeoIntel

# Initialize GeoIntel
geointel = GeoIntel()

# Analyze an image and get JSON result
result = geointel.locate(image_path="image.jpg")

# Work with the JSON data
if "error" in result:
    print(f"Error: {result['error']}")
else:
    # Access the first location
    if "locations" in result and result["locations"]:
        location = result["locations"][0]
        print(f"Location: {location['city']}, {location['country']}")
        
        # Get Google Maps URL
        if "coordinates" in location:
            lat = location["coordinates"]["latitude"]
            lng = location["coordinates"]["longitude"]
            maps_url = f"https://www.google.com/maps?q={lat},{lng}"

Features

• AI-powered geolocation of images using Google's Gemini API

• Generate Google Maps links based on image coordinates

• Provide confidence levels for location predictions

• Support for additional context and location guesses

• Export results to JSON

• Handles both local image files and image URLs

Response Format

• The API returns a structured JSON response with:

• interpretation: Comprehensive analysis of the image

• locations: Array of possible locations with:

• Country, state, and city information

• Confidence level (High/Medium/Low)

• Coordinates (latitude/longitude)

• Detailed explanation of the reasoning
