From a region to a precise location.
Find Street narrows a selected search region to ranked, meter-level location candidates. It works from the visible scene, so an image does not need to contain an address, street sign, readable text, or location metadata.
Raven analyzes the image as a whole and returns locations for investigator review. Results can resolve to a specific street, building, or address rather than a broad neighborhood.
A parked car on a palm-lined street.
The source image contains no visible house number, street sign, business name, or location metadata. Find Street returned ten ranked candidates. The top-ranked result was confirmed at 8982 Lillyhammer Court.
Ranked candidates. Investigator confirmed.
Find Street returns a ranked candidate list rather than presenting one location as automatically correct. Investigators review the candidates inside Raven and record each result as confirmed, possible, or dismissed.
The review process creates a clear record of which location was selected and how the candidate was handled.
- Address: the candidate street-level location.
- Coordinates: latitude and longitude.
- Similarity score: the ranking signal for the candidate.
- Rank: the candidate's position in the returned list.
- Review state: confirmed, possible, or dismissed.
Similarity scores rank candidates against one another. They are not probabilities that an address is correct.
Common questions.
How is Find Street different from Find Region?
Find Region returns broad candidate areas with an approximate radius. Find Street searches within a selected region and returns ranked locations with meter-level accuracy.
What does meter-level accuracy mean?
Meter-level accuracy means Find Street can resolve an image to a specific street, building, or address rather than only identifying a city or neighborhood.
Does the image need a street sign or house number?
No. Find Street works from the visible scene and does not require readable text, a visible address, EXIF, or GPS metadata.
Does Find Street require a search region?
Yes. Investigators select a supported region before running the search. If the location is completely unknown, Find Region can be used first to identify likely areas.
How are results presented?
Find Street returns ranked candidate locations with addresses, coordinates, similarity scores, and review states. An investigator confirms, marks as possible, or dismisses each candidate.
How fast is it?
Candidates are returned in seconds. Investigator confirmation time varies by image and case. In the Superbolt example, the photograph was resolved to a confirmed address in approximately 20 minutes.
