Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide favorable automatic discovery of popular landmarks.SOLUTION: In one embodiment, the present invention is a method for populating and updating a database of images of landmarks, which includes geo-clustering geo-tagged images according to geographic proximity to generate one or more geo-clusters and visual-clustering the one or more geo-clusters according to image similarity to generate one or more visual clusters. In another embodiment, the present invention is a system for identifying landmarks from digital images, which includes: a database of geo-tagged images; a landmark database; a geo-clustering module; and a visual clustering module. In other embodiments, the present invention may be a method of enhancing user queries to retrieve images of landmarks, or a method of automatically tagging a new digital image with text labels.
