Interesting approach to photo autotagging. Doesn't seem to involve geotagging, however. Pity.

Autotagger from imense® provides a consistent approach to keywording, removing the subjective and often error prone nature of traditional human keywording. Image agencies; news agencies; publishing groups and Digital Asset Management providers now have a fast and accurate method of tagging images with dramatic cost savings, resulting in lower operational costs for themselves and their clients.
Technology
Autotagger uses Ontology based visual information processing technology to extract visual features from images. Developed over the last 9 years at our Cambridge laboratories, this unique method allows our algorithms to output thousands of different keywords.
Traditional Content Based Image Recognition (CBIR) techniques are limited in scope to recognize general scenes such as “outside” or “Sports” or recognizing a “Face” within images. The computational difficulty in recognising objects and abstract concepts such as “Happy” or “Joy” has meant alternative systems have been poorly adopted. Through a combination of our Ontology based information processing with our linguistic ontology and using advanced statistical inference techniques, imense® technology breaks traditional CBIR barriers.
The Autotagger platform can now produce the majority of keywords within 1 second, including abstract concepts.
