WKI Image Recognizer provides the mobile user with detailed information on the location and name of a POI that she photographed. The application uses services developed by WeKnowIt project partners in order to recognize objects (POIs - Points Of Interest) on a picture, determine its geolocation, and determine tags associated with this POI.
