arXiv:2606.08303v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper investigates a novel concept of time series geolocalization, where the goal is to infer the geographic origin of each raw time series. Successful geolocalization can provide spatial context to time series, enabling downstream location-aware applications. We formalize the problem, adapt core ideas from image geolocalization to establish strong baselines, and propose GeoGNN, a two-tower architecture. During training, GeoGNN's spatial tower learns embeddings of geographic cell candidates by leveraging the geographic adjacency graph, while
Advances in graph neural networks and the increasing availability of sophisticated time series data are enabling more precise geographical inferences from raw sensor information.
Precise time series geo-localization can enhance situational awareness for various applications, from environmental monitoring to logistics and defense, by adding a crucial spatial context to temporal data.
The ability to accurately derive geographic origin from raw time series data without explicit location tags opens new possibilities for data analysis and real-world applications across multiple sectors.
