REVERSE: Reinforcing Evidence Verification and Search for Agentic Image geo-localization

ArXi:2605.26861v1 Announce Type: new Image geo-localization aims to determine where a photograph was taken, a task that often requires than recognizing visible landmarks. Human experts typically solve it through an iterative workflow: they inspect informative regions, form location hypotheses, seek external evidence, and revise their judgments as new clues appear.
