The Obolon Brewery is one of the most famous breweries in Ukraine, located in Kyiv on Bogatyrska Street. By analyzing panoramic images and using geolocation tools, it is possible to accurately determine the location of this facility.
Before us is a wide highway with three lanes of traffic in each direction, separated by a green strip with a lawn (Figure 7.1).
In the background of the frame, a large industrial facility consisting of white buildings can be seen, as well as a building with a prominent red logo (Figure 7.2). This indicates that the location of the shooting is near a factory or factory located next to an important transport artery. Also noticeable is a characteristic building with an advertising banner, presumably with the name of the enterprise.
Since the image contains recognizable architectural elements, it was decided to use Google Lens to determine the location (Fig. 7.3). After uploading the photo, the algorithm produced results, among which was the Obolon plant, which is confirmed by a UNIAN source (Fig. 7.4).
For final confirmation, we open Google Maps in satellite mode and find the Obolon plant. Comparing the location of the buildings, we can see that the image and the map are completely consistent: not only the structures and the building with the red logo match, but also the green dividing strip and the traffic pattern.
The final stage of verification was the use of panoramic images in Google Street View, which allowed us to determine the exact point of shooting (Figure 7.4).

The analysis allowed us to accurately identify the location of the depicted object. Thanks to the consistent use of Google Lens, Google Maps and Google Street View, we were able to confirm that the location of the shooting is located near the Obolon plant in Kyiv.
