In one aspect, a method for automatically adjusting temporal creation data for a plurality of images is disclosed. The method may generally include receiving a plurality of image files associated with the plurality of images, wherein each of the plurality of image files includes an initial creation time. In addition, the method may include determining a baseline creation time by analyzing the plurality of image files based on their association with at least one of daytime hours or nighttime hours and adjusting the initial creation time for at least one of the plurality of image files based on the baseline creation time.

The method of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of images files includes an initial creation time, the method further comprising: determining a baseline creation time by analyzing the plurality of image files based on their association with at least one of daytime hours or nighttime hours; andadjusting the initial creation time for at least one of the plurality of image files based on the baseline creation time. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein determining a baseline creation time by analyzing the plurality of image files based on their association with at least one of daytime hours or nighttime hours comprises: sorting the image files of at least one creation day group of the plurality of creation day groups into daytime image files and nighttime image files; andanalyzing at least one of the daytime image tiles or the nighttime image files to determine the baseline creation time. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein correlating the baseline creation date to a predetermined date value associated with the longest day of the year comprises determining an offset value for correlating the baseline creation date to the predetermined date value. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein adjusting the initial creation date of at least one of the plurality of image files based on the baseline creation date comprises adjusting the initial creation date of at least one of the plurality of image files based on the determined offset value. 8. A method for automatically adjusting temporal creation data for a plurality of images, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of image files associated with the plurality of images, each of the plurality of image files including an initial creation date;sorting the plurality of image files into a plurality of creation day groups based on the initial creation date of each of the plurality of image files;analyzing the image files associated with the plurality of creation day groups to obtain daytime length information for each of the plurality of creation day groups, the daytime length information associated with a sunset transition time and a sunrise transition time for each of the plurality of creation day groups;analyzing the sunset and sunrise transition times to determine an average day length for each of the plurality of creation day groups;determining a baseline creation date based on the daytime length information by analyzing the average day length for each of the plurality of creation day groups in order to determine a baseline creation date, the analysis of the average day length comprising: analyzing the average day length for each of the plurality of creation day groups to determine the creation day group with the shortest average day length;setting the initial creation date for the creation day group with the shortest average day length as the baseline creation date; andcorrelating the baseline creation date to a predetermined date value associated with the shortest day of the year; andadjusting the initial creation date of at least one of the plurality of image files based on the baseline creation date. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the initial creation date for each of the plurality of image files is generated by a single image capture device. 10.
