1. A system for determining whether an unclassified visual media file depicts a vortex comprising:
a visual media file database comprising a first visual media file and second visual media file;
a first graphics recognition algorithm configured to determine:
a first graphic property of the first visual media file;
a second graphic property of the second visual media file;
a third graphic property of the unclassified visual media file;
a graphic property manager configured to save the first graphic property and second graphic property;
an element profile generator configured to generate an element similarity profile of the first graphic property and second graphic property; and
a visual media classifier configured to:
classify the unclassified visual media file as depicting or not depicting a vortex by using the element similarity profile and the third graphic property of the unclassified visual media file; and
determine a probability that a travelling object passed through the field of view of the media collector at a first time based on the vortex similarity ratio.
