    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and method for visual search and augmented reality, in which an onscreen body of visual markers overlayed on the interface signals the current state of an image recognition process. Specifically, the body of visual markers may take on a plurality of behaviors, in which a particular behavior is indicative of a particular state. Thus, the user can tell what the current state of the scanning process is by the behavior of the body of visual markers. The behavior of the body of visual markers may also indicate to the user recommended actions that can be taken to improve the scanning condition or otherwise facilitate the process. In various embodiments, as the scanning process goes from one state to another state, the onscreen body of visual markers may move or seamlessly transition from one behavior to another behavior, accordingly.

    Abstract: An auxiliary device can be used to display a fiducial that contains information useful in determining the physical size of the fiducial as displayed on the auxiliary device. A primary device can capture image data including a representation of the fiducial. The scale and orientation of the fiducial can be determined, such that a graphical overlay can be generated of an item of interest that corresponds to that scale and orientation. The overlay can then be displayed along with the captured image data, in order to provide an augmented reality experience wherein the image displayed on the primary device represents a scale-appropriate view of the item in a location of interest corresponding to the location of the auxiliary device. As the primary device is moved and the viewpoint of the camera changes, changes in relative scale and orientation to the fiducial are determined and the overlay is updated accordingly.

    Abstract: Techniques for providing recommended keywords in response to an image-based query are disclosed herein. In particular, various embodiments utilize an image matching service to identify recommended search keywords associated with image data received from a user. The search keywords can be used to perform a keyword search to identify content associated with an image input that may be relevant. For example, an image search query can be received from a user. The image search query may result in multiple different types of content that are associated with the image. The system may present keywords associated with matching images to allow a user to further refine their search and/or find other related products that may not match with the particular image. This enables users to quickly refine a search using keywords that may be difficult to identify otherwise and to find the most relevant content for the user.

    Abstract: A music playlist may be generated based on images selected by a user on a computing device. For example, by using image classification and machine learning, image descriptors may automatically be associated with an image and the assigned image descriptors mapped to music descriptors associated with songs. Songs associated with the mapped music descriptors are identified and assembled in a playlist sent to the user's device. Additional images may be identified, for example based on the image descriptors of the selected images and the music descriptors, to identify images to display during playback of the playlist.
