    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: Various embodiments provide a user with a capability to customize multiple image data stores, where each data store can be used to provide content tailored to different users having different interests, setting, or notification demands. For example, users can submit images and modify processing parameters to tune an image matching system to their, or their customer's, individual desires. Accordingly, content can be delivered to a computing device in response to a query image sent by the computing device to a matching system containing the customized image data stores. The delivered content can be related to, or derived from, an image in a respective data store that matches the provided query image.

    Abstract: Various embodiments may obtain an image representation of an object for use in image matching and content retrieval. For example, an image matching system processes video content items to determine one or more scenes for one or more video content items. The image matching system can extract, from at least one video frame for a scene, feature descriptors relating to one or more objects represented in the at least one video frame. The image matching system indexes the feature descriptors into a feature index storing information for each of the feature descriptors and respective corresponding video frame. The image matching system correlates the feature descriptors of the feature index to determine one or more groups having similar feature descriptors. The image matching system indexes the one or more groups into a correlation index storing information for each of the one or more groups and respective corresponding feature descriptors.

    Abstract: A computing device can determine visual words for images in a first set of images associated with a description that includes a term. Each visual word can describe pixels in an image. The device can determine visual words for images in a second set of images that are associated with a description that does not include the term. The device can determine a set of visual words that are associated with the term. The device can determine regions in images corresponding to visual words in the set of visual words. The device can associate the respective determined regions for the images with the term in a database. When a search query is received that includes an image that is determined to be associated with the term, the database can be utilized to determine images responsive to the query by identifying images that are also associated with the term.

    Abstract: Visual incongruity in search result sets may be reduced at least in part by searching an optimized visually significant subset of a category tree that categorizes a collection of content. The category tree may be optimized at build time at least in part by pruning with respect to visual coherence and by the size of the content collection subset referenced by particular categories. Content collection subset sizes both too large and too small can detract from the visual significance of a particular category. The visually significant subset of the category tree may be further optimized at query time by intersecting the visually significant subset with the query-associated sub-tree(s) and further pruning categories in the visually significant subset that have child categories in the visually significant subset. Searching with respect to the optimized visually significant subset can also improve search efficiency.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for detection of cast members in video content such as movies, television shows, and other programs. Data indicating cast members who appear in a video program is obtained. Each cast member is associated with a reference image depicting a face of the cast member. A frame is obtained from the video program, and a face is detected in the frame. The detected face in the frame is recognized as being a particular cast member based at least in part on the reference image depicting the cast member. An association between the cast member and the frame is generated in response to the detected face in the frame being recognized as the cast member.

    Abstract: Subjective user-generated data can be utilized to determine visually similar items. Various item descriptors can be determined for a pair of items, which can provide an objective measure of visual aspects of those items, such as how similar those items are in color, style, material, or texture. The ways in which users interact with data for those items, either explicitly or implicitly through user behavior, can provide a level of perceived visual similarity on behalf of these users. The perceived, subjective visual similarity data from the users can be used to adjust a weighting of the various item descriptor factors for a pair of items, or otherwise adjust a visual similarity score, such that items selected as being visually similar more accurately reflect the subjective opinions of the users.

    Abstract: Various embodiments provide for the generation of 3D models of objects. For example, depth data and color image data can be captured from viewpoints around an object using a sensor. A camera having a higher resolution can simultaneously capture image data of the object. Features between images captured by the image sensor and the camera can be extracted and compared to determine a mapping between the camera and the image. Once the mapping between the camera and the image sensor is determined, a second mapping between adjacent viewpoints can be determined for each image around the object. In this example, each viewpoint overlaps with an adjacent viewpoint and features extracted from two overlapping viewpoints are matched to determine their relative alignment. Accordingly, a 3D point cloud can be generated and the images captured by the camera can be projected on the surface of the 3D point cloud to generate the 3D model.
