    Abstract: Systems and methods for encoding location-based reminders are provided. Data indicative of a request for a location-based reminder can be received. The data indicative of the request can include data indicative of a user placement of a reminder in a visual representation of the geographic area, such as an image captured of the geographic area or a visual representation of the three-dimensional model of the geographic area. A selected location within a three-dimensional model of a geographic area can be identified based on the data indicative of the user placement of the reminder. Three-dimensional geographic coordinates corresponding to the selected location can be determined using the three-dimensional model and associated with the location-based reminder. The location-based reminder can then be triggered based at least in part on signals indicative of user position and/or orientation in the geographic area.

    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for simulating different types of camera lens on a device by guiding a user through a set of images to be captured in connection with one or more desired lens effects. In one aspect, a wide-angle lens may be simulated by taking a plurality of images that have been taken at a particular location over a set of camera orientations that are determined based on the selection of the wide-angle lens. The mobile device may provide prompts to the user indicating the camera orientations for which images should be captured in order to generate the simulated camera lens effect.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to adding or correcting orientation and/or location information for panoramic images. For example, some panoramic images may be associated with inaccurate orientation (or location) information or simply no orientation information at all. In this regard, a user may be provided with the ability to add or adjust the orientation of a panoramic image. The panoramic image can be projected onto a plane using stereographic projection and displayed relative to its location (and orientation, if available) on a map. This can allow a user to quickly identify inaccuracies and to make adjustments or corrections.

    Abstract translation: 本公开的方面通常涉及添加或修正全景图像的取向和/或位置信息。 例如,一些全景图像可能与不准确的方向(或位置)信息或根本没有方向信息相关联。 在这方面,可以向用户提供添加或调整全景图像的取向的能力。 全景图像可以使用立体投影投影到平面上,并相对于其位置(和方向(如果可用))在地图上显示。 这可以允许用户快速识别不准确并进行调整或更正。

    Abstract: In an exemplary method, a request for images of a location is received. In response to the request, a set of images depicting different conditions at the location is identified. Each image of the set of images is associated with condition information defining the conditions depicted in that image. It may be determined when a user will be at the location at a future point in time. Information identifying current environmental conditions at the location for the future point in time may be received. The set of images are ranked based on the received environmental information and the condition information for each image. An image from the set of images is selected for display based on the selected image's rank relative to other images of the set of images. The selected image depicts current conditions at the location most closely matching environmental conditions expected at the future point in time.

    Abstract: Implementations relate to detecting spherical images. In some implementations, a computer-executed method includes obtaining an image, examining at least one characteristic of the image, and determining that the image is a spherical image based on the at least one examined characteristic. The method modifies metadata associated with the image to designate the image for spherical display.
