Abstract:
In one aspect, a system and method is provided that matches images that are associated with street addresses with images that are associated with locations that are stored with respect to another reference system, such as latitude/longitude. If the images match, the street address is associated with the location. In a further aspect, text contained in the images is extracted and associated with the street address as well.
Abstract:
Implementations relate to presenting search results to a user. In particular, disclosed techniques include presenting both image search results and 3D model search results to a user. The user can manipulate the 3D model depicted in the 3D model search results by rotating, translating or zooming. Implementations thus provide a rich synergistic exploration experience to the user.

Abstract:
Methods and systems for interacting with multiple three-dimensional (3D) object data models are provided. An example method may involve receiving a search query comprising a descriptor for an object that is associated with a given category of objects. The method may involve comparing the descriptor to contents of a three-dimensional (3D) object-data-model database that includes contents associated with the given category of objects. Based on the comparison, the method may involve generating a search query result that comprises 3D object data models that describe the object and associated images that describe the object. The method may also involve arranging the 3D object data models and associated images in the search query result in a manner such that the 3D object data models are moveable inline in the search query result, and providing the search query result.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for generating models of a wireless network environment in an indoor space which may be used to predict an indoor location. The disclosure relates to collecting wireless network access point identifier information and power level observed at various locations are collected to generate various signal maps. The signal maps may be used to generate models of the indoor space. In one example, a voting model may use a probability distribution of a plurality of signal maps in order to identify a location with a highest probability of overlap with current signals received at a client device. Once a location has been identified, it may be used to assist with any number of navigational functions, such as providing turn by turn directions to another indoor location, for example, a conference room or exit, or simply providing information about the current location.
Abstract:
Methods and systems permit automatic matching of videos with images from dense image-based geographic information systems. In some embodiments, video data including image frames is accessed. The video data may be segmented to determine a first image frame of a segment of the video data. Data representing information from the first image frame may be automatically compared with data representing information from a plurality of image frames of an image-based geographic information data system. Such a comparison may, for example, involve a search for a best match between geometric features, histograms, color data, texture data, etc. of the compared images. Based on the automatic comparing, an association between the video and one or more images of the image-based geographic information data system may be generated. The association may represent a geographic correlation between selected images of the system and the video data.
Abstract:
Initial trajectory data that provides an initial description of an approximate trajectory of a device during a time period, and correction data that indicates a location of the device outside the approximate trajectory of the device within the time period, are received. A modified trajectory data that provides a modified description of a corrected trajectory of the device is generated. In particular, terms to express (i) location constraints that limit deformation of the approximate trajectory of the device and (ii) a modification constraint that limits departure of the corrected trajectory of the device from the location indicated by the correction data are generated, and the initial description of the approximate trajectory of the device is modified using the generated terms.
Abstract:
Embodiments generally relate to summarizing a photo album. In one embodiment, a method includes grouping photos into a plurality of groups of photos, and selecting a plurality of representative photos, where each representative photo represents a respective group from the plurality of groups, where the selecting is based on a quality score of each of the photos, and where each quality score is based on different types of attributes. The method also includes providing the plurality of representative photos to a user.
