Abstract: In one aspect, one or more computing devices receive a set of image frames. Each image frame includes pixels. The computing devices align image frames in order to identify flows of the pixels in the set of image frames. Regions of bokeh effect are identified in each image frame by measuring the sizes of areas of expansion across image frames using a set of assumptions and the identified flows. The computing devices adjust the alignment of the set of image frames based at least in part on the identified regions of bokeh effect. For each image frame, the computing devices generates an index map of focus values for each of the pixels that image frame using the improved alignment. A depth map is generated by the computing devices based at least in part on the index maps.

Abstract: Systems and methods for aligning ground based images of a geographic area taken from a perspective at or near ground level and a set of aerial images taken from, for instance, an oblique perspective, are provided. More specifically, candidate aerial imagery can be identified for alignment with the ground based image. Geometric data associated with the ground based image can be obtained and used to warp the ground based image to a perspective associated with the candidate aerial imagery. One or more feature matches between the warped image and the candidate aerial imagery can then be identified using a feature matching technique. The matched features can be used to align the ground based image with the candidate aerial imagery.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to providing a user with an image navigation experience. In order to do so, a reference image may be identified. A set of potential target images for the reference image may also be identified. An area of the reference image is identified. For each particular image of the set of potential target images an associated cost for the identified area is determined based at least in part on a cost function for transitioning between the reference image and the particular target image. A target image is selected for association with the identified area based on the determined associated cost functions.

In some aspects, a first image is provided for display, where the first image corresponds to a first image node within an imagery graph, where the imagery graph comprises image nodes corresponding to images from a plurality of different imagery types, and where each image node in the imagery graph is associated with geospatial data. An indication of a selection of a predetermined region within the first image is received, where the predetermined region is associated with a position in the first image that corresponds to geospatial data associated a second image node within the imagery graph. A second image corresponding to the second image node is provided for display in response to the indication of the selection of the predetermined region.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to generating a composite image of an image of and another image that has a wider field of view. After an image is selected, the visual features in the image may be identified. Several images, such as panoramas, which have wider fields of view than an image captured by a camera, may be selected according to a comparison of the visual features in the image and the visual features of the larger images. The image may be aligned with each of the larger images, and at least one of these smaller-larger image pairs may be generated as a composite image.

Abstract: An exemplary method for navigating among photos includes determining, using one or more computing devices, visual characteristics of a person depicted in a first image associated with a first location. These visual characteristics of the person are detected in a second image associated with a second location. Using the one or more computing devices, a series of intermediate images are identified based on the first location and the second location. Each intermediate image is associated with a location. The series of intermediate images and the second image are provided. Images of an intermediate destination from the series of intermediate images are selected based on a density of images at the intermediate destination. A 3D reconstruction of the intermediate destination is then generated based on the selected images. Thereafter, a visual presentation of images traversing through the 3D reconstruction of the intermediate destination to the second image is prepared for display.

Abstract: The aspects described herein include receiving a request for available images depicting a user. One or more time and location indicators indicating one or more locations visited by the user are determined. Based on at least in part the one or more time and location indicators, a set of candidate images may be identified. The set of candidate images depict one or more locations at a time corresponding to at least one of the time indicators. Pose data related to the user may be obtained based on the location indicators. The pose data indicates a position and orientation of the user during a visit at a given location depicted in the set of candidate images. One or more images from the set of candidate images may be selected based on the pose data and the 3D reconstruction. The selected images include at least a partial view of the user.
