Abstract: The present invention relates to a technique for optimizing off-line facial feature tracking. Facial features in a sequence of image frames are automatically tracked while a visual indication is presented of the plurality of tracking node locations on the respective image frames. The sequence of image frames may be manually paused at a particular image frame in the sequence of image frames if the visual indication of the tracking node locations indicates that at least one location of a tracking node for a respective facial feature is not adequately tracking the respective facial feature. The location of the tracking node may be reinitialized by manually placing the tracking node location at a position on the particular image frame in the monitor window that corresponds to the respective facial feature. Automatic tracking of the facial feature may be continued based on the reinitialized tracking node location.

Abstract: A visual query is received from a client system, along with location information for the client system, and processed by a server system. The server system sends the visual query and the location information to a visual query search system, and receives from the visual query search system enhanced location information based on the visual query and the location information. The server system then sends a search query, including the enhanced location information, to a location-based search system. The search system receives and provides to the client one or more search results to the client system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling media data capture based on a real-world user experience is described herein. According to embodiments of the invention, media data is captured by a mobile computing device and transmitted to a server computer system in response to identifying one or more events from sensor data. The server computer system adds the captured media data, along with data identifying the event that initiated the capture of the media data, to a history of real-world experiences of a user of the mobile computing device. The server computer system may further perform one or more recognition processes on the captured media data and, when the one or more recognition processes find a match, associate the recognized items to the captured media data.

A set of detected faces from a digital image collection is stored in a facial image database, along with data pertaining to them. At least one facial recognition template for each face in the first set is computed, and the images in the set are grouped according to the facial recognition template into similarity groups. Another embodiment is a naming tool for assigning names to a plurality of faces detected in a digital image collection. A facial image database stores data pertaining to facial images detected in images of a digital image collection. In addition, the naming tool may include a graphical user interface, a face detection module that detects faces in images of the digital image collection and stores data pertaining to the detected faces in the facial image database, a face recognition module that computes at least one facial recognition template for each facial image in the facial image database, and a similarity grouping module that groups facial images in the facial image database according to the respective templates such that similar facial images belong to one similarity group.

Abstract: An increasing number of mobile telephones and computers are being equipped with a camera. Thus, instead of simple text strings, it is also possible to send images as queries to search engines or databases. Moreover, advances in image recognition allow a greater degree of automated recognition of objects, strings of letters, or symbols in digital images. This makes it possible to convert the graphical information into a symbolic format, for example, plain text, in order to then access information about the object shown.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for surfacing content during a photo sharing process is described. The method may include detecting the initiation of a social networking photo sharing process for a digital image. The method may also include transmitting digital image data corresponding to the digital image to a content surfacing server to locate content relevant to the digital image. The method may also include receiving one or more items of data relevant to the digital image from the content surfacing server. Furthermore, the method may include presenting a notification, before the digital image is uploaded to a social networking system by the social networking photo sharing process, to a user to indicate that content relevant to the digital image has been received.
