    Abstract: A camera is used to capture image data of representations of a physical environment. Planes and surfaces are determined from a representation. The planes and the surfaces are analyzed using relationships there between to obtain shapes and depth information for available spaces within the physical environment. Locations of the camera with respect to the physical environment are determined. The shapes and the depth information are analyzed using a trained neural network to determine items fitting the available spaces. A live camera view is overlaid with a selection from the items to provide an augmented reality (AR) view of the physical environment from an individual location of the locations. The AR view is enabled so that a user can port to a different location than the individual location by an input received to the AR view while the selection from the items remains anchored to the individual location.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and method for visual search and augmented reality, in which an onscreen body of visual markers overlayed on the interface signals the current state of an image recognition process. Specifically, the body of visual markers may take on a plurality of behaviors, in which a particular behavior is indicative of a particular state. Thus, the user can tell what the current state of the scanning process is by the behavior of the body of visual markers. The behavior of the body of visual markers may also indicate to the user recommended actions that can be taken to improve the scanning condition or otherwise facilitate the process. In various embodiments, as the scanning process goes from one state to another state, the onscreen body of visual markers may move or seamlessly transition from one behavior to another behavior, accordingly.

    Abstract: Image data and position and orientation data collected by a computing device can be aggregated to create enhanced videos. One example of an enhanced video is a panoramic video generated from a single video camera having a standard field of view. Enhanced videos can also be created to have a display resolution that is greater than is capable of being recorded by at least one video camera of the computing device providing input to the computing device. Enhanced videos can also be streamed live to a viewer, and the viewer can change the perspective of the streamed video or auto-center and auto-focus on a specified location or object in the streamed video.

    Abstract: Visual effects for element of interest can be displayed within a live camera view in real time or substantially using a processing pipeline that does not immediately display an acquired image until it has been updated with the effects. In various embodiments, software-based approaches, such as fast convolution algorithms, and/or hardware-based approaches, such as using a graphics processing unit (GPU), can be used reduce the time between acquiring an image and displaying the image with various visual effects. These visual effects can include automatically highlighting elements, augmenting the color, style, and/or size of elements, casting a shadow on elements, erasing elements, substituting elements, or shaking and jumbling elements, among other effects.

    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.
