摘要： A video that advertises a particular web site may be a form of video spam. For example, pornographers often advertise their web sites by displaying a link to their web sites in videos, and then placing the videos on video-sharing services. This type of video spam may be detected by analyzing the video for the presence of text and then determining whether the text is a URL. If the text is a URL, the URL may be checked to determine whether it points to an objectionable web site. The determination of whether a URL points to an objectionable web site may be made by comparing the URL with a blacklist and/or whitelist, or by retrieving the URL and analyzing the retrieved content. If a video is found to be an advertisement for an objectionable web site, action may be taken, such as removing the video from a content database.

摘要翻译： 广告特定网站的视频可能是视频垃圾邮件的一种形式。 例如，色情作家经常通过在视频中显示他们的网站的链接来宣传他们的网站，然后将视频放在视频共享服务上。 这种类型的视频垃圾邮件可以通过分析视频来检测文本的存在，然后确定文本是否是URL。 如果文本是URL，则可以检查URL以确定它是否指向令人反感的网站。 可以通过将URL与黑名单和/或白名单进行比较，或通过检索URL并分析检索的内容来确定URL是否指向令人反感的网站。 如果发现视频是令人反感的网站的广告，则可以采取行动，例如从内容数据库中删除视频。

摘要： Businesses and other entities may be assigned geographic locations based on various types of data. In one example, entities are associated with segments in a street grid. Additionally, data points (e.g., geotagged blog entries or other online information) are associated with segments in the street grid. For a given segment, data points are compared with entities to identify possible matches between the data points and the entities. Each match is assigned a score, and each match represents a possible physical location for a given entity. The locations of entities on the street are assigned, from among the matches, based on which assignment of entities optimizes the aggregate score for the segment, while satisfying one or more physical constraints.

摘要： Textual information may be harvested from photos that are associated with a geographic location, and the text may be used to respond to searches. In one example, photos are taken from a vehicle that has a camera and a GPS receiver. Each of the photos is marked with the geographic location at which it was taken, and text is extracted from the photos. Thus, each piece of text is associated with a particular geographic location, and the association between text and location is stored in a database. At some point in time, a query is received from a user, where the query specifies or implies a geographic criterion. The database is then examined to determine what items in the database meet the textual and geographic constraints of the query, and those pieces of information may be provided as search results.

摘要： Visual images may be used to detect, or verify the existence of, landmarks. In one example, the landmarks may be used to provide driving or walking directions. A set of records may be examined to identify the street addresses of businesses or other entities. Additionally, street-level images may be captured with a camera, and the locations at which the images were captured may be recorded. The images may be evaluated with an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) process to determine what words appear in the images. The words in the image are compared with the names of entities whose addresses are near where the image was captured. If the words match the entity name, then a sign identifying the entity is presumed to be visible along a particular route, and the entity may be used as a landmark in a set of walking or driving directions.

摘要： Detecting text using stroke width based text detection. As a part of the text detection, a representation of an image is generated that includes pixels that are associated with the stroke widths of components of the image. Connected components of the image are identified by filtering out portions of the pixels using metrics related to stroke width. Text is detected in the image based on the identified connected components.

摘要： Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for, among other things, spatially-organizing images utilizing information about the orientation of each image for display on mobile devices are provided. A plurality of images of an object is captured from a variety of different orientations and each image and its associated respective orientation information are stored in an image file. Upon a device receiving an indication that displaying of the image file is desired, the device detects the orientation thereof and displays the image of the plurality of images that has orientation information associated therewith that most closely matches the orientation of the device. As the orientation of the device changes, the image that is displayed also changes, approximating for a user viewing the image file the experience of three-dimensional viewing of the object. Such image files may also be utilized in association with advertisements and as search queries.
