    Abstract: Visual incongruity in search result sets may be reduced at least in part by searching an optimized visually significant subset of a category tree that categorizes a collection of content. The category tree may be optimized at build time at least in part by pruning with respect to visual coherence and by the size of the content collection subset referenced by particular categories. Content collection subset sizes both too large and too small can detract from the visual significance of a particular category. The visually significant subset of the category tree may be further optimized at query time by intersecting the visually significant subset with the query-associated sub-tree(s) and further pruning categories in the visually significant subset that have child categories in the visually significant subset. Searching with respect to the optimized visually significant subset can also improve search efficiency.

    Abstract translation: 搜索结果集中的视觉不协调可以至少部分地通过搜索对内容集合进行分类的类别树的优化的视觉上重要的子集来减少。 类别树可以在构建时间至少部分地通过针对视觉一致性的修剪以及由特定类别引用的内容收集子集的大小进行优化。 内容收集子集大小太大和太小可能会降低特定类别的视觉含义。 可以在查询时间通过将视觉上有意义的子集与查询关联的子树相交并在视觉上有意义的子集中进一步修剪在视觉上有意义的子集中具有子类别的视觉上重要子集中的类别,来进一步优化类别树的视觉上重要的子集 。 关于优化的视觉显着子集的搜索也可以提高搜索效率。

    Abstract: Systems and methods track one or more points between images. A point for tracking may be selected, at least in part, on a determination of how discriminable the point is relative to other points in a region containing the point. A point of an image being tracked may be located in another image by matching a patch containing the point with another patch of the other image. A search for a matching patch may be focused in a region that is determined based at least in part on an estimate of movement of the point between images. Points may be tracked across multiple images. If an ability to track one or more points is lost, information about the points being tracked may be used to relocate the points in another image.

    Abstract: Shape-based search of a collection of content associated with one or more images of inventory items (“inventory images”) is enabled at least in part by associating the collection of content and/or its associated inventory images with representative refinement shapes. Inventory items may be grouped into categories and at least one refinement shape may be created for each of the categories. A refinement-shape hierarchy may be created by arranging the refinement shapes into parent and child refinement shapes. Inventory images may be associated to at least one of the refinement shapes of the refinement-shape hierarchy based at least in part on similarities between the refinement shapes and shapes of the inventory items reflected in the inventory images.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, system, and a computer program product for delivering content to a communication device, in response to an image sent by the communication device. The received image is matched with a plurality of images, and, when a match is found for the received image, content corresponding to the image is delivered to the communication device. The plurality of images is stored in an image database, and the corresponding content is stored in a content repository. The present invention enables a content provider to automatically update the image database and the content repository without any human intervention.

    Abstract: Image-based searching for information on a network is provided in response to an image query sent by a user. The image query includes an image captured using a mobile communications device with a camera. The image is processed to detect any text present in the image, and any detected text can be analyzed using a process such as optical character recognition (OCR). The analyzed text is used to search for matches in at least one corresponding domain database, selected from various domain databases present in the network. Thereafter, one or more selected matches and any additional related information can be sent to the user as one or more results for the submitted image query.

    Abstract: Intelligent services are provided in a storage network using intelligent service modules that can be cabled to a switch external to the switch chassis and yet be managed as part of the switch's logical domain. Data and management communications between the intelligent service module and the core switch are provided through a “soft-backplane” implemented using in-band communications through cabling attached between the switch and the intelligent service module rather than through hardwired backplane within the chassis. Management communications from management software is directed to the switch, which handles the management functions relating to the intelligent service module or forwards the management requests to the intelligent service module for processing.

    Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment, a system includes a social media tag-cloud generator. The social media tag-cloud generator obtains a user's social media feed and generates a topic tag cloud. The topic tag cloud includes a weighted key term representing a topic that occurs in the user's social media feed. A media-content source module obtains a first metadata about a first media-content episode. The media-content source module obtains a second metadata about a second media-content episode. The first metadata includes information to identify the first media content episode and to locate the first media content episode in a computer network. The second metadata includes information to identify the second media content episode and to locate the second media content episode in the computer network. A media-content scoring module determines a first score for the first media-content episode. The first score includes a first value judgment based on the weighted key term.
