Abstract: Embodiments relate to selecting textures for a user-supplied photographic image in image-based three-dimensional modeling. In a first embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes a method for inputting a user-supplied photographic image that uses a photogrammetry algorithm to adjust a plurality of camera parameters for the user-supplied photographic image. In the method, a user-supplied photographic image inputted by a user is received. A set of geographic characteristics inputted by the user that correspond to a geographic location of a camera that took the user-supplied photographic image is received. A plurality of camera parameters that correspond to the geographic location of the camera that took the user-supplied photographic image is determined. The user-supplied photographic image to be texture mapped to the three-dimensional model is enabled.

Abstract: Systems and methods for 3D shape retrieval are described herein. An embodiment includes obtaining a query 3D model, determining a similarity between the query 3D model and one or more 3D models based on a plurality of features of the query 3D model and corresponding features of the one or more 3D models, retrieving one or more similar 3D models based on the determining step and ranking the one or more similar 3D models based on the similarity. The embodiment further includes computing a feature distance between the query 3D model and the one or more 3D models for each feature, from a first set of features, associated with the query 3D model and the one or more 3D models and evaluating a first composite distance function using each feature distance. Another embodiment includes constructing a retrieval structure using each of the one or more 3D models for each feature associated with the one or more 3D models and searching the retrieval structure, for each feature, to determine 3D models similar to the query 3D model.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to selecting textures for a panoramic photographic image in image-based three-dimensional modeling. In a first embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes a method for inputting a panoramic photographic image that uses a photogrammetry algorithm to adjust a plurality of camera parameters for the panoramic photographic image. In the method, a street-level panoramic photographic image is selected by a user from a street-level panoramic image display site. An area of the street-level panoramic image is also identified by the user. A photographic image at the area of the street-level panoramic image is captured. Camera parameters representing a camera that took the photographic image is determined. A position on the photographic image is mapped to a position on a three-dimensional model. The camera parameters are adjusted so that the three-dimensional model is rendered onto the photographic image from a perspective specified by the adjusted camera parameters.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate generally determining user interests and providing relevant information based on user interaction with 3D models. More specifically, a when a user interacts with a 3D model of an object, for example on a map or from a database of models, the user's view of the object along with the location of the interaction (or where the user clicked on the object) may be transmitted to a server. In response, based on the view and location of the click, the server identifies relevant content and transmits it to the user.
