    Abstract: An image or video of a location can be captured using an electronic device. A physical location associated with the image or video can be determined by analyzing the image data, and information about the physical location can be presented to a user of the electronic device. Images or video may include multiple locations, and information about each of the multiple locations can be presented to the user or a single location can be automatically determined and information about the single location can be displayed. Data from other sensors of the electronic device, such as GPS, digital compasses, accelerometers, gyroscopes, barometers, or altimeters, can also be acquired and combined with image analysis to determine a location. The information presented to the user regarding the recognized location may be based on user preferences or user behavior of the specific user of the electronic device, or a community of users who share demographic traits with the specific user.

    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a user with a capability to customize multiple image data stores, where each data store can be used to provide content tailored to different users having different interests, setting, or notification demands. For example, users can submit images and modify processing parameters to tune an image matching system to their, or their customer's, individual desires. Accordingly, content can be delivered to a computing device in response to a query image sent by the computing device to a matching system containing the customized image data stores. The delivered content can be related to, or derived from, an image in a respective data store that matches the provided query image.

    Abstract: Various embodiments enable a customer to quickly search additional information (e.g., product variations, sizes, price and availability) related to a specific product. For example, the customer can request additional information of a specific product by submitting an image of the specific product from a computing device. In one embodiment, location of the customer can be determined based on the image submitted by the customer. Product features can be extracted from the image according to various imaging processing and text recognition algorithms and then used to match products that are within view of the customer. A search results with additional information of the specific product can be provided to the computing device for presentation to the customer.

    Abstract translation: 各种实施例使客户能够快速搜索与特定产品相关的附加信息(例如,产品变化,尺寸,价格和可用性)。 例如,客户可以通过从计算设备提交特定产品的图像来请求特定产品的附加信息。 在一个实施例中,可以基于客户提交的图像来确定顾客的位置。 可以根据各种成像处理和文本识别算法从图像中提取产品特征,然后用于匹配客户视野内的产品。 可以向计算设备提供具有特定产品的附加信息的搜索结果以呈现给客户。

    Abstract: Various embodiments provide methods and systems for identifying text in an image by applying suitable text detection parameters in text detection. The suitable text detection parameters can be determined based on parameter metric feedback from one or more text identification subtasks, such as text detection, text recognition, preprocessing, character set mapping, pattern matching and validation. In some embodiments, the image can be defined into one or more image regions by performing glyph detection on the image. Text detection parameters applying to each of the one or more image regions can be adjusted based on measured one or more parameter metrics in the respective image region.

    Abstract translation: 各种实施例提供了通过在文本检测中应用合适的文本检测参数来识别图像中的文本的方法和系统。 可以基于来自一个或多个文本识别子任务的参数度量反馈(例如文本检测,文本识别,预处理,字符集映射,模式匹配和验证)来确定合适的文本检测参数。 在一些实施例中,可以通过对图像执行字形检测来将图像定义为一个或多个图像区域。 可以基于相应图像区域中测量的一个或多个参数度量来调整应用于一个或多个图像区域中的每一个的文本检测参数。

    Abstract: Various embodiments describe systems and methods enable a computing device of a user to capture an image of a gift card, or other such monetary device containing a code, with a camera or otherwise receive an image of that gift card. The computing device can be configured to recognize codes, such as digit claim codes, of the gift card by using one or more image processing, computer vision, and/or machine learning algorithms. After a successful detection and verification of a claim code, money or funds deposited in, or otherwise available from, an account associated with the gift card can be utilized, such as applied to a purchase or deposited into the user's account. In many instances, a user interface (UI) can be provided on the computing device for the user to use to capture an image of a gift card and redeem the funds from the corresponding card.

    Abstract: Various embodiments enable text aggregation from multiple image frames of text. Accordingly, in order to stitch newly scanned areas of a document together, text in a respective image is recognized and analyzed using an algorithm to identify pairs of corresponding words in other images. Upon identifying a minimum number of matching pairs between two respective images, a mapping between the same can be determined based at least in part on a geometric correspondence between respective identified pairs. Based on this mapping, the recognized text of the two images can be merged by adding words of one image to the other using the matching word pairs as alignment data points.

    Abstract translation: 各种实施例使得能够从文本的多个图像帧进行文本聚合。 因此,为了将文档的新扫描区域一起缝合,使用用于识别其他图像中的对应词对的算法来识别和分析各个图像中的文本。 在识别两个相应图像之间的匹配对的最小数量时,可以至少部分地基于相应的识别对之间的几何对应来确定相同之间的映射。 基于该映射,可以通过使用匹配词对作为对齐数据点将一个图像的单词添加到另一个图像来合并两个图像的识别文本。

    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.
