    摘要: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates automatically producing an enhanced schematic destination map to provide directions to a destination related to geography. An interface component can receive at least one geographic destination. A map generator can automatically create an enhanced schematic destination map utilizing a hierarchy of road sets to provide at least one route including at least one road to the geographic destination.

    摘要: The claimed subject matter can provide an architecture that facilitates producing a single image that can visualize a scene too large to depict from any single perspective view. These images can be stitched together on a 2-dimensional picture surface to form a multi-perspective image of the entire extent of the scene depicted by the input images. Where the respective images overlap, an objective function can be employed to determine where to make a transition between one image and the next. The objective function can employ a data cost and a seam cost to make this determination.

    摘要: Systems and methods comprising a general purpose framework to facilitate automated layout are provided. Such systems and methods can be utilized to automatically generate visual content over a wide range of domains. One example of a framework comprises a set of general purpose layout components adjustable to a plurality of domains. The general purpose layout components facilitate the automated arrangement of visual elements according to a plurality of style rules. One example of a method performed utilizing one or more elements of a general purpose adaptable layout framework comprises quantifying at least one aesthetic quality of a depiction in relation to one or more non-mandatory objectives to produce a quantified aesthetic quality, and automatically optimizing the quantified aesthetic quality to produce an enhanced depiction.

    摘要: A “Concatenative Synthesizer” applies concatenative synthesis to create a musical output from a database of musical notes and an input musical score (such as a MIDI score or other computer readable musical score format). In various embodiments, the musical output is either a music score, or an analog or digital audio file. This musical output is constructed by evaluating the database of musical notes to identify sets of candidate notes for each note of the input musical score. An “optimal path” through candidate notes is identified by minimizing an overall cost function through the candidate notes relative to the input musical score. The musical output is then constructed by concatenating the selected candidate notes. In further embodiments, the database of musical notes is generated from any desired musical genre, performer, performance, or instrument. Furthermore, notes in the database may be modified to better fit notes of the input musical score.

    摘要: A system and method for making computer-generated maps includes a different scale factor for each road in a route. The scale factors are used to optimize the route map against a target function that considers factors such as the number of false intersections in the route and the number of roads falling below a minimum length threshold. A refinement technique such as simulated annealing is used to find a solution to the target function. Each road in the scaled map is rendered to provide a finished product having the appearance of a hand-drawn map. The finished product includes context roads that intersect the main route but are not part of the main route. Furthermore, the hand-drawn map is optimized to the characteristics of the viewport used to visualize the map.

    摘要: Alphanumeric input is achieved using a handset having a limited number of controls but at least two controls—a first control and a second control. A key layout is rendered on a display. The key layout includes two parts—a first part and a second part. One of the two controls of the handset is associated with one of the two parts of the key layout such that characters within that part are selected with the one control. Likewise, the other of the two controls is associated with the other of the two parts of the key layout such that characters within the other part are selected with the other control.
