Abstract:
Map data for generating a digital map of a geographic area is received, the digital map is generated using the received map data, and the digital map is displayed via a user interface. An interactive runway of photographic images corresponding to objects located within the geographic area is generated, the runway being a linear arrangement of the photographic images. Generating the runway includes rating each of the candidate photographic images corresponding to objects located within the within the geographic area using viewing signals related to at least one of the photographic image or an object depicted in the photographic image, and selecting, from among the candidate photographic images, the photographic images for inclusion in the interactive runway, using the rating. The interactive runway is displayed over the digital map.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for navigating an imagery graph are provided. In some aspects, a first image is provided for display, where the first image corresponds to a first image node within an imagery graph, where the imagery graph comprises image nodes corresponding to images from a plurality of different imagery types, and where each image node in the imagery graph is associated with geospatial data. An indication of a selection of a predetermined region within the first image is received, where the predetermined region is associated with a position in the first image that corresponds to geospatial data associated a second image node within the imagery graph. A second image corresponding to the second image node is provided for display in response to the indication of the selection of the predetermined region.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for browsing images of points of interest (POIs) are provided. Indication of selection of POI from among multiple POIs is received. Image graph associated with POI is identified. Image graph includes multiple images of POI. Tour path for POI is defined within image graph. Specific image from tour path defined within image graph is provided for display. Previous image and next image relative to specific image along tour path defined within image graph are determined. First set of additional images from image graph based on specific image is determined. First set of additional images corresponds to set of images in image graph proximate to specific image. Link to previous image or next image, and link to each member of first set of additional images for display with specific image are provided.

Abstract:
To obtain imagery geographically related to a user-selected image, a selection of an image being displayed via a user interface of a software application is received. The selected image depicts an identifiable geographic entity. At least metadata associated with the image is sent to a group of one or more servers via a communication network. A set of images of the geographic entity depicted in the selected image and generally matching a pose of the selected image are received, where the pose defines at least a camera location and an orientation of the camera with respect to the depicted geographic entity. Navigation and display of the images via a second software application, that operates independently of the first software application, are provided.
