Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate generally to ranking geographic locations based on perceived user interest. More specifically, a database of three-dimensional models of buildings or other architectural features may be used to determine the level of user interest in a particular location and accordingly rank, for example, geographic locations or web or map search results with local intent. For example, various signals such as the number of models created by users for a particular location, the number of clicks or requests for the models of the particular location, the number of POIs contained within or associated with the models associated with the particular geographic location, number of categories associated with a model associated with the geographic location, number of embedded views or views of the models associated with the particular location on other web sites, and the age of the models associated with the particular geographic location.

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: In one aspect, a computer-implemented method for updating online business listings includes providing access to an email account associated with a business entity and receiving an indication of a change in a signature block associated with the email account. The signature block may include business data related to the business entity. The method may also include accessing a business listing database to determine whether a pre-existing online listing is available for the business entity and, if a pre-existing online listing is available for the business entity, comparing the business data contained within the signature block to pre-existing business data included within the pre-existing online listing. In addition, the method may include determining whether to update the pre-existing online listing based on any differences between the business data and the preexisting business data.
