Abstract:
A computer-implemented method includes capturing an original image. In the original image, a plurality of potential pickup locations are identified. Each potential pickup location of the plurality of potential pickup locations is associated with a respective metadata set of a plurality of metadata sets. An annotated image is generated based on the original image, where the annotated image indicates the plurality of potential pickup locations and the respective metadata set associated with each potential pickup location. A selection of a pickup location, from among the plurality of potential pickup locations, is received. The pickup location is transmitted to a remote server to facilitate a ride beginning at the pickup location.
