Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining a geocode for an image based on user-provided search queries and corresponding user selections are provided. One example method includes determining a selection value for each of a plurality of search strings associated with an image based at least in part on user selection data. The method includes generating a textual document for the image based at least in part on the selection values. The textual document includes one or more of the plurality of search strings. The method includes identifying a plurality of geographic entities by analyzing the textual document using a textual processor. The method includes selecting one of the plurality of geographic entities as a primary geographic entity and associating, by the one or more computing devices, a geocode associated with the primary geographic entity with the image.
Abstract:
A system and computer implemented method for detecting the location of a mobile device using semantic indicators is provided. The method includes receiving, using one or more processors, a plurality of images captured by a mobile device at an area. The area is associated with a set of candidate locations. Using the one or more processors, one or more feature indicators associated with the plurality of images are detected. These feature indicators include semantic features related to the area. The semantic features are compared with a plurality of stored location features for the set of candidate locations. In accordance with the comparison, a location from the set of candidate locations is selected to identify an estimated position of the mobile device.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for the processing of images are provided. In particular, a candidate image can be obtained for processing. The candidate image can have one or more associated image categorization parameters. One or more pixel groups can then be detected in the candidate image and the one or more pixel groups can be associated with semantic data. At least one reference image can then be identified based at least in part on the semantic data of the one or more pixel groups. Once the at least one reference image has been identified, a plurality of adjustment parameters can be determined. One or more pixel groups from the candidate image can then be processed to generate a processed image based at least in part on the plurality of adjustment parameters.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for transitioning an interface to a related image are provided. A method for transitioning an interface to a related image may include receiving information describing a homography between a first image and a second image, and adjusting the interface to present the second image at one or more transition intervals in a transition period until the second image is fully displayed and the first image is no longer visible. The interface may be adjusted by determining, based on the homography, a region of the second image to overlay onto a corresponding area of the first image, blending the determined region with the corresponding area to reduce visible seams occurring between the first image and the second image, and updating the interface by gradually decreasing visual intensity of the first image while gradually and proportionally increasing visual intensity of the second image.
Abstract:
A system and machine-implemented method for providing image content corresponding to a business establishment is provided. Several webpages corresponding to a business establishment are received, and one or more webpages are selected from the several webpages, based on the content of each of the several webpages. At least one webpage related to the selected one or more webpages is retrieved. Image content is extracted from the retrieved at least one webpage. At least one annotation is generated for the extracted image content based on at least one characteristic of the extracted image content. The image content is filtered based on the generated at least one annotation for the extracted image content. The filtered image content is provided for display.

Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to systems and methods for geographically locating images. For example, images from different sources may be associated with different types of location information or simply none at all. In order to reduce inconsistency among images, location information may be gathered for an image using bitmap processing, metadata processing, and information retrieved from where the image was found. This location information can be filtered to remove less reliable or conflicting information. Images may be clustered based on their appearance on an interactive online resource that corresponds to a user-defined event, based on image similarity, and by their appearance in a user photo album. The location information of the images of a cluster is then copied to all of the other images of that cluster.
