  • Patent number: 9804748
    Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting information in response to a user interaction with a geographic image at a point of query in a geographic information system are provided. A user can request information at point of query in the geographic image. Responsive to the user request, the geographic information system can search for and obtain information associated with the request. As part of the logic used to return information responsive to a request at a point of query, a zone of influence can be defined for one or more features depicted in the image. The zone of influence can be defined by a pixel threshold in a pixel space associated with the geographic image. The pixel threshold can be constant across a plurality of zoom levels of the geographic image.

  • Publication number: 20170039264
    Abstract: The technology relates to determining a description of a geographic area. One or more computing devices may receive a set of images, wherein each image includes data associated with geolocation data and labels describing the contents of the images. Each image in the set of images may be assigned to one or more buckets corresponding to a geographic area based at least in part on the geolocation information. Based on an inquiry identifying one or more geolocations, a set of one or more buckets that are associated with geographic areas that cover the one or more geolocations may be determined. Labels associated with the images assigned to the set of buckets may be identified and a description of the one or more geolocations may be generated. The description may be provided in response to the request.
