  • Patent number: 9529803
    Abstract: In one aspect, a request to alter a first image is received. The request includes a portion of the first image that is provided for display with a second image. The second image is associated with three-dimensional (3D) geometry data for an object depicted in both the first and second images and date information identifying when the second image was captured. Input identifying an area of the second image is received. A third image is identified based on the date information of the third image and the second image. The third image is associated with 3D geometry data for the object. An area of the third image is determined based on the 3D geometry data of the second image, the 3D geometry data of the second image, and the area of the second image. Information identifying the area of the third image is provided for display with the third image.

  • Patent number: 9390175
    Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and computer program products for determining operating hours of entities from user check-ins and check-outs. A method for determination operating hours may include obtaining check-in and check-out data for an entity having operating hours, aggregating the check-in and check-out data over an aggregation period, and determining a start time and an end time of the operating hours of the entity. The method may include aggregating the check-in and check-out data over multiple aggregation periods and determining operating hours for different aggregation periods.
