  • Patent number: 10297084
    Abstract: In one aspect, a hand-held device is provided with a display, camera, motion detector and processor. The processor receives a sequence of images from the camera, the relative distance to the object based on the parallax associated with two or more images of the sequence and the motion of the camera is determined, and the image is augmented and displayed based on the relative distances.

  • Patent number: 10210181
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for searching within images. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a query from a user device; receiving a query image from the user device; identifying a result image responsive to the query; determining that an object depicted in a sub-portion of the query image is similar to the result image; and in response to determining that the object depicted in the sub-portion of the query image is similar to the result image: providing annotation data to the user device that causes the user device to display an annotation with the query image, the annotation specifying the sub-portion of the query image that includes the object that is similar to the result image.
