  • Patent number: 11500926
    Abstract: A system for multi-tier visual recognition comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to calculate a rank for each of a plurality of object models. The plurality of object models are used for visual recognition. Each of the plurality of object models has a size. The processor is configured to divide the plurality of object models into a plurality of sets based at least in part on the rank for each of the plurality of object models, and provide a first set of the plurality of sets to a first tier and a second set of the plurality of sets to a second tier. The memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.

  • Patent number: 10867221
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in a content generating, hosting and/or providing system supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods provide systems and methods for automatic discovery of high quality digital content. According to embodiments, the present disclosure describes improved computer system and methods directed to analyzing raw image data, such as features and descriptors of images in order to identify a high quality image(s). Such images can be identified from a database of images, and such images can be identified in real-time, or near real-time during the capture of an image(s) by a camera.

  • Patent number: 10558720
    Abstract: Disclosure includes system, method and architecture for selecting supplemental digital content using visual appearance. Digital content that is visually similar, or dissimilar, to digital content requested by a user can he identified and provided for presentation with the requested content. The additional digital content is visually congruent, or visually incongruent, with content requested by a user, such that the additional content is similar, or dissimilar, to the requested content from a visual standpoint. In a presentation of the requested content, the presentation position of each additional content item relative to the presentation position of each requested content can be identified using visual congruence, or visual incongruence.

  • Patent number: 10447645
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content generating, searching, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods automatically identify and communicate media content to users as the media content is uploaded to the internet. The disclosed systems and methods leverage an internet hosted data firehose in order to build and communicate streams of content that are relevant to users' determined interests. Real-time analysis of the continuous stream of content results in curated media streams being created and communicated to users thereby stimulating social interactivity between users and automating the discovery of other users on a network.

  • Publication number: 20160162482
    Abstract: A first image, associated with a first tag, and/or other images may be presented to a user. A user behavior of the user in regards to the first image may reduce or increase a quality score of the first image. A quality metric of the first image may be determined, and may be used to decrease or increase the quality score of the first image. A rank may be assigned to the first image based upon the modified quality score. The first image may be provided to users based upon the rank.
