Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for performing visual search using multi-view digital media representations, such as surround views. In one example, a process includes receiving a visual search query that includes a surround view of an object to be searched, where the surround view includes spatial information, scale information, and different viewpoint images of the object. The surround view is compared to stored surround views by comparing spatial information and scale information of the surround view to spatial information and scale information of the stored surround views. A correspondence measure is then generated indicating the degree of similarity between the surround view and a possible match. At least one search result is then transmitted with a corresponding image in response to the visual search query.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for analyzing and manipulating images and video. In particular, a multi-view interactive digital media representation can be generated from live images captured from a camera. The live images can include an object. An angular view of the object captured in the live images can be estimated using sensor data from an inertial measurement unit. The determined angular views can be used to select from among the live images. The multi-view interactive digital media representation can include a plurality of images where each of the plurality of images includes the object from a different camera view. When the plurality of images is output to a display, the object can appear to undergo a 3-D rotation through the determined angular view where the 3-D rotation of the object is generated without a 3-D polygon model of the object.

Abstract: A backplane has several socket connectors arranged parallel side by sde on the side facing a module and at least one bus having at least one bus line. A spring contact is attached to a bus contact pin of each socket connector of a bus on the side of the backplane that faces away from the modules. The contact pin of the spring contact adjacent to the bus contact pin of each socket connector is electrically connected to a corresponding bus contact pin. The second contact pin of each pin contact is electrically connected to the others with the bus line. The connection of each spring contact can be controlled with handling means. Modules can be separated from the part of the bus that goes beyond the modules without requiring that the modules be pulled from their plug-in locations on a module carrier.
