Publication number: 20240046964Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating video anchors for a video. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining key moment identifiers for a video, where each key moment identifier includes a time index value specifying a playback time in the video, and is indicative subject matter of the video that has been determined to meet one or more interest criteria that define salient topics within the video. For each key moment identifier, a video anchor is generated, where each video anchor indicates a playback time for the video, and may include an image of a frame that occurs near the playback time. Upon a selection of the video anchor by the user, an instruction in the video anchor causes a video player to begin playback of the video at the playback time specified by the video anchor.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Prashant Baheti, Matthew Linkous, Wei Peng, Chériana Crystal Gretchen Griggs, Kathryn Malia Tice, Pierce Anthony Vollucci, Sam Becker, Rick Maria Frederikus Van Mook, Tsutomu Ohkura, Yi Yang, Dimitra Papachristou, Edward Santos, Nicolas Crowell, Steffanie McBrian, Neesha Subramaniam, Gabe Culbertson, Shoji Ogura

Publication number: 20190155948Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, re-ranking resources for categorical queries. In one aspect, a method includes receiving queries, and for each received query: receiving data indicating resources identified by a search operation as being responsive to the query and ranked according to a first order, each resource having corresponding search score by which the resources are ranked in responsiveness to the query and determining whether a proper subset meets a quality condition based on a quality measure that is indicative of the quality of the resources in the proper subset and independent of search scores of the resources for received query. For each query for which the proper subset meets the quality condition, determining a quality score for each resource in the proper subset and re-ranking the resources in the proper subset according to their respective quality scores.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2015Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventors: Trystan G.

Patent number: 10204138Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for identifying navigational resources for queries. In an aspect, a candidate query in a query sequence is selected, and a revised query subsequent to the candidate query in the query sequence is selected. If a quality score for the revised query is greater than a quality score threshold and a navigation score for the revised query is greater than a navigation score threshold, then a navigational resource for the revised query is identified and associated with the candidate query. The association specifies the navigational resource as being relevant to the candidate query in a search operation.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2015Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Trystan G. Upstill, Henele I. Adams, Eric Lehman, Neesha Subramaniam, Wensi Xi, Sundeep Tirumalareddy

Patent number: 7942340Abstract: A two-dimensional code includes a polygonal exterior region distinguishable from a background on the basis of brightness or color and an interior region disposed at a predetermined distance from the perimeter of the exterior region. The interior region is divided into cells of a predetermined size so that information is represented by brightness or color of each of the cells. The cells, each having the shape of a hexagon, are disposed so as to abut each other.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2006Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shinji Uchiyama, Neesha Subramaniam, Kiyohide Satoh

Publication number: 20100079481Abstract: A method and system marks a scene and images acquired of the scene with tags. A set of tags is projected into a scene while modulating an intensity of each tag according to a unique temporally varying code. Each tag is projected as an infrared signal at a known location in the scene. Sequences of infrared and color images are acquired of the scene while performing the projecting and the modulating. A subset of the tags is detected in the sequence of infrared images. Then, the sequence of color image is displayed while marking a location of each detected tag in the displayed sequence of color images, in which the marked location of the detected tag corresponds to the known location of the tag in the scene.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2008Publication date: April 1, 2010Inventors: Li Zhang, Neesha Subramaniam, Robert Lin, Shree K.
