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. According to particular embodiments, the spatial relationship between multiple images and video is analyzed together with location information data, for purposes of creating a representation referred to herein as a multi-view interactive digital media representation for presentation on a device. Once a multi-view interactive digital media representation is generated, a user can provide navigational inputs, such via tilting of the device, which alter the presentation state of the multi-view interactive digital media representation. The navigational inputs can be analyzed to determine metrics which indicate a user's interest in the multi-view interactive digital media representation.

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 (MVIDMR) of an object can be generated from live images of an object captured from a camera. After the MVIDMR of the object is generated, a tag can be placed at a location on the object in the MVIDMR. The locations of the tag in the frames of the MVIDMR can vary from frame to frame as the view of the object changes. When the tag is selected, media content can be output which shows details of the object at location where the tag is placed. In one embodiment, the object can be car and tags can be used to link to media content showing details of the car at the locations where the tags are placed.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for performing live search using multi-view digital media representations. In one example, a process includes receiving a visual search query from a device for an object to be searched, where the visual search query includes a first set of viewpoints of the object obtained during capture of a first surround view of the object during a live search session. Next, additional recommended viewpoints of the object are identified for the device to capture, where the additional recommended viewpoints are chosen to provide more information about the object. A first set of search results based on the first set of viewpoints and additional recommended viewpoints of the object are transmitted to the device. In response, a second set of viewpoints of the object captured using image capture capabilities of the device are received. A second set of search results with enhanced matches for the object based on the first and second sets of viewpoints are then transmitted to the device.

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 (MVIDMR) of a person can be generated from live images of a person captured from a hand-held camera. Using the image data from the live images, a skeleton of the person and a boundary between the person and a background can be determined from different viewing angles and across multiple images. Using the skeleton and the boundary data, effects can be added to the person, such as wings. The effects can change from image to image to account for the different viewing angles of the person captured in each image.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for inserting a visual element into a multi-view digital media representation (MVIDMR). In one example, a process includes analyzing an MVIDMR to determine if there is an appropriate location to insert a visual element. Once a location is found, the type of visual element appropriate for the location is determined, where the type of visual element includes either a three-dimensional object to be inserted in the MVIDMR or a two-dimensional image to be inserted as or projected onto a background or object in the MVIDMR. A visual element that is appropriate for the location is then retrieved and inserted into the MVIDMR, such that the visual element is integrated into the MVIDMR and navigable by a user.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for visual feature tagging in multi-view interactive digital media representations (MIDMRs). In one example, a process includes receiving a visual feature tagging request that includes an MIDMR of an object to be searched, where the MIDMR includes spatial information, scale information, and different viewpoint images of the object. A visual feature in the MIDMR is identified, and visual feature correspondence information is created that links information identifying the visual feature with locations in the viewpoint images. At least one image associated with the MIDMR is transmitted in response to the feature tagging request.
