Abstract: A system for generating an advertisement is provided. The system may receive an advertisement request from a client device and select an advertisement from a database in response to the advertisement request. The system may identify an advertiser web server associated with the advertisement, for example a landing page. The system may retrieve a picture from the advertiser web server and integrate the picture with the advertisement to generate an enhanced advertisement. The system may serve the enhanced advertisement to the client device.

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.

Abstract: A method and device for determining the distance between an airborne receiver and a stationary ground transmitter are disclosed. A digital terrain model is implemented to determine a range of distance values containing the transmitter. A receiver distance is found and, with the range of values, a plurality of theoretical distances is calculated, to each of which a corresponding azimuth angle and elevation angle are associated. The thus calculated azimuth and elevation angles are compared to the measured azimuth and elevation angles of the line of sight under which the receiver observes the transmitter.

Abstract: Methods and systems for classifying images and adding images to piles include determining attributes of an image, classifying the image by determining a set of elements of a hierarchy of which the image is a member based at least in part on the attributes, and adding the image to one or more piles associated with the set of elements of the hierarchy of which the image is a member.

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.

Abstract: A system for determining piles comprises an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an image. The processor is configured to determine one or more attributes of the image; to determine whether the image is a member of a top of a hierarchy based at least in part on the attributes. In the event it is determined that the image is a member of the top of the hierarchy: determine a set of elements of the hierarchy the image is a member of, based at least in part on the attributes and determine which of the set of entities are piles.
