Patent number: 9143742Abstract: Systems and methods for media aggregation are disclosed herein. The system includes a media system that can transform user generated media items into at least one aggregated media item. A synchronization component can synchronize media items with respect to time. Synchronized media items can be analyzed and transformed into an aggregated media item for storage and/or display. In addition, the aggregated media item is capable of being manipulated to create an enhanced and customizable viewing and/or listening experience. Accordingly, media item aggregation can be accomplished.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2012Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Rony Amira, Tal Yadid, Asaf Zomet, Shlomo Reuben Urbach, Eldad Barkai

Patent number: 8811656Abstract: Establishments are identified in geo-tagged images. According to one aspect, text regions are located in a geo-tagged image and text strings in the text regions are recognized using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) techniques. Text phrases are extracted from information associated with establishments known to be near the geographic location specified in the geo-tag of the image. The text strings recognized in the image are compared with the phrases for the establishments for approximate matches, and an establishment is selected as the establishment in the image based on the approximate matches. According to another aspect, text strings recognized in a collection of geo-tagged images are compared with phrases for establishments in the geographic area identified by the geo-tags to generate scores for image-establishment pairs. Establishments in each of the large collection of images as well as representative images showing each establishment are identified using the scores.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2013Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Shlomo Urbach, Tal Yadid, Yuval Netzer, Andrea Frome, Noam Ben-Haim

Patent number: 8744183Abstract: Techniques for identifying documents sharing common underlying structures in a large collection of documents and processing the documents using the identified structures are disclosed. Images of the document collection are processed to detect occurrences of a predetermined set of image features that are common or similar among forms. The images are then indexed in an image index based on the detected image features. A graph of nodes is built. Nodes in the graph represent images and are connected to nodes representing similar document images by edges. Documents sharing common underlying structures are identified by gathering strongly inter-connected nodes in the graph. The identified documents are processed based at least in part on the resulting clusters.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2013Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Shlomo Urbach, Eyal Fink, Tal Yadid, Yuval Netzer
