20130155180 | PARALLAX COMPENSATION - Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for rendering imagery that compensates for parallax. Image data may comprise a sequence of images of a location, collected at known intervals (e.g., distances), such as along a path. The image data can comprise a first layer comprising a first depth, and a second layer comprising a second depth, that is different from the first depth. The image data can be composed into resulting imagery, where the first layer is composed at the first depth and the second layer is composed at the second depth. The resulting imagery can be rendered to compensate for, or rather make use of, parallax, such that the first layer is rendered at a first movement speed, based at least upon the first depth, and the second layer is rendered at a second movement speed, based at least upon the second depth. | 06-20-2013 |
20140164988 | IMMERSIVE VIEW NAVIGATION - Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for immersive navigation between one or more views. That is, an immersive user interface may display a first view (e.g., an image) depicting one or more entities (e.g., a person, a location, an object, a building, etc.). Responsive to a user expressing interest in (e.g., selecting) a first entity depicted within the first view, the immersive user interface may display one or more views depicting the first entity without removing the user from an immersive experience (e.g., the immersive user interface may remain in a substantially full-screen view mode, a substantially edge-to-edge view mode, a | 06-12-2014 |
20150234547 | PORTALS FOR VISUAL INTERFACES - One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for populating a scene of a visual interface with a portal. For example, one or more points of interest may be identified for the scene (e.g., a lake, a park, a condo, and/or other points of interest for a city scene). The scene may be populated with portals corresponding to the points of interest (e.g., a portal may have a semi-transparent perimeter compassing at least some of a point of interest, which may mitigate occlusion of the scene). A portal may be hydrated with imagery of a point of interest to provide a preview of the point of interest (e.g., a first portal for the lake may be hydrated with imagery of the lake). A user may seamlessly navigate between and/or explore scenes by selecting portals to transition the visual interface to new scenes depicting corresponding points of interest. | 08-20-2015 |
20150379001 | AUTOMATIC COLOR VALIDATION OF IMAGE METADATA - Systems and methods are described that validate color information in metadata associated with an image. Color information associated with images, in metadata, may need to be validated because there may be mistakes in the metadata. Color names associated with colors may be based on human generated data or human surveys. Individual colors may be extracted from images, which may be associated with the color names. Furthermore, the color names may be retrieved from a data store via a fast index color search. The color information in the metadata may be validated against the color names. | 12-31-2015 |
20150379006 | AUTOMATIC IMAGE-BASED RECOMMENDATIONS USING A COLOR PALETTE - Systems and methods are described that recommend images, items, and/or metadata based at least in part on a reference color palette or reference color name. A color name can be converted into a representation of the color name in a color space. The reference color can be used to identify images that contain the reference color. The identified images and associated metadata can be analyzed, sorted and provided as an ordered list of items. Systems and methods are also described that identify items that contain colors affiliated with the reference color. Systems and methods are also described that validate color identifier information in metadata associated with an image. Systems and methods are also described that identify non-color specific keywords associated with the reference color. | 12-31-2015 |
20150379168 | TECHNIQUES FOR SIMULATING KINESTHETIC INTERACTIONS - Sensor data is received from an electronic device, the sensor data corresponding to a kinesthetic interaction by a user with respect to an electronic presentation of an item offered in an electronic marketplace. A material simulation model associated with the item is obtained, as is metadata related to the item. Sensory output is identified utilizing the sensor data, the metadata, and the material simulation model, the sensory output simulating a corresponding physical interaction by the user with the item. The sensory output may be provided for presentation on the electronic device. | 12-31-2015 |
20150379608 | COLOR BASED SOCIAL NETWORKING RECOMMENDATIONS - Systems and methods are provided for generating social networking recommendations. A color preference of a first user may be determined from a color palette of a first image associated with the user and/or a color palette of an item associated with the user. Other users may be identified that have a similar color preference as the first user based at least in part on the determined color preference of the first user. Interactions between the first user and one or more other users having similar color preferences with respect to the first user may be facilitated. A social networking recommendation may be generated with respect to the one or more other users having similar color preferences with respect to the first user. | 12-31-2015 |
20150379731 | COLOR NAME GENERATION FROM IMAGES AND COLOR PALETTES - Systems and methods are provided for generating color names for colors corresponding to images and/or palettes. A color image is obtained, and one or more color palettes corresponding to the color image are identified. The color palette may be generated based on palette generation criteria, which may facilitate or control a palette generation process. Illustratively, the palette generation process may include image pre-processing, color distribution generation, representative color identification, palette candidate generation, and palette determination. A color name for each color identified in the color palette and/or the color image can be identified based at least in part on color name popularity information. Color name popularity information may be identified from color name-related voting results provided by a social network site. Aspects of the disclosure are further directed to processing the identified color name(s), such as updating color name metadata associated with the original color image and/or the color palette. | 12-31-2015 |
20150379732 | AUTOMATIC IMAGE-BASED RECOMMENDATIONS USING A COLOR PALETTE - Systems and methods are described that recommend images, items, and/or metadata based at least in part on a reference color palette or reference color name. A color name can be converted into a representation of the color name in a color space. The reference color can be used to identify images that contain the reference color. The identified images and associated metadata can be analyzed, sorted and provided as an ordered list of items. Systems and methods are also described that identify items that contain colors affiliated with the reference color. Systems and methods are also described that validate color identifier information in metadata associated with an image. Systems and methods are also described that identify non-color specific keywords associated with the reference color. | 12-31-2015 |
20150379959 | AUTOMATIC IMAGE-BASED RECOMMENDATIONS USING A COLOR PALETTE - Systems and methods are described that recommend images, items, and/or metadata based at least in part on a reference color palette or reference color name. A color name can be converted into a representation of the color name in a color space. The reference color can be used to identify images that contain the reference color. The identified images and associated metadata can be analyzed, sorted and provided as an ordered list of items. Systems and methods are also described that identify items that contain colors affiliated with the reference color. Systems and methods are also described that validate color identifier information in metadata associated with an image. Systems and methods are also described that identify non-color specific keywords associated with the reference color. | 12-31-2015 |
