A display engine can browse a portion of image data during a browsing session. An evaluator can identify a context related to two or more concurrent and on-going browsing sessions. An ad selector can locate an ad from a data store based on the identified context and seamlessly incorporate and display the ad into at least one of the browsing sessions. | 10-08-2009 |
20090274391 | INTERMEDIATE POINT BETWEEN IMAGES TO INSERT/OVERLAY ADS - The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates simulating a portion 2-dimensional (2D) data for implementation within a 3-dimensional (3D) virtual environment. A 3D virtual environment can enable a 3D exploration of a 3D image constructed from a collection of two or more 2D images, the 3D image is constructed by combining the two or more 2D images based upon a respective image perspective. An analyzer can evaluate the collection of two or more 2D images to identify a portion of the 3D image that is unrepresented by the combined two or more 2D images. A synthetic view generator can create a simulated synthetic view for the portion of 3D image that is unrepresented, the simulated synthetic view replicates a 2D image with a respective image perspective for the unrepresented portion of 3D image. | 11-05-2009 |
20090319357 | COLLECTION REPRESENTS COMBINED INTENT - The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates communicating intent-related data to a user. A display engine can enable exploration of a portion of image data during a browsing session. An intent component can receive a portion of data related to the browsing session, wherein the portion of data is at least one of a collection of browsing history or a portion of data displayed during a browsing session. The intent component can further evaluate the portion of data to ascertain a combined intent of a user. A selective ad component can infer an incompleteness of the combined intent to trigger a pre-qualification for an offer related to at least one of an item or service that fulfills the incompleteness. | 12-24-2009 |
20090327229 | AUTOMATIC KNOWLEDGE-BASED GEOGRAPHICAL ORGANIZATION OF DIGITAL MEDIA - Various techniques for a method for generating location information for a digital media file. In one implementation, the method may include receiving a first digital media file with location information and a second digital media file without location information, receiving a location hierarchy of the first digital media file, wherein the location hierarchy is determined using a reverse-geocoding algorithm and using the location hierarchy of the first digital media file to determine a location hierarchy of the second digital media file. | 12-31-2009 |

20080317376 | Automatic image correction providing multiple user-selectable options - An arrangement is provided for automatically correcting a digital image by first examining the image to determine the class or type of correction that is needed to produce a more accurate rendition. The classes or types of corrections may include such items as exposure, color, depth of field, sharpness, distortion, and combinations thereof. The type of correction that is needed by any particular digital image is determined from an analysis of the image itself. Instead of presenting the user with a single corrected image, the user is typically presented with different renditions of the image. Each rendition corrects for the particular type of correction that has been identified, but in different ways from one another. | 12-25-2008 |
20100169838 | ANALYSIS OF IMAGES LOCATED WITHIN THREE-DIMENSIONAL ENVIRONMENTS - Images are analyzed within a 3D environment that is generated based on spatial relationships of the images and that allows users to experience the images in the 3D environment. Image analysis may include ranking images based on user viewing information, such as the number of users who have viewed an image and how long an image was viewed. Image analysis may further include analyzing the spatial density of images within a 3D environment to determine points of user interest. | 07-01-2010 |
20110078097 | SHARED FACE TRAINING DATA - Face data sharing techniques are described. In an implementation, face data for a training image that includes a tag is discovered in memory on a computing system. The face data is for a training image that includes a tag associated with a face. The face data is replicated in a location in memory, on another computing system, so the face data is discoverable. | 03-31-2011 |
20110268369 | GENERATING A COMBINED IMAGE FROM MULTIPLE IMAGES - A determination is made for each of multiple regions in multiple images of how good that region is perceived as being. A base image is identified, and a combined image is generated from the multiple images by automatically replacing each region of the base image with a corresponding region of another image if the corresponding region has been determined as being better than the region of the base image. The generating of the combined image can include automatically selecting from one of the multiple images a region in which an object that is present in one or more corresponding regions of other images is absent. Additionally, for a particular region of the base image, corresponding regions of the other images can be displayed, and the particular region replaced with a user-selected one of the corresponding regions of the other images. | 11-03-2011 |
20120026178 | RAW IMAGE PROCESSING - A system, a method and computer-readable media for processing raw image data with a graphics processing unit (GPU). Raw image data generated by an imaging sensor is received. A set of instructions for demosaicing the raw image data is communicated to the GPU. The GPU is enabled to demosaic the raw image data by executing the set of instructions. | 02-02-2012 |
20130336599 | Generating A Combined Image From Multiple Images - A determination is made for each of multiple regions in multiple images of how good that region is perceived as being. A base image is identified, and a combined image is generated from the multiple images by automatically replacing each region of the base image with a corresponding region of another image if the corresponding region has been determined as being better than the region of the base image.
