Abstract
Implementations generally relate to collecting photos. In some implementations, a method includes collecting photos associated with one or more objects, where the photos are collected from a plurality of users. The method also includes collecting attention information associated with the one or more objects. The method also includes generating an attention map based on the attention information. The method also includes guiding users to capture photos of particular objects based on the attention map.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- collecting photos associated with one or more objects, wherein the photos are collected from a plurality of users, and wherein one or more of the photos are captured using one or more respective devices that are operable to track a gaze of a user;
- collecting attention information associated with the one or more objects, wherein the attention information is based on tracking gazes of one or more of the plurality of users;
- generating an attention map based on the attention information, wherein the generating of the attention map comprises:
- receiving gaze information;
- identifying the one or more objects;
- associating the gaze information with each of the one or more objects;
- and
- determining an attention value for each of the one or more objects based on the gaze information;
- and
- guiding users to capture photos of particular objects based on the attention map.
