Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for manually finding a view for a geographic object in a street level image and associating the view with the geographic object. Information related to a geographic object and a first image related to the geographic object is displayed. User inputs indicating a presence of the geographic object in the image and user input indicating a viewpoint within the image are received and processed. An association of the viewpoint, the image and the geographic object is made and the association is stored in a database. A second image is determined, based on the association, as a default initial image to be displayed for the geographic object in a mapping application.
Claims18
A method of generating a view for a geographic object, the method comprising:
- providing, with one or more processors, information related to a geographic object and a first image related to the geographic object on an electronic display;
- receiving, with the one or more processors, user input indicating a presence of the geographic object in the first image;
- determining, with the one or more processors based on user manipulation of the first image with respect to the geographic object, a viewpoint within the first image, the user manipulation including one or more user operations comprising at least one of (i) yaw, pitch, zoom operations, and (ii) bounding-box drawing operations;
- associating, with the one or more processors, the viewpoint, the first image and the information related to the geographic object;
- and
- storing, with the one or more processors, the association in a database.
A system of generating a view for a geographic object, the system comprising:
- an electronic display device;
- a user input device;
- one or more processors in communication with the electronic display device and the user input device and configured to process information received from the user input device;
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor, the instructions comprising:
- displaying, on the electronic display, information related to a geographic object and a first image related to the geographic object;
- receiving, from the user input device, user input indicating a presence of the geographic object in the first image;
- determining, based on user manipulation of the first image with respect to the geographic object, a viewpoint within the first image, the user manipulation including one or more user operations comprising at least one of (i) yaw, pitch, zoom operations, and (ii) bounding-box drawing operations;
- associating the viewpoint, the first image and the information related to the geographic object;
- and
- storing the association in the memory.
