TLDR
In this paper, the authors present techniques for capturing and analyzing information gathered by a mobile device equipped with one or more sensors, which can be used to extrapolate pertinent information about the surrounding environment and transmit the information to a service that can analyze the transmitted information.Abstract:
Example embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for capturing and analyzing information gathered by a mobile device equipped with one or more sensors. Recognition and tracking software and localization techniques may be used to extrapolate pertinent information about the surrounding environment and transmit the information to a service that can analyze the transmitted information. In one embodiment, when a user views a particular object or landmark on a device with image capture capability, the device may be provided with information through a wireless connection via a database that may provide the user with rich metadata regarding the objects in view. Information may be presented through rendering means such as a web browser, rendered as a 2D overlay on top of the live image, and rendered in augmented reality.read more

Managing media objects in a database
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for organizing media objects in a database using contextual information for a media object and known media objects, categories, indexes and searches, to arrive at an inference for cataloging the media object in the database is presented.
Interactive Images
TL;DR: Interactive images as mentioned in this paper are a generalization of this idea, in which the third and greater dimensions may be focus, exposure, white balance, saturation, and other parameters, and interaction is handled via a variety of modes including those we call ordinal, pixel-indexed, cumulative, and comprehensive.
