In one embodiment, a method of searching for patent-related documents stored in a document corpus include receiving, by a computing device, a search query comprising a first term and a second term, wherein the search query indicates that the first term is an equivalent of the second term, searching the document corpus for patent-related documents wherein the first term is used interchangeably with the second term, and preparing for display a list of one or more patent-related documents. In yet another embodiment, a method of searching a parts thesaurus, includes receiving, by a computing device, a search query including a search term, and searching the parts thesaurus for term variants of the search term. The method further includes preparing for display term variants of the search term found in the parts thesaurus.

A control method analysis unit acquires a correspondence relation between signs and model numbers from an apparatus table of an instrumentation diagram, and acquires signs and apparatus symbols, and connection relation among apparatuses, from a drawing of the instrumentation diagram. Subsequently, the control method analysis unit acquires an apparatus classification drawn on the diagram by searching an instrumentation apparatus classification database based on the model numbers, and decides a temperature control method employed by an instrumentation indicated in the instrumentation diagram, from the apparatus classification and the connection relation. The control method analysis unit then links the decided temperature control method to the instrumentation diagram accumulated in a case database. A search processing unit extracts a corresponding instrumentation diagram by searching the case database based on a temperature control method designated as a search condition.

Embodiments of this application provide a photography guiding method, a device, and a system, relate to the field of terminal technologies, so as to precisely search for a reference picture by using a search word, and accurately guide a user based on the reference picture to perform composition photographing, thereby improving user photographing experience. A specific solution includes: displaying, by a photographing device, a photographing screen; when detecting at least one search word entered by a user on the photographing screen, performing picture retrieval based on the search word, where the at least one search word is used to describe a feature of a to-be-photographed picture; and displaying, on the photographing screen, at least one reference picture in a retrieved picture, where the reference picture is used to guide the user to perform composition photographing. The embodiments of this application are used to guide the user to perform composition photographing.

There is provided an information processing apparatus and an information processing method, the information processing apparatus including: a display size decision unit configured to decide a display size of data that is based on learning of a label corresponding to a class, on the basis of a distance between a position of the data arranged on the basis of a likelihood vector obtained by recognition of the data, and a position of a class to which the data belongs; and a communication control unit configured to cause the display size to be transmitted.

Implementations relate to removal of one or more images from a view of a plurality of images. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a plurality of images, programmatically analyzing the plurality of images to determine a plurality of image features, and determining one or more image categories for the plurality of images based on the image features. The method further includes identifying a subset of the plurality of images based on the image categories, wherein each image of the subset is associated with an image category for archival. The method further includes causing a user interface to be displayed that includes one or more images of the subset, receiving user input to archive at least one of the one or more images, and in response to the user input, removing the at least one of the images from a view of the plurality of images.

An automotive vehicle includes a sensor configured to detect features external to the vehicle, an HMI configured to signal an alert to an operator of the vehicle, and a controller. The controller is in communication with the sensor and the HMI, and is in communication with a non-transient computer-readable storage medium provided with a road furniture database. The road furniture database includes a plurality of items of road furniture having associated road furniture geolocations and road furniture classifications. The controller is configured to, in response to the vehicle being proximate a respective road furniture geolocation for a respective item of road furniture and the sensor not detecting the respective item of road furniture, control the HMI to signal an alert.

Methods of evaluating animal activity relating to wildlife areas are disclosed that include running a digital classification routine to recognize particular species in a series of images. From those images data records are developed having the ability to identify timing information, the species, the location, celestial characteristics and atmospheric characteristics. The data records are analyzed to establish correlations between various associated features and the presence of the particular species. Data associated with future celestial characteristics and atmospheric characteristics is obtained and estimated probabilities of future appearances of the particular species are calculated and provided.

The present disclosure relates to user-selected metadata related to images captured by a camera of a client device. User-selected metadata may include contextual information and/or information provided by a user when the images are captured. In various implementations, a free form input may be received at a first client device of one or more client devices operated by a user. A task request may be recognized from the free form input, and it may be determined that the task request includes a request to store metadata related to one or more images captured by a camera of the first client device. The metadata may be selected based on content of the task request. The metadata may then be stored, e.g., in association with one or more images captured by the camera, in computer-readable media. The computer-readable media may be searchable by the metadata.

Cameras capture time-stamped images of predefined areas. Occluded images that represent obstructed views of items are processed using a combination of machine-learning and a probabilistic approach based on a planogram for the items and the items' location within a store. Output from the machine-learning and probabilistic approach are item identifiers that identify the items as known items to the store.
