A method of distributing location-based message contents over a messaging system and that are displayable on consumer devices present at associated locations. The method comprises, for each message of a set of messages, obtaining a message content and a message location search term, submitting the message location search term to a web mapping service so that a service application programming interface (API) searches with the message location search term, and receiving a result list including a plurality of message locations corresponding to the message. The method further comprises adding the message content and the plurality of message locations to a message distribution database or set of linked databases that is or are searchable by location. This facilitates the sending of relevant message location(s) to the consumer devices.

A mobile client device is localized based on a captured image by identifying where the client device is located from a set of known locations. The set of known locations is associated with a set of regions, where each region is associated with a set of key frames representing the important features of the region. Latent vectors and keypoints are calculated for each of the key frames and an image captured by the client device. The system compares the latent vectors of the captured image to the latent vectors associated with the regions to determine a subset of similar regions. The system compares the keypoints of the captured image to the keypoints associated with the regions in the subset to determine a best match. This determined location is considered the region of the client device and may be used with other localization information to maintain localization of the client device.

A method implemented on an electronic computing device for verifying a re-inspection of a property includes receiving data regarding the inspection of the property. A determination is made from the data whether requirements for the inspection have been met. When a determination is made that one or more requirements of the inspection have not been met, a determination is made whether a virtual re-inspection is possible. When a determination is made that the virtual re-inspection is possible, one or more photographs are received at the electronic computing device corresponding to the virtual re-inspection. A determination is made from the one or more photographs whether the virtual re-inspection has been successfully completed.

Techniques for collecting, synchronizing, and displaying various types of data relating to a road segment enable, via one or more local or remote processors, servers, transceivers, and/or sensors, (i) enhanced and contextualized analysis of vehicle events by way of synchronizing different data types, relating to a monitored road segment, collected via various different types of data sources; (ii) enhanced and contextualized analysis of filed insurance claims pertaining to a vehicle incident at a road segment; (iii) advantageous machine learning techniques for predicting a level of risk assumed for a given vehicle event or a given road segment; (iv) techniques for accounting for region-specific driver profiles when controlling autonomous vehicles; and/or (v) improved techniques for providing a GUI to display collected data in a meaningful and contextualized manner.

Systems and methods for generating targeted media content capture an image from an image capture device. The system may analyze the image to recognize a visual identifier for each entity in the image, each of which may have one or more group identifiers. The system may aggregate the group identifiers to identify the number of each group in the audience area and select media content to display to the audience based on the aggregate numbers of each group identified in the audience area. The system may also derive time restrictions for groups identified in the audience area to help optimize how groups traverse through one or more areas.

Automated panoramic image connections from outdoor to indoor environments is provided. A system identifies, in a data repository, a virtual tour of an internal portion of a physical building formed from a plurality of images connected with a linear path along a persistent position of a virtual camera. The system receives, from a third-party data repository, image data corresponding to an external portion of the physical building. The system detects, within the image data, an entry point for the internal portion of the physical building. The system generates, responsive to the detection, a step-in transition at the entry point in the image data. The system connects the virtual tour with the step-in transition generated for the image data at the entry point. The system initiates, on a client device responsive to an interaction with the entry point, the step-in transition to cause a stream of the virtual tour.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for identifying images which may be of interest to a user based on their current geographic location. In some embodiments, a check is first performed to determine if the current geographic location is a location-of-interest. Images are searched that are in geographical proximity to the current geographic location of the user to identify images-of-interest. The images-of-interest may be designated in part based on actions taken by subjects having had interactions with the images. The user is notified based on the discovery of one or more images-of-interest. The one or more images-of-interest may be presented to the user through the use of map overlays and/or augmented reality techniques.
