Systems and methods for extracting audiovisual features from images and other digital components. A data processing system can extract image data and image features from an input image. The data processing system can match the image features to the image features of a plurality of image to identify candidate images. A second image can be selected from the candidate images based on a request that the data processing system received with the input image.

Extracting audiovisual features from digital components

Systems and methods for extracting audiovisual features from online document elements are described herein. A computing device can identify a first audiovisual content element on an online document and can retrieve a second audiovisual content element from a content provider database. The computing device can extract an image, video, or audio feature from the first and the second audiovisual content elements by applying image feature, video frame feature, or audio fingerprint detection. The computing device can determine a match between the features extracted from the first and the second audiovisual content elements. The computing device can select the second audiovisual content element for display on the online document based on the match. The computing device can transmit the second audiovisual content element for insertion in a content slot of the online document.

Co-selected images are labeled based on a topic score that is a measure of relevance of the co-selected image to a first topic to which a reference image belongs. The first topic to which the reference image belongs is identified based on a reference label associated with the reference image. The co-selected images are images that are selected for presentation subsequent to selection of the reference image during a user session. The co-selected images are identified based on selection data for user sessions in which the reference image was selected for presentation. The topic score is generated based on a frequency of selection of the co-selected image. Image search results for a second topic can be filtered to remove images that are labeled as belonging to the first topic or the image search results can be reordered to adjust the presentation positions at which images are referenced based on the topic to which the images belong.

A video stream may include portions that are stored while other portions are being displayed. In one embodiment, a portion of the video stream may be stored in digital storage media at one instance while in the next instance another portion of the stream is being read out of the storage media.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for cross-language image search. One method includes receiving an image search query and image search results responsive to the image search query. Translations of the image search query into other languages are obtained, and search results responsive to each of the translations are received. Instructions are provided to a client device. The instructions cause the client device to present a user interface that includes one or more of the image search results responsive to the image search query and a cross-language search option for each of the translations. Each cross-language search option includes the translation and a preview of the image search results responsive to the translation.

Cross language search options

Provided are a method, system, and program for installing and executing shared applications in shared folders. A program is installed by a base computer, having a local storage, to a shared folder accessible to multiple client computers over a network. Installing the program adds files for the program to the shared folder and modifies the local device used by the base computer and enables the base computer to run the program by accessing the program files in the shared folder. An image is created of the local device of the base computer including the installed program. The image is provided to the client computers to apply to local devices of the client computers. Applying the image to the local devices of the client computers enables the client computers to access the program files in the shared folder to run the program.

A system for associating a selected object on any printed material to a valid response provided by a computer system includes a maker component to define an object on a page of printed material, and to link a position of the object on the page, the contents of the page, and the response to be performed by a computer system. The system also includes a pointing device to determine a position on the printed material, a communicating device to transmit the position to the computer system, and a player component to correlate the position to selected digital content associated with the printed materials, the selected digital content being accessible by the computer system; and to provide a valid response to a user based at least in part on the position and the correlated content, wherein the valid response includes at least one of rendering audio content, rendering video content, rendering image content, and performing an action by the computer system.

Coding systems that provide a perceptually improved approximation of the short-term characteristics of speech signals compared to typical coding techniques such as linear predictive analysis while maintaining enhanced coding efficiency. The invention advantageously employs a non-linear transformation and/or a spectral warping process to enhance particular short-term spectral characteristic information for respective voiced intervals of a speech signal. The non-linear transformed and/or warped spectral characteristic information is then coded, such as by linear predictive analysis to produce a corresponding coded speech signal. The use of the non-linear transformation and/or spectral warping operation of the particular spectral information advantageously causes more coding resources to be used for those spectral components that contribute greater to the perceptible quality of the corresponding synthesized speech. It is possible to employ this coding technique in a variety of speech coding techniques including, for example, vocoder and analysis-by-synthesis coding systems.

According to the invention, channel surfers are aided by summary frames appearing on the screen along with the regular program. These summary frames are embedded in the broadcast and appear in a small window on the screen at some point in the future as the video is broadcast. The summary frames depict key scenes from the past which aid the viewer in quickly ascertaining the current plot or theme of the video program. In an interactive television environment, a short video segment may be associated with each shot such that when the shot is selected, the past video segment is played in a larger window on the screen complete with sound. Once the segment is viewed, the video program is rejoined in progress with the viewer having a better sense of what is going on in the video. Hence, a when a channel surfer arrives at a new channel, rather than only having what is currently playing to catch the eye, summary frames are also available to catch the surfer's attention and aid in understanding the programming.
