Implementations generally relate to providing augmented reality in a web browser. In one implementation, a method includes capturing images of a physical scene with a camera of a device. The method further includes determining motion of the camera using six degrees of freedom (6DoF) markerless tracking. The method further includes overlaying virtual three-dimensional (3D) content onto a depicted physical scene in the images, resulting in augmented reality (AR) images. The method further includes rendering the AR images in a browser of the device.

Efficient GPU/CPU pipeline for providing augmented reality content

Providing augmented reality in a web browser

Techniques for ephemeral message are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a delayed-action worker module operative to wake according to a wake timer; determine a current update object for a delayed-action cursor for a recipient update queue for a messaging system, the delayed-action cursor associated with an action delay for the recipient update queue; determine a delayed-action activity for the current update object; perform the delay-action activity for the current update object; determine a next update object for the delayed-action cursor for the recipient update queue; and determine a next wake timer for the delayed-action worker module based on the action delay and a creation time for the next update object. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Implementations generally relate to determining camera motion. In one implementation, a method includes capturing a first image and a second image of a physical scene with a camera in respective first and second positions. The method further includes determining first and second image points from the respective first and second image points. The method further includes determining first and second directions of gravity relative to the camera in the respective first and second positions. The method further includes determining a motion of the camera between the capturing of the first image and the capturing of the second image, wherein the determining of the motion of the camera is based at least in part on the first image points, the second image points, the first direction of gravity, and the second direction of gravity.

Implementations generally relate to providing augmented reality in a web browser. In one implementation, a method includes capturing images of a physical scene with a camera of a device. The method further includes determining motion of the camera using six degrees of freedom (6DoF) marker-based tracking. The method further includes determining positions of markers relative to the camera using 6DoF marker-based tracking. The method further includes overlaying virtual content onto a depicted physical scene in the images, resulting in augmented reality (AR) images. The method further includes rendering the AR images in a browser of the device.

Providing augmented reality target images in a web browser

A method includes grouping media items associated with a user into segments based on a timestamp associated with each media item and a total number of media items. The method also includes selecting target media from the media items for each of the segments based on media attributes associated with the media item. The method also includes generating a video that includes the target media for each of the segments by generating a first animation that illustrates a first transition from a first item from the target media to a second item from the target media with movement of the first item from an onscreen location to an offscreen location, wherein the first item is adjacent to the second item in the first animation and determining whether the target media includes one or more additional items. The method also includes adding a song to the video.

Generating videos of media items associated with a user

Implementations generally relate to ranking and selecting images for display from a set of images. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes providing selected images for display, including examining characteristics of a plurality of images, where the examined characteristics include two or more of: visual capture characteristics, visual content characteristics, and social popularity characteristics of the images. The method determines individual scores for the respective examined characteristics of the images, determines overall scores of the images based on a combination of the individual scores for the examined characteristics of the images, and determines a ranking of the images based on the overall scores. The method selects one or more images based on the ranking of the images, and causes a display of the one or more selected images.

Ranking and selecting images for display from a set of images

Implementations generally relate to localizing and mapping. In one implementation, a method includes determining one or more map points in a point cloud space, where the point cloud space corresponds to a real physical environment. The method further includes determining movement information of one or more of the map points, where the determining of the movement information is performed by a neural network. The method further includes determining a self-position in the point cloud space based on the determined movement information.

Localizing and mapping platform

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for analyzing image search result relevance. In one aspect, a method includes receiving result data specifying a search query and responsive image search results that reference images that are responsive to the search query. A determination is made that the search query matches an indexed query. An image relevance model is identified for the indexed query. The image relevance model can output a relevance score adjustment factor for an image search result based on image feature values of the image that is referenced by the search result. A relevance score adjustment factor is determined for each image search result using the identified image relevance model. A relevance score for each image search result is adjusted using the image's image relevance score adjustment factor. The images are ranked based on the adjusted relevance scores.

Online image analysis

Implementations generally relate to generating image compositions. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a plurality of photos from a user and determining one or more composition types from the photos. The method further includes generating one or more compositions from the received photos based on the one or more determined composition types, where each composition is based on modified foregrounds of the photos. The method further includes providing the one or more generated compositions to the user.

Generating image compositions

Techniques for ephemeral message are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus may comprise a sender inbound messaging component operative to receive an incoming update for a message queue at a client support server for a messaging system from a messaging client on a client device; a legacy client support component operative to determine whether the messaging client supports a client-side time-to-live setting; determine whether the incoming update should be associated with a server-specified time-to-live setting where the messaging client does not support the client-side time-to-live setting; and assign the incoming update the server-specified time-to-live setting where the messaging client does not support the client-side time-to-live setting and where the incoming update should be associated with a server-side time-to-live setting. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
