Abstract
Route images that have been acquired along delivery routes may be automatically analyzed for visual saliency (e.g., based on image motion, image content, sensor information, carrier actions, etc.) and stored along with related route information as part of a visual route book data set. The route images may be acquired by carriers utilizing mobile recording devices (e.g., mobile phones, wearable cameras, vehicle mounted cameras, etc.) while travelling along delivery routes for delivering items. For assisting a carrier in navigating along a delivery route, route images and related route information, such as visual cues associated with salient objects or features, may be selected from the visual route book data set and presented to the carrier (e.g., as part of a visual route summary and/or as based on a current location of the carrier).
