Abstract

Provided are mechanisms and processes for performing live search using multi-view digital media representations. In one example, a process includes receiving a visual search query from a device for an object to be searched, where the visual search query includes a first set of viewpoints of the object obtained during capture of a first surround view of the object during a live search session. Next, additional recommended viewpoints of the object are identified for the device to capture, where the additional recommended viewpoints are chosen to provide more information about the object. A first set of search results based on the first set of viewpoints and additional recommended viewpoints of the object are transmitted to the device. In response, a second set of viewpoints of the object captured using image capture capabilities of the device are received. A second set of search results with enhanced matches for the object based on the first and second sets of viewpoints are then transmitted to the device. This process may continue iteratively until a desired set of search results is obtained.
