    Abstract: Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations for determining the acquisition location of an image using an analysis of the image's visual contents. In at least some situations, images to be analyzed include panorama images acquired at acquisition locations in an interior of a multi-room building, and the determined acquisition location information includes a location on a floor plan of the building and in some cases orientation direction information—in at least some such situations, the acquisition location determination is performed without having or using information from any distance-measuring devices about distances from an image's acquisition location to objects in the surrounding building. The acquisition location information may be used in various automated manners, including for controlling navigation of devices (e.g., autonomous vehicles), for display on one or more client devices in corresponding graphical user interfaces, etc.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations to control acquisition of images in a defined area, including obtaining and using data from one or more hardware sensors on a mobile device that is acquiring the images, analyzing the sensor data (e.g., in a real-time manner) to determine the geometric orientation of the mobile device in three-dimensional (3D) space, and using that determined orientation to control the acquisition of further images by the mobile device. In some situations, the determined orientation information may be used in part to automatically generate and display a corresponding GUI (graphical user interface) that is overlaid on and augments displayed images of the environment surrounding the mobile device during the image acquisition process, so as to control the mobile device's geometric orientation in 3D space.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations for determining matching buildings and using corresponding information in further automated manners, such as by determining buildings having similarities to an indicated target building based at least in part on building floor plans and/or other attributes, and by automatically determining building modifications to implement for the target building based at least in part on differences with the similar buildings and/or building features that are prioritized or deprioritized from analysis of user activity data of one or more types, optionally in combination with one or more other specified criteria. Information about such determined buildings may be used in various automated manners, including for controlling device navigation (e.g., autonomous vehicles), for display on client devices in corresponding graphical user interfaces, for further analysis to identify shared and/or aggregate characteristics, etc.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations to generate mapping information via analysis of visual data of photos of a defined area, and for using the generated mapping information in further automated manners, including to display the generated mapping information via various types of visualizations corresponding graphical user interfaces. In some situations, the defined area includes an interior of a multi-room building, and the generated information includes at least a partial floor plan and/or other modeled representation of the building—in addition, the generating may be further performed without having measured depth information about distances from the photos' acquisition locations to walls or other objects in the surrounding building. The generated floor plan and/or other mapping-related information may be further used in various manners, including for controlling navigation of devices (e.g., autonomous vehicles), etc.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations for using wireless transmitter devices (e.g., beacon devices) at a building for determining the acquisition locations of images or other data acquired at the building, and for subsequently using the acquired data and determined acquisition location information in one or more further automated manners. Images to be analyzed may include panorama images acquired at acquisition locations in an interior of a multi-room building, and the determined acquisition location information may include a location on a building floor plan and optionally orientation direction—the acquisition location determination may further be performed without having or using information from any distance-measuring devices about distances from an image's acquisition location to objects in the surrounding building. The acquisition location information may be used in various automated manners, including for controlling navigation of devices (e.g., autonomous vehicles).
