Abstract: Techniques are described for computing devices to perform automated operations related to using images acquired in a building as part of an automated generation process of a floor plan or other mapping information for the building, in some cases without using depth information from depth-sensing equipment about distances from the images' acquisition locations to objects in the surrounding building, and for subsequent use in further automated manners, such as controlling navigation of mobile devices and/or for display to end users in a corresponding graphical user interface. The analysis and assessment of the building images may, for example, include performing an automated assessment of one or more characteristics of the mapping information generation process (e.g., a predicted amount of time for completion) and to provide automated instructions (e.g., to adjust image acquisition device settings) or other feedback to improve the generation process (e.g., reduce that predicted time).

Abstract: A guided search system for suggesting and arranging filter criteria within a user interface for presentation to a user to help guide the user’s search for listings is disclosed. The system builds one or more filter criteria frequency data structures indicative of the number of times each filter criterion has been used to filter search results and how often different filter criteria are used together. The system uses the frequency data structures to predict which filter criteria a user will likely employ to narrow their search given the filter criteria the user has already used. The system provides techniques for arranging or rearranging filter criteria within a user interface, by moving, placing, or ordering suggested filter criteria within the user interface, where a user is likely to be able to recognize and interact with the placed filter criteria, based on the determined amounts of use.

Abstract: The described techniques relate generally to managing in-person access of users to physical properties based at least in part on tracking geographical locations of devices of the users, such as by using one or more geofences created around a physical property to provide authorized users with temporary access to the physical property based at least in part on tracked geographical locations of devices of the users. In some situations, a specialized server provides information to a user's mobile device about the geofence(s), and the mobile device notifies the specialized server when it breaches one or more of the geofences. The specialized server may perform further related activities, such as perform tracking of locations of users as they move around a physical property, and further analyzing the tracked location information to determine associated information and initiate corresponding additional automated activities.

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.

The automated analysis and assessment of the building images may, for example, include incrementally generating partial versions of the mapping information, determining acquisition instructions related to further acquisition of additional images and/or other types of data (e.g., to reduce uncertainty associated with portions of the partial mapping information or otherwise obtain missing data), and providing corresponding guidance in or more manners.

Abstract: Techniques are described for using data capture devices at a building to automatically generate a building floor plan and associate absolute location data with it, such as by associating separately captured GPS data or other absolute location data with the floor plan, and for presenting a model of the generated floor plan using the associated absolute location data (e.g., at a map position corresponding to the associated absolute location data). In some situations, the presenting of such a building floor plan includes showing varying levels of detail about structural aspects of the building interior and other interior aspects, such as based on the map zoom level and/or other factors. In addition, such presenting of a building floor plan may include automatically determining and using data about surroundings of the building, such as to provide information about views from the building, about directions to nearby points of interest, etc.

Abstract: Techniques are described for automated operations to analyze visual data from images acquired in multiple rooms of a building to generate one or more types of building information (e.g., global inter-image pose data, a floor plan for the building, etc.), such as by simultaneously or otherwise concurrently analyzing groups of three or more images having at least pairwise visual overlap between pairs of those images to determine information that includes global inter-image pose and structural element locations, and for subsequently using the generated building information in one or more further automated manners, with the building information generation further performed in some cases without having or using information from any distance-measuring devices about distances from an image's acquisition location to walls or other objects in the surrounding room.

Abstract: Techniques are described for using computing devices to perform automated operations involved in analysis of images acquired in a defined area, as part of generating mapping information of the defined area for subsequent use (e.g., for controlling navigation of devices, for display on client devices in corresponding GUIs, etc.). The defined area may include an interior of a multi-room building, and the generated information including a floor map of the building, such as from an analysis of multiple 360° spherical panorama images acquired at various viewing locations within the building (e.g., using an image acquisition device with a spherical camera having one or more fisheye lenses to capture a panorama image that extends 360 degrees around a vertical axis)—the generating may be further performed without detailed information about distances from the images' viewing locations to objects in the surrounding building.
