Abstract

Content creation collection and navigation techniques and systems are described. In one example, a representative image is used by a content sharing service to interact with a collection of images provided as part of a search result. In another example, a user interface image navigation control is configured to support user navigation through images based on one or more metrics. In a further example, a user interface image navigation control is configured to support user navigation through images based on one or more metrics identified for an object selected from the image. In yet another example, collections of images are leveraged as part of content creation. In another example, data obtained from a content sharing service is leveraged to indicate suitability of images of a user for licensing as part of the service.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . In a digital environment for image creation and sharing, a method implemented by one or more computing devices comprising:
displaying an image within a user interface by the one or more computing devices along with a plurality of image creation functionality that is usable to transform an appearance of the image; responsive to receiving a request to access at least one item of the image creation functionality that is usable to transform the image, obtaining a plurality of other images from a collection that includes the image by the one or more computing devices; and transforming the appearance of the image using the at least one item of the image creation functionality based at least in part of the obtained plurality of images from the collection by the one or more computing devices.

2 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the image creation functionality infers a three-dimensional model of a scene captured by the image using the image and the plurality of other images from the collection.

3 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the image creation functionality infers light sources from the image and the plurality of other images from the collection.

4 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the image creation functionality infers an optical flow from the image and the plurality of other images from the collection.

5 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the image creation functionality is used to perform hole filling using the image and the plurality of other images from the collection.

6 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the image creation functionality generates a depth map from the image and the plurality of other images from the collection.

7 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the image creation functionality semantically labels object in the image using the image and the plurality of other images from the collection.

8 . The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the obtaining is performed through interaction over a network by the one or more computing devices with a content sharing service via which the image is licensed for use by the one or more computing devices.

9 . In a digital environment for image creation and sharing, a system of a content sharing service comprising:
a processing system; and computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the processing system, causes one or more operations to be performed comprising:
displaying an image within a user interface by the one or more computing devices along with a plurality of image creation functionality that is usable to transform an appearance of the image;
responsive to receiving a request to access at least one item of the image creation functionality that is usable to transform the image, obtaining a plurality of other images from a collection that includes the image by the one or more computing devices; and
transforming the appearance of the image using the at least one item of the image creation functionality based at least in part of the obtained plurality of images from the collection by the one or more computing devices.

10 . The system as described in claim 9 , wherein the plurality of images are selectable for licensing from the content sharing service.

11 . The system as described in claim 9 , wherein the other images in the collection are obtained for display responsive to selection of the at least one image that is used to represent the collection of images.

12 . The system as described in claim 9 , further comprising:
licensing use of the at least one image responsive to verification of user credentials performed responsive to selection of the at least one image for licensing by the user; receiving a request from the user for other images in the collection for use as part of image creation functionality to transform the at least one image; and communicating the other images in the collection via a network for receipt by the user.

13 . The system as described in claim 12 , wherein the image creation functionality:
infers a three-dimensional model of a scene captured by the image using the image and the plurality of other images from the collection; infers light sources from the image and the plurality of other images from the collection; or generates a depth map from the image and the plurality of other images from the collection

14 . The system as described in claim 12 , wherein the image creation functionality infers an optical flow from the image and the plurality of other images from the collection.

15 . The system as described in claim 12 , wherein the image creation functionality is used to perform hole filling using the image and the plurality of other images from the collection.

16 . The system as described in claim 12 , wherein the image creation functionality semantically labels object in the image using the image and the plurality of other images from the collection.

17 . In a digital environment for image creation and sharing, a method implemented by one or more computing devices of a content sharing service comprising:
receiving a request via a network by the content sharing service to determine suitability of a user's images for licensing; responsive to the request, causing examination of a plurality of images of the user to determine whether individual ones of the images are suitable for licensing; and responsive to the examination, causing output of a result of the examination in a user interface that is indicative of the suitability of the images for licensing.

18 . The method as described in claim 17 , wherein the determination of whether the individual ones of the images are suitable for licensing is based at least in part on as shared image characteristics with images that are licensed from the content sharing service.

19 . The method as described in claim 17 , wherein the determination of whether the individual ones of the images are suitable for licensing is based at least in part on as shared subject-matter characteristics with images that are licensed from the content sharing service.

20 . The method as described in claim 17 , wherein the determination of whether the individual ones of the images are suitable for licensing is based at least in part on image quality.
