Combining unstructured image and 3D search results for interactive search and exploration

摘要

Implementations relate to presenting search results to a user. In particular, disclosed techniques include presenting both image search results and 3D model search results to a user. The user can manipulate the 3D model depicted in the 3D model search results by rotating, translating or zooming. Implementations thus provide a rich synergistic exploration experience to the user.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a search query; obtaining (i) one or more image search results that are identified as responsive to the search query, and (ii) one or more three-dimensional models that are identified as responsive to the search query; for each of the one or more three-dimensional models that are identified as responsive to the search query:
obtaining a candidate representative image that is associated with the three-dimensional model;determining that the candidate representative image that is associated with the three-dimensional model matches a particular image search result of the one or more image search results that are identified as responsive to the search query; andselecting the candidate representative image as a representative image for the three-dimensional model based at least on determining that the candidate representative image that is associated with the three-dimensional model matches the particular image search result of the one or more image search results that are identified as responsive to the search query; and in response to the search query, providing a search results page that identifies (i) one or more of the image search results, and (ii) the respective representative image that is associated with the each of the one or more three-dimensional models.
