Building search by contents

摘要

Aspects of the invention relate generally to identifying and providing 3D models in response to a search request. More specifically, a server may access a database of 3D models, at least some of which include geolocation information such as an address, intersection, or geolocation coordinates. The server may select a particular model and identify points of interest. For example, the server may use detailed map information to identify points of interest located at or near the geolocation information associated with the particular model. Once a point of interest has been identified, a corresponding system tag may be generated and associated with the 3D model. Tags may be used to index, search, and retrieve 3D models in response to a search request. For example, when a request for a 3D model is received, the server identifies the search terms and searches the tags to identify relevant 3D models.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
identifying, by one or more computing devices, a 3D model of an object from a plurality of 3D models of objects, wherein each 3D model of an object of the plurality of 3D models of objects is associated with information defining a geographic area of a base polygon of the respective object; determining, by the one or more computing devices, whether a geographic coordinate of a point of interest is within the geographic area of the base polygon; when the geographic coordinate of the point of interest is within the geographic area of the base polygon, creating, by the one or more computing devices, a system tag including a search term selected based on the given point of interest; and associating, by the one or more computing devices, the system tag with the identified 3D model of the object.
