发明名称 Web mining to build a landmark database and applications thereof
摘要 This invention relates to building a landmark database from web data. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method builds a landmark database. Web data including a web page is received from one or more websites via one or more networks. The web data is interpreted using at least one processor to determine landmark data describing a landmark. At least a portion of the landmark data identifies a landmark. Finally, a visual model is generated using the landmark data. A computing device is able to recognize the landmark in an image based on the visual model.

主权项 1. A computer-implemented method for building a landmark database, comprising: (a) receiving web data including a web page from one or more websites via one or more networks; (b) interpreting the web data using at least one processor to extract landmark data describing a landmark from the web data, the landmark data including a name that identifies the landmark and a portion of a street address where the landmark is located; (c) applying one or more error checking rules to remove inaccurate landmark data from the landmark data; (d) generating a visual model using images determined based on the landmark data including the name; (e) sending, to a geocoding service, a request with the name of the landmark and the portion of the street address where the landmark is located; and (f) in response to the request, a location of the landmark from the geocoding service, the location determined based on the name of the landmark and the portion of the street address where the landmark is located included in the request, whereby a computing device is able to, using the visual model, recognize the landmark in an image, different from the images determined based on the landmark data, and correlate the image with the name.
