Abstract
A method, system and media for generating and querying spatial multimedia indices are provided. A multimedia corpus representing varying view points and distributed across a large network, such as the Internet, is crawled to extract properties from the multimedia. The extracted properties and relationships among multimedia are stored and indexed in clusters associated with a space-scale hierarchy. Accordingly, a spatial multimedia service may utilize the space-scale hierarchy to update the spatial multimedia indices and to respond to user queries.

21. One or more computer-readable media having stored thereon a data structure, comprising:
-
one or more fields for spatial multimedia indices that store spatial relationships and semantic relationships between multimedia having different view points; and one or more spatial relationship fields for indicating whether at least two multimedia share one or more extracted properties and for providing a reference to the multimedia and one or more extracted properties, the extracted properties including two-dimensional information and three-dimensional information estimated from the two-dimensional information, wherein the estimated three-dimensional information is utilized to render and transition between the multimedia. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method to query spatial multimedia indices, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request having multimedia or extracted properties from the multimedia; generating one or more hints from the multimedia or extracted properties; refining the request with the hints; and submitting the request and hints to a query engine that interfaces with the spatial multimedia indices. - View Dependent Claims (28)
