Platform for Constructing and Consuming Realm and Object Feature Clouds
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of providing a server-based feature cloud model of a realm, the method comprising:
- receiving by a server a series of digital contributions that collectively originate from a plurality of remote computing devices, characterizing portions of the realm;
processing by the server the received digital contributions to associate them with a global coordinate system and storing the processed contributions in a realm model database as components of the feature cloud model of the realm; and
in response to a query message over the Internet from a computing device of an end-user, serving, over the Internet by the server to the computing device, digital data defining a selected portion of the feature cloud model for integration and display by the computing device.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of providing a server-based feature cloud model of a realm includes receiving by a server a series of digital contributions that collectively originate from a plurality of remote computing devices, characterizing portions of the realm. The method also includes processing by the server the received digital contributions to associate them with a global coordinate system and storing the processed contributions in a realm model database as components of the feature cloud model of the realm. Finally, the method includes, in response to a query message over the Internet from a computing device of an end-user, serving, over the Internet by the server to the computing device, digital data defining a selected portion of the feature cloud model for integration and display by the computing device.

12. A computer-implemented method for object recognition, the method comprising:
-
providing an object database, coupled to a server, that associates each object in the object database with a feature cloud model; receiving by the server over a network from a mobile device a digital data set; processing by the server of the digital data set in relation to the object database to perform an identification of an object represented by the digital data set that is in the object database; and transmitting over the network to the mobile device the identification of the object.
