Abstract
Embodiments provide systems, methods, and non-transitory computer storage media for providing search result images based on associations of keywords and depth-levels of an image. In embodiments, depth-levels of an image are identified using depth-map information of the image to identify depth-segments of the image. The depth-segments are analyzed to determine keywords associated with each depth-segment based on objects, features, or content in each depth-segment. An image depth-level data structure is generated by matching keywords generated for the entire image with the keywords at each depth-level and assigning the depth-level to the keyword in the image depth-level data structure for the entire image. The image depth-level data structure may be queried for images that contain keywords and depth-level information that match the keywords and depth-level information specified in a search query.
