Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate to generating a sequence of images or other visual representations associated with an entity, otherwise known as a semantic image navigation experience. After an entity is selected, a set of sub-entities may be identified. Each sub-entity in the set has a containment relationship with the selected entity as well as at least one associated landmark and one associated pre-stored navigation experience. Then, a ranking order of the sub-entities in the set may be determined based on characteristics of each entity. Based on the determined ranking order, a subset of sub-entities may be selected. A semantic image navigation experience for the selected entity may then be generated using the pre-stored navigation experiences associated with the subset of sub-entities.
