Fuente: Wipo "digitalization" The present disclosure includes methods and systems for searching for digital visual media based on semantic and spatial information. In particular, one or more embodiments of the disclosed systems and methods identify digital visual media displaying targeted visual content in a targeted region based on a query term and a query area provide via a digital canvas. Specifically, the disclosed systems and methods can receive user input of a query term and a query area and provide the query term and query area to a query neural network to generate a query feature set. Moreover, the disclosed systems and methods can compare the query feature set to digital visual media feature sets. Further, based on the comparison, the disclosed systems and methods can identify digital visual media portraying targeted visual content corresponding to the query term within a targeted region corresponding to the query area.
