Google API Vision with google cloud storage

I know it's possible to use Google API vision to find similar images on the web.
My goal is to find similar images based on my database of images.
I don't want similar images on the web.
Is it possible?
If yes, can you guide me with some links or some advices?
Thanks!
The Google Vision API web detection feature can be used only to return the contents of the image as they relate to the Google Knowledge Graph, as well as the image's relation to other pages and images on the web.
Based on this, it is not currently possible to use it by specifying your own database of images; However, I suggest you to use the Send Feedback button located at the lower left and upper right corners of the Detecting other features public documentation in order to notify to Google about this desired functionality.
You can upload your images to google cloud and do the job.
You have 2 choices: Google product search or AutoML. With product search you can compare an image with a set of images of products. You will find product form image.
You can also use AutoMl, upload some images and train them. You can predict images with AutoMl API in this case.

Adding the localizing pin in Google Maps

I understood that, in order to visualize an attraction or a commercial venue in Google Maps you use Maps JavaScript API. However this would be for maps that would be displayed on websites or mobile devices only?
How would it be possible to map and localize a feature in Google Maps, as these are accessed from Google website? I mean, is it possible to map and visualize something that would be accessible and visible to anyone opening Google Maps? A special request should be made to Google?
Thanks a lot

Can you change the view in Google Earth API from "Earth" to "Map" like in Google Maps?

I am developing a web page which uses the Google Earth plugin. I would like to display the map like in the first image with the "Earth" and "Satellite/Map" view options like you can in Google Maps, or at least be able to just show the map in "Satellite/Map" view:
Currently this is what the view looks like:
Is this possible?
Yes, you can use the Google Maps V3 to switch between Google Maps and the Google Earth Plug-in.
The google-maps-utility-library-v3 can be used to make this easier.
You can see a working example here.
Alternatively you can simulate a reasonable map view buy just turning of the terrain and photo imagery and turning on the borders and roads layers in the Earth Plug-in. If you then lock this view to 'plan' it works well.

rendering complicated images from google maps

Is there any way to capture the image from a complicated Google Maps with some customize overlays like heat gradient. See figures:
Google static map API can only generate static maps(images) with simple polylines or markers, in my situation this is apparently not enough, I want user to capture this kind of images and share it in there twitter fb of g+
see Google Maps image?, it is a similar question. But not so useful in my situation
It's not allowed. See here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#tos_screenshots
Use of Google Maps imagery in printed materials and offline media is
subject to the Permission Guidelines published at:
http://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html
you can request permission, but I don't think it's easy to obtain, unless you are a paying business customer.

google map custom markers in kmlLayer

I have a problem loading the google map custom markers in kmlLayer.
The custom markers become very tiny recently.
http://apdrc.soest.hawaii.edu/gg/rainSD2.php
It was working before. Does anyone know the problem on that?
Is that the google map API server problem?
Does google map API change the setting for custom markers size?
Thanks for helping.
Google announced a change to KML rendering that was scheduled to take place in mid-July. It wouldn't surprise me if this included support of the scale tag. Are your icons not standard sized? Should they be scaled?
Looking at your KML, you are scaling your icons:
<scale>0.25</scale>
If you apply that to your icons which are 32x32, they end up being 8x8, and the dot is already a pretty small chunk of the real estate.
If you change the scale to 1.0, I think it will display as you expect (once the cache on google's servers updates).
