US 10,540,390 B1 · Image-based item identification

Abstract

Systems and methods for image-based item identification are disclosed. Image data corresponding to one or more images depicting an item may be sent to one or more remote systems for image-based item identification. The identification indications and/or identification confidence scores received from the remote systems may be aggregated and weighted based at least in part on one or more factors related to the remote systems, the results, domains, image capture timing, image capture angles, and/or events to more accurately identify an item depicted in the images.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving image data;
sending a first instance of the image data to a first remote system;
sending a second instance of the image data to a second remote system;
receiving, from the first remote system, first data representing a first identity of an item associated with the image data;
receiving, from the second remote system, second data representing a second identity of the item;
and
identifying the item based at least in part on analysis of the first data and the second data.

4 more elements

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
sending a first instance of first image data to a first remote system, the first image data representing an item captured at a first angle;
sending a second instance of the first image data to a second remote system;
sending a first instance of second image data to the first remote system, the second image data representing the item captured at a second angle;
sending a second instance of the second image data to the second remote system;
receiving, from the first remote system, first data including:
a first identity of the item based at least in part on the first image data;
and
a second identity of the item based at least in part on the second image data;
receiving, from the second remote system, second data including:
a third identity of the item based at least in part on the first image data;
and
a fourth identity of the item based at least in part on the second image data;
and
identifying the item based at least in part on analysis of the first data and the second data.

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving image data representing an image depicting an item;
sending a first instance of the image data to a first remote system;
sending a second instance of the image data to a second remote system;
receiving, from the first remote system, first data representing a first identity of the item depicted in the image;
receiving, from the second remote system, second data representing a second identity of the item depicted in the image;
analyzing the first data and the second data;
and
identifying the item based at least in part on the analyzing.
