Abstract
A metadata extraction machine accesses an image that depicts an item. The item depicted in the image may have an attribute that describes a characteristic of the item and an attribute descriptor that corresponds to the attribute of the item and specifies a value of the attribute. The metadata extraction machine performs an analysis of the image. The analysis may include identifying the attribute descriptor corresponding to the attribute based on image segmentation of the image. The metadata extraction machine transmits a communication to a device of a user based on the identifying of the attribute descriptor corresponding to the attribute of the item depicted in the image.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- accessing an image on a network-based system that depicts an item, the item depicted in the image having an attribute that describes a characteristic of the item and an attribute descriptor that corresponds to the attribute of the item and specifies a value of the attribute;
- based on an image segmentation of the image, identifying the attribute descriptor including identifying a design on the item depicted in the image and prohibited information related to the attribute descriptor;
- and
- removing the image from the network-based system based on the prohibited information.
A method comprising:
- accessing, by a processor, an image on a network-based system that depicts an item, the item depicted in the image having an attribute that describes a characteristic of the item and an attribute descriptor that corresponds to the attribute of the item and specifies a value of the attribute;
- based on an image segmentation of the image identifying, using the processor, the attribute descriptor including identifying a design on the item depicted in the image and prohibited information related to the attribute descriptor;
- and
- removing the image from the network-based system based on the prohibited information.
A non-transitory storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:
- accessing an image that depicts an item on a network-based system, the item depicted in the image having an attribute that describes a characteristic of the item and an attribute descriptor that corresponds to the attribute of the item and specifies a value of the attribute;
- based on an image segmentation of the image, identifying the attribute descriptor including identifying a design on the item depicted in the image and prohibited information related to the attribute descriptor;
- and
- removing the image from the network-based system based on the prohibited information.
