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 a first item, the first item depicted in the image having an attribute that describes a characteristic of the first item and one or more attribute descriptors that correspond to the attribute of the first item and specify a value of the attribute;
- based on an image segmentation of the image, identifying the one or more attribute descriptors including identifying a design on the first item depicted in the image and prohibited information related to the one or more attribute descriptors;
- and
- transmitting, to a user device of a user of the network-based system, a recommendation of a second item having at least one attribute that matches the one or more attribute descriptors of the first item.
A method comprising:
- accessing, by a processor, an image on a network-based system that depicts a first item, the first item depicted in the image having an attribute that describes a characteristic of the first item and one or more attribute descriptors that correspond to the attribute of the first item and specify a value of the attribute;
- identifying, using the processor, the one or more attribute descriptors including identifying a design on the first item depicted in the image and prohibited information related to the one or more attribute descriptors, based on an image segmentation of the image;
- and
- transmitting, to a user device of a user of the network-based system, a recommendation of a second item having at least one attribute that matches the one or more attribute descriptors of the first item.
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 a first item on a network-based system, the first item depicted in the image having an attribute that describes a characteristic of the first item and one or more attribute descriptors that correspond to the attribute of the first item and specify a value of the attribute;
- based on an image segmentation of the image, identifying the one or more attribute descriptors including identifying a design on the first item depicted in the image and prohibited information related to the one or more attribute descriptors;
- and
- transmitting, to a user device of a user of the network-based system, a recommendation of a second item having at least one attribute that matches the one or more attribute descriptors of the first item.
