US 12,592,074 B2 · System and method for aggregating metadata for item identification using digital image processing

Abstract

A system for identifying items based on aggregated metadata obtains images of an item. The system extracts a set of features from images of the item. The system identifies a first value of a first feature associated with a first image of the item. The system identifies a second value of the first feature associated with a second image of the item. The system aggregates the first value and the second value. The system associates the item to the aggregated first value and the second value, where the aggregated first value and the second value represent the first feature of the item. The system adds a new entry for each image of the item to a training dataset associated with an item identification model.

Dependent claims

A system for identifying items based on aggregated metadata, comprising:

a memory operable to store a plurality of images of an item, wherein each image from among the plurality of images shows a different side of the item;
a processor, operably coupled with the memory, and configured to:
obtain the plurality of images of the item;
extract a set of features from each of a first image and a second image from among the plurality of images, wherein each of the set of features represents a physical attribute of the item;
for a first feature from among the set of features:
identify a first value of the first feature associated with the first image of the item;
identify a second value of the first feature associated with the second image;
aggregate the first value with the second value;
and
associate the item with the aggregated first value and second value, wherein the aggregated first value and second value represent the first feature of the item;
and
identify the item based at least in part upon the aggregated first value and second value.

A method for identifying items based on aggregated metadata, comprising:

obtaining a plurality of images of an item;
extracting a set of features from each of a first image and a second image from among the plurality of images, wherein each of the set of features represents a physical attribute of the item;
for a first feature from among the set of features:
identifying a first value of the first feature associated with the first image of the item;
identifying a second value of the first feature associated with the second image;
aggregating the first value with the second value;
and
associating the item with the aggregated first value and second value, wherein the aggregated first value and second value represent the first feature of the item;
and
identifying the item based at least in part upon the aggregated first value and second value.

7 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

obtain a plurality of images of an item;
extract a set of features from each of a first image and a second image from among the plurality of images, wherein each of the set of features represents a physical attribute of the item;
for a first feature from among the set of features:
identify a first value of the first feature associated with the first image of the item;
identify a second value of the first feature associated with the second image;
aggregate the first value with the second value;
and
associate the item with the aggregated first value and second value, wherein the aggregated first value and second value represent the first feature of the item;
and
identify the item based at least in part upon the aggregated first value and second value.
