Abstract
Provided are techniques for gesture-based image shape filtering. At least one keyword in a search request for an image is received. A first set of images that are candidate matches to the requested image are identified based on the at least one keyword. A gesture-based image for a filter request is received. The first set of images are filtered using the gesture-based image to identify a second set of images that are candidate matches to the requested image.
Claims24
A method, comprising:
- receiving, using a processor of a computer, at least one keyword in a search request for an image;
- identifying, using the processor of the computer, a first set of images that are candidate matches to the requested image based on the at least one keyword;
- receiving, using the processor of the computer, a gesture-based image for a filter request;
- and
- filtering, using the processor of the computer, the first set of images using the gesture-based image to identify a second set of images that are candidate matches to the requested image.
A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by at least one processor to:
- receive, by the at least one processor, at least one keyword in a search request for an image;
- identify, by the at least one processor, a first set of images that are candidate matches to the requested image based on the at least one keyword;
- receive, by the at least one processor, a gesture-based image for a filter request;
- and
- filter, by the at least one processor, the first set of images using the gesture-based image to identify a second set of images that are candidate matches to the requested image.
A computer system, comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories and one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
- and
- program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to:
- receive at least one keyword in a search request for an image;
- identify a first set of images that are candidate matches to the requested image based on the at least one keyword;
- receive a gesture-based image for a filter request;
- and
- filter the first set of images using the gesture-based image to identify a second set of images that are candidate matches to the requested image.
