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:
- an access module configured to access an image 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;
- an identification module comprising one or more hardware processors and configured to perform an analysis of the image, the analysis including identifying the attribute descriptor corresponding to the attribute based on image segmentation of the image;
- and
- a communication module configured to transmit 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.
A method comprising:
- accessing an image 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;
- performing, using one or more hardware processors, an analysis of the image, the analysis including identifying the attribute descriptor corresponding to the attribute based on image segmentation of the image;
- and
- transmitting 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.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more hardware processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- accessing an image 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;
- performing an analysis of the image, the analysis including identifying the attribute descriptor corresponding to the attribute based on image segmentation of the image;
- and
- transmitting 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.
