Selected image subset based search

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium coupled to the one or more processors, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive a first user input comprising image data;
• provide a representation of the image data for display;
• receive a second user input comprising a user selection with respect to the displayed representation of the image data, the user selection identifying a first selected image subset of the image data, the first selected image subset representing a search query for initiating an image search;
• determine a collection of images relevant to one or more features of the image data;
• compare feature vectors of images in the collection of images to a feature vector of the first selected image subset;
• and
• generate search results associated with the image search based on comparison results of the comparison between the feature vector of the first selected image subset and the feature vectors of the images.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium coupled to a processor, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

• provide a user interface for display via an application of a client device;
• receive a first user input comprising first image data, the first image data identifying a representation of one or more objects;
• provide a representation of the first image data for display in an input section of the user interface;
• receive a second user input comprising a user selection associated with the displayed representation of the first image data, the user selection identifying selection of at least a portion of the displayed representation of the first image data within a two-dimensional bounding box;
• determine coordinates of the two-dimensional bounding box relative to the displayed representation of the first image data;
• provide a request to a storage service for second image data, the request identifying the user selection;
• receive second image data from the storage service based on the user selection, the second image data being a raw image version of the first image data;
• generate a first selected image subset of the second image data based on the determined coordinates, the first selected image subset corresponding to the selection of the at least a portion of the displayed representation of the first image data, the first selected image subset representing a search query for initiating an image search;
• provide a representation of the first selected image subset for display in the input section;
• extract a feature vector of the first selected image subset;
• compare feature vectors of one or more images in a collection of images to the feature vector of the first selected image subset;
• generate search results associated with the image search based on comparison results of the comparison between the feature vector of the first selected image subset and the feature vectors of the one or more images;
• and
• provide for display the search results in an output section of the user interface.
