Product image generation system

A method comprising:

• identifying, via hardware processing circuitry, a template for a category of products, the template defining locations of attributes of products belonging to the category;
• identifying, via the hardware processing circuitry, common attributes of products of the category based on the template;
• averaging, via the hardware processing circuitry, corresponding pixel values across images representing the products having the common attributes;
• generating, via the hardware processing circuitry, a new product image representing a new product based on the averaged pixel values;
• and
• generating, via the hardware processing circuitry, a modified new product image by varying attributes of the new product based on the locations of the attributes defined by the template.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed configure hardware processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:

• identifying a template for a category of products, the template defining locations of attributes of products belonging to the category;
• identifying at least one common attribute of products of the category based on the template;
• averaging corresponding pixel values across images representing the products having the at least one common attribute;
• generating a new product image representing a new product based on the averaged pixel values;
• and
• generating a modified new product image by varying attributes of the new product based on the locations of the attributes defined by the template.
