Abstract

Various embodiments provide for recommending products from an electronic catalog that are aesthetically compatible with an existing item in a physical space based on a live camera view of the space, and rendering augmented reality views of the recommended products into the live camera view. Specifically, an image of the existing item is used to search a database of images of designed spaces that includes a corresponding object visually similar to the existing item. The image of the designed space may also include other items that are visually compatible with the corresponding object and therefore visually compatible with the existing item. Thus, the images of the other items are used to search an electronic catalog for available items that are visually similar to the other items and therefore would be visually compatible with the existing item.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

at least one computing device processor;
and
a memory device including instructions that, when executed by the at least one computing device processor, cause the system to:
receive a query from a client device, the query including image data from a live camera view of a physical environment comprising a query object captured using a camera of the client device;
detect a representation of the query object in the image data;
search a database of example environment images;
identify an example environment image from the database, the example environment image including a representation of a corresponding object having a certain degree of visual similarity as the query object;
detect representations of one or more additional objects in the example image;
receive a user input corresponding to a style preference selected from a plurality of style options;
receive user interaction data corresponding to feedback regarding with one or more previous items;
search an electronic catalog of items;
identify one or more items from the electronic catalog based at least in part on a combination of i) a measure of visual similarity with the one or more additional objects in the example environment image, ii) the style preference, and iii) the user interaction data;
and
provide the one or more items from the electronic catalog to the client device as search results in response to the query.

A system, comprising:

at least one computing device processor;
and
a memory device including instructions that, when executed by the at least one computing device processor, cause the system to:
receive a query from a client device;
detect a representation of a query object associated with the query;
determine an example image from a database of example images based on a measure of similarity between the representation of the query object and a representation of a corresponding object in the example image;
detect a representation of an additional object in the example image;
determine an item from a database of items based at least in part on a measure of similarity between the representation of the additional object and a representation of the item;
and
provide content associated with the item to the client device in response to the query.
