Publication number: 20190294627Abstract: A product image evaluation system. In embodiments, the system comprises or interacts with a product database comprising a product information record that comprises a product identifier and a product category for a product, and an image database comprising a plurality of candidate images for the product. In embodiments the image database can comprise images received from a plurality of different sources. The system can comprise a parameterized grouping engine configured to separate images into groups of similar images, an image selector configured to select one or more images from each group, and an image sorter configured to determine an order of the selected images. Embodiments can distill the superset of all available images to provide a set of images that are “sufficiently different” from each other and satisfy quality requirements. As a result, no images containing unique information are left behind, and images containing duplicate or irrelevant information are discarded.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2019Publication date: September 26, 2019Inventors: Abon Chaudhuri, Ajinkya More, Alessandro Magnani, Paolo Messina
