Abstract: A visual commerce engine can provide information related to an object based on an image of the object. The visual commerce engine receives from a user device an image of an object and a location within the image associated with the object, and analyzes the image to detect potential objects depicted in the image. From this set a detected object can be selected based on the received location's proximity to any of the detected potential objects. A description of the detected object can then be determined and compared with a library of objects to identify similar, identical, or related objects.
