  • Publication number: 20230385360
    Abstract: A search system performs item searches using morphed images. A morphed image is generated using a generative model operating on two or more images of objects. A first search is performed on an item database using the morphed image as search input to identify one or more search results, which are provided for presentation. A selection of a first search result from the one or more search results is received. A further morphed image is generated using the generative model operating on an image corresponding to the first search result. A second search is performed on the item database using the further morphed image as search input to identify one or more further search results, which are provided for presentation.

  • Patent number: 11816174
    Abstract: A search system performs item searches using morphed images. Given two or more input images of objects, the search system uses a generative model to generate one or more morphed images. Each morphed image shows an object of the object type of the input images. Additionally, the object in each morphed image combines visual characteristics of the objects in the input images. The morphed images may be presented to a user, who may select a particular morphed image for searching. A search is performed using a morphed image to identify items that are visually similar to the object in the morphed image. Search results for the items identified from the search are returned for presentation.
