  • Automatic correlation of items and adaptation of item attributes using object recognition
    Patent number: 10963687
    Abstract: The technology includes an example method for parsing data to determine corollary objects and adapt attributes of the corollary objects using the data. In some implementations, the method may include receiving one or more images, performing text recognition to determine recognized text in the one or more images, and determining data cells containing information associated with a first item. The method may then classify one or more of the determined data cells, and may identify key cells in the determined data cells based on the classification of the one or more determined data cells. Correlations between information contained in the key cells and a second item, the second item including an interchangeable item to the first item may be determined, and the method may adjust attributes associated with the second item based on defined parameters and the recognized text.
