Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for identifying the brand and model of products embedded within an image. One method includes operations for receiving, via a graphical user interface (GUI), a selection of an image, and for analyzing the image to determine a location within the image of one or more products. For each product in the image, determining a unique identification of the product is determined, the unique identification including a manufacturer of the product and a model identifier. The method further includes an operation for presenting information about the one or more products in the GUI with a selection option for selecting each of the one or more products. Additionally, the method includes operations for receiving a product selection for one of the one or more products, and presenting shopping options in the GUI for purchasing the selected product.

Abstract: Systems and methods can be implemented to conduct a visual search as a service in a variety of applications. In various embodiments, a system is configured to provide searching capabilities of content provided by a first entity in response to a search request by a second entity. An image provided by the second entity can be used by the system as a query image to search the content of the first entity. In an embodiment, the first entity can be a commercial entity providing such a system with image related content regarding its products and services such that any number of individual consumers can search for particular products and services of the commercial entity via their communication enabled devices. In addition, such systems can be arranged for other embodiments to provide customized searches of a single source by many individual devices. Additional systems and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods can be implemented to conduct searches based on images used as queries in a variety of applications. In various embodiments, a set of visual words representing a query image are generated from features extracted from the query image and are compared with visual words of index images. A set of candidate images is generated from the index images resulting from matching one or more visual words in the comparison. A multi-level ranking is conducted to sort the candidate images of the set of candidate images, and results of the multi-level ranking are returned to a user device that provided the query image. Additional systems and methods are disclosed.
