    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for creating contour images that represent the contour of objects reflected in images, calculating contour histogram descriptors of the contour images, and classifying images based in part on the histogram descriptors of the contour images. For example, a contour image of an image is created. A radial-polar grid having a plurality of radial-polar bins is then positioned on the contour image. A contour histogram descriptor is created to include a number of bins that correspond to the radial-polar bins of the radial-polar grid, where the contents of the bins of the contour histogram descriptor represent the number of pixels of the contour image that are located in the corresponding radial-polar bins of the radial-polar grid. Images are classified at least based in part on comparisons between contour histogram descriptors of the images and contour histogram descriptors of training images.

    摘要: Shape-based search of a collection of content associated with one or more images of inventory items (“inventory images”) is enabled at least in part by associating the collection of content and/or its associated inventory images with representative refinement shapes. Inventory items may be grouped into categories and at least one refinement shape may be created for each of the categories. A refinement-shape hierarchy may be created by arranging the refinement shapes into parent and child refinement shapes. Inventory images may be associated to at least one of the refinement shapes of the refinement-shape hierarchy based at least in part on similarities between the refinement shapes and shapes of the inventory items reflected in the inventory images.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for calculating and using histogram descriptors to compare images and to identify visually similar content. According to at least one embodiment, multiple histograms descriptors are calculated for individual images of a collection of content. These histogram descriptors may be used to identify two or more visually similar images in the collection of content. For example, if a user identifies an image of an item of interest, then embodiments search across the collection of content to identify other images of items that are visually similar to the selected item of interest. To do so, embodiments search across the histogram descriptors of the images in the collection of content to identify one or more images that have histograms descriptors that are similar to the histograms descriptors of the image of the selected item of interest.
