Method, medium, and system for creating a filtered image set for a product

摘要

Systems and methods for collecting, selecting, and displaying an image or image set in a network based environment are described. The systems and methods can collect multiple images for any given item from multiple sources, select a desired image (or set of images) that best depicts that item, and then display that selected image (or image set) in the network based environment. The desired image (or image set) that best depicts the item can be selected using any number or combination of pre-selected criteria. By using the pre-selected criteria, the process needs no manual intervention, and can therefore be automated or semi-automated to save both time and cost.

1. A computer-implemented method for selecting a set of images for display, the method comprising:
creating, using a computer processor, a target image set for a product by analyzing images in a first set of images based on one or more image metrics, wherein the first set of images includes images of the product from multiple sellers of the product; determining that the target image set portrays the product, wherein the determination is based on an analysis of at least one attribute of the product included in each image of the target image set; subsequent to the determination, receiving a request including at least one specified selection criteria for a filtered image set of the product; creating, using a computer processor, the filtered image set of the product by selecting images from the target image set based at least in part on the at least one specified selection criteria and an analysis of one or more pixels in one or more images of the target image set; and making the filtered image set available for display on a network.
