VISUAL CLOTHING RETRIEVAL
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- segmenting an image into a plurality of image segments;
clustering one or more image segments from the plurality of image segments into one or more image segment clusters, wherein at least one of the one or more image segment clusters comprises two or more visually similar image segments;
for a particular image segment cluster of the one or more image segment clusters;
determining, for the particular image segment cluster, a particular product class of a plurality of product classes;
retrieving, from an image database, one or more product images that are associated with the particular product class and that are selected based on a visual similarity between the one or more product images and the particular image segment cluster;
wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.

Abstract
Techniques are provided for efficiently identifying relevant product images based on product items detected in a query image. In general, a query image may represent a digital image in any format that depicts a human body and one or more product items. For example, a query image may be an image for display on a webpage, an image captured by a user using a camera device, or an image that is part of a media content item, such as a frame from a video. Product items may be detected in a query image by segmenting the query image into a plurality of image segments and clustering one or more of the plurality image segments into one or more image segment clusters. The resulting image segments and image segment clusters may be used to search for visually similar product images.
