Image similarity-based group browsing

This invention describes a computer system that helps you browse groups of visually similar items. You start by providing a picture of something you like. The system then lets you pick a specific visual feature, like color or pattern, and shows you other items that are similar based on that chosen feature, while also making sure they belong to the same type of product.

Why it matters: Filed before deep learning for image recognition was mature. Modern computer vision models can now automatically and accurately extract visual attributes and perform similarity searches at scale, making the core analysis much more robust and efficient.
