Image recognition artificial intelligence system for ecommerce

Imagine you see something you like and want to buy it online, but you don't know what it's called. This system lets you upload a picture of that item, and an AI then looks through a database to find other images that look similar, showing them to you on a webpage. From there, you can pick an item, but the invention as described in the claims is specifically for selecting items that will be 3D printed.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of highly accurate, off-the-shelf image recognition APIs and models. The core AI components are now much easier to implement, and the 3D printing ecosystem has matured.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
How hard to build: SpecializedImage recognition AI, database, web interface, software logic.
