Processing image using narrowed search space based on textual context to detect items in the image

Abstract:

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for identifying products that are implicitly published in an image, e.g., where there is no identifying text or comments that identify the brand of the product. A product entity may be identified based on comments posted in response to the posting of the image. An analysis of the image may be performed based on the identified product entity to find items or products of a type of the identified product entity in the image. A product detected in the image may be compared to a database of products of the type of product entity to determine which product was posted in the image.
