Abstract
The techniques described herein may identify images that likely depict one or more items by comparing features of the items to features of different regions-of-interest (ROIs) of the images. For instance, some of the images may include a user, and the techniques may define multiple regions within the image corresponding to different portions of the user. The techniques may then use a trained convolutional neural network or any other type of trained classifier to determine, for each region of the image, whether the region depicts a particular item. If so, the techniques may designate the corresponding image as depicting the item and may output an indication that the image depicts the item. The techniques may perform this process for multiple images, outputting an indication of each image deemed to depict the particular item.
