Abstract

Techniques for generating representative images are disclosed herein. In particular, various embodiments utilize an image generation service to generate representative images for categories and sub-categories of objects. Each representative image can be a stylized depiction of an aggregated image corresponding to a particular category of objects. A user can refine the search, or continue to browse, by selecting one of the representative images. This enables users to quickly identify features the user is looking for or would like to exclude, by depicting the sort of objects associated with that category.
