Abstract
Individualized icon elements are provided to a development team implementing a user interface or other image content for a new software application. A computer system receives an electronic document representing an image mockup from a designer, and scans the electronic document to identify mock icons. The mock icons are matched to corresponding icons in a digital icon repository. Each icon in the repository has associated metadata such as file name, description, file format, location, etc. Icons may be available with different file formats. The corresponding icons are provided with associated metadata in a form which is selectable by a developer. Corresponding icons may be provided by displaying icon images with respective confidence values representing an estimated likelihood of matching. A desired icon can be selected for inclusion in an icon package, and thereafter be removed from the list of available icons in the icon repository for the current project.
