Abstract
A system for processing a seller provided input image depicting an object. The system may process the input images to be in compliance with an online shopping website's image requirements. The image processing service may execute multiple modules on the input image. An edge detection module may detect one or more edges of the image of the object and determine border data indicative of a border around the object. An object of interest module may extract the image of the object within the border to generate an object of interest image. A background extraction module may create one or more closed shapes to separate the image of the object from background pixels. A hole detection module may traverse the one or more closed shapes to determine a presence of background pixels, remove the background pixels, and generate a resulting image.
