Abstract
In an example embodiment, a method of identifying an item depicted in an image is provided. In this method, the image depicting the item is accessed; in addition, other images and their item identifiers are also accessed. A match of the image with one of the other images is identified. The match can be based on a variety of matching techniques, such as the application of an edge detection algorithm and the conversion of the images into color histograms. With a match, the image is then associated with an item identifier of the matched image. In one example, a template associated with one of the item identifiers can be accessed.
