Automatic guided image capturing and presentation of images
Disclosed are embodiments for facilitating automatic-guided image capturing and presentation. In some embodiments, the method includes capturing an image of an item, removing a background of the image frame, performing manual mask editing, generating an item listing based on the manually edited mask, inferring item information from the image frame and applying the inferred item information to an item listing.
1. A method comprising:
receiving a first image of an item captured based at least in part on guidance to position the item within a bounded area of a user interface;
removing, by one or more processors, a portion of pixels in the first image of the item to generate a second image of the item, wherein the portion of pixels in the first image of the item are background pixels;
determining, by the one or more processors and from the second image of the item, a category of the item;
automatically selecting, by the one or more processors and based at least in part on the category of the item, a presentation layer from a plurality of presentation layers for presentation of the second image, wherein respective presentation layers of the plurality of presentation layers are associated with respective categories of items; and
causing presentation of the second image at the presentation layer of a network-based marketplace.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving user input associated with the presentation layer, wherein causing presentation of the second image at the presentation layer of the network-based marketplace comprises updating one or more characteristics of the presentation layer based at least in part on the user input.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more characteristics of the presentation layer include at least one of a style of the presentation layer or a color of the presentation layer.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein causing presentation of the second image at the presentation layer of the network-based marketplace comprises causing presentation of a virtual sale indicator at the presentation layer, wherein the virtual sale indicator includes a visual indicator associated with a price of the item.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving user input associated with a selection of the item via the presentation layer of the network-based marketplace; and
causing, in response to the user input, presentation of information associated with the item.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein causing presentation of the information comprises causing, based at least in part on filling at least part of an item listing using the information, presentation of the item listing for the item associated with the network-based marketplace, the item listing comprising the second image.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the information comprises a list of items associated with the item.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising causing presentation of the guidance in real-time, wherein the guidance includes instructions associated with a first boundary and a second boundary that define the bounded area of the user interface, and wherein the first boundary corresponds to the background pixels and the second boundary corresponds to an additional portion of pixels in the first image of the item that are foreground pixels.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising causing presentation of the guidance in real-time, wherein the guidance includes instructions associated with at least one of an environment of the item or a position of an additional item in the first image.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the presentation layer is automatically selected based at least in part on inferring information from the second image, and wherein the information comprises the category of the item and one or more characteristics of the item.
11. A system comprising:
at least one hardware processor; and
a computer-readable storage device storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving a first image of an item captured based at least in part on guidance to position the item within a bounded area of a user interface;
removing, by one or more processors, a portion of pixels in the first image of the item to generate a second image of the item, wherein the portion of pixels in the first image of the item are background pixels;
determining, by the one or more processors and from the second image of the item, a category of the item;
automatically selecting, by the one or more processors and based at least in part on the category of the item, a presentation layer from a plurality of presentation layers for presentation of the second image, wherein respective presentation layers of the plurality of presentation layers are associated with respective categories of items; and
causing presentation of the second image at the presentation layer of a network-based marketplace.
12. The system of claim 11 , the operations further comprising receiving user input associated with the presentation layer, wherein to cause presentation of the second image at the presentation layer of the network- based marketplace, the operations comprise updating one or more characteristics of the presentation layer based at least in part on the user input.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more characteristics of the presentation layer include at least one of a style of the presentation layer or a color of the presentation layer.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein to cause presentation of the second image at the presentation layer of the network-based marketplace, the operations comprise causing presentation of a virtual sale indicator at the presentation layer, wherein the virtual sale indicator includes a visual indicator associated with a price of the item.
15. The system of claim 11 , the operations further comprising:
receiving user input associated with a selection of the item via the presentation layer of the network-based marketplace; and
causing, in response to the user input, presentation of additional information associated with the item.
16. The system of claim 11 , the operations further comprising causing presentation of the guidance in real-time, wherein the guidance includes instructions associated with a first boundary and a second boundary that define the bounded area of the user interface, and wherein the first boundary corresponds to the background pixels and the second boundary corresponds to an additional portion of pixels in the first image of the item that are foreground pixels.
17. The system of claim 11 , the operations further comprising causing presentation of the guidance in real-time, wherein the guidance includes instructions associated with at least one of an environment of the item or a position of an additional item in the first image.
18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by at least one hardware processor, cause a system to perform operations comprising:
receiving a first image of an item captured based at least in part on guidance to position the item within a bounded area of a user interface;
removing, by one or more processors, a portion of pixels in the first image of the item to generate a second image of the item, wherein the portion of pixels in the first image of the item are background pixels;
determining, by the one or more processors and from the second image of the item, a category of the item;
automatically selecting, by the one or more processors and based at least in part on the category of the item, a presentation layer from a plurality of presentation layers for presentation of the second image, wherein respective presentation layers of the plurality of presentation layers are associated with respective categories of items; and
causing presentation of the second image at the presentation layer of a network-based marketplace.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , the operations further comprising receiving user input associated with the presentation layer, wherein to cause presentation of the second image at the presentation layer of the network-based marketplace, the operations comprise updating one or more characteristics of the presentation layer based at least in part on the user input.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein to cause presentation of the second image at the presentation layer of the network-based marketplace, the operations comprise causing presentation of a virtual sale indicator at the presentation layer, wherein the virtual sale indicator includes a visual indicator associated with a price of the item.
