Yandex.Market released a new app for the iPhone. A program called “Remove clothing” is looking for things in the pictures: it is enough to take a picture or load a picture and it’ll find similar options on the Market, show prices, and if you see something you like — will help to buy it. Any found item is easy to postpone, and to read reviews or to learn the price of shipping — you can go to the Market.
“Remove the clothes” looking things with the help of computer vision technology developed at Yandex. According to the company, the neural network of this technology is trained on a sample of more than five million images. She is able to discern about 150 types of clothes and more than 250 attributes: color, style, style, and so on.
First, the algorithm determines that the photo — blue jacket, knitted sweater, say, or shorts in the box. Sometimes, there is just a lot of things — then he chooses to search for one or a few major ones.
If the photo blue jacket, the algorithm will compare her to all the pictures of the blue jackets on the Market and shall indicate in the application those goods, which images are most appropriate. Helps to compare different neural network trained to look for similar images.
The company said that “Remove the clothes” is an experiment Yandex.Market. While it is learning to look for similar things — a search technology improved, and user feedback will help to make it work better.
