A service server includes a product database configured to extract a label describing product details, map the label to a product, and store the label; a query processing unit configured to receive a query to request recommended product information related to a search target object from a user device, recognize the search target object from the received query, and obtain a query label from the recognized search target object; a feature label list providing unit configured to search the product database for one or more candidate recommended products, generate a feature label list based on feature labels selected among feature labels tagged on the one or more candidate recommended products, and provide the feature label list to the user device; and a product recommendation module configured to search the product database for a recommended product, and provide the recommended product information to the user device.

According to the present invention, in order to collate, without marking in advance, whether each container is a container to be deposited when collecting the container, this collation device is provided with: an object fingerprint database in which object fingerprint data extracted from image data of a product to be deposited is conserved; an object fingerprint data acquisition unit which acquires object fingerprint extracted from image data of the container; an object fingerprint data collation unit which collates the object fingerprint data extracted from the container image data with the object fingerprint data stored in the object fingerprint database, and generates deposit information according to the collation result; and a deposit information output unit which outputs, to an output source of object fingerprint data, the deposit information generated by the object fingerprint data collation unit.

Systems for profile management and control are provided. A system may receive an instrument or image of an instrument. In some examples, data may be extracted from the instrument or image of the instrument and a document profile may be retrieved based on the extracted data. Images within the document profile may be evaluated to identify a type of document for each document. In some examples, a total number of documents of each type may be determined or identified. The total number of documents may be compared to a threshold. If the total number of documents is below the threshold, the documents or images in the profile may be maintained. If the total number of documents is at or above the threshold, in some examples, each document may be further evaluated to determine or identify documents or document images for deletion. In some arrangements, the profile may be refreshed and documents or images identified for deletion may be deleted.

A computing system accesses an image-based document and a text document having text extracted from the image-based document and provides a user interface displaying at least a portion of the image-based document. In response to selection of a text portion of the image-based document, the system determines an occurrence of the text portion within at least a portion of the image-based document and then applies a search model on the text document to identify the same occurrence of the text portion. Once matched, alignment data indicating a relationship between a selected tag and both the text portion of the image-based document and the text portion of the text document is stored.

Approaches are described for shape-based graphics search. Each graphics object of a set of graphics objects is analyzed. The analyzing includes determining an outline of the graphics object from graphics data that forms the graphics object. The outline of the graphics object is sampled resulting in sampled points that capture the outline of the graphics object. A shape descriptor of the graphics object is determined which captures local and global geometric properties of the sampled points. Search results of a search query are determined based on a comparison between a shape descriptor of a user identified graphics object and the shape descriptor of at least one graphics object of the set of graphics objects. At least one of the search results can be presented on a user device associated with the search query.

Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for curating medical images for a medical image database. An example method for curating involves operating a processor to obtain a query medical image, assign the query medical image to an initial set of related images, and generate a similarity indicator for each image of the initial set. The similarity indicator is representative of a measure of similarity between image data of that image and the initial set. The processor is operable to define an intermediate set from the initial set based on the similarity indicators; and generate a relevancy indicator for each image of the intermediate set. The relevancy indicator is representative of a measure of the relevancy between relevance of the image and the intermediate set. The processor is operable to define a curated set of images from the intermediate set based on the relevancy indicators.
