Abstract

In this paper, we present a new example based approach to search for a particular product based on its visual properties. A user can take a photo of a product package with a cell-phone or webcam and submit it to an online shopping portal for finding the product details. We search a product image database for the distinctive visual features on the query image to locate the desired product. We use PCA-SIFT feature for robust retrieval, to account for possible imperfections in the query image due to uncontrolled user environment. We use Oracle Java R-Tree to index image features to realize a scalable system. We establish robustness and scalability of our approach by conducting several experiments on fairly large prototype implementations.
