Techniques and systems are described that leverage computer vision as part of search to expand functionality of a computing device available to a user and increase operational computational efficiency as well as efficiency in user interaction. In a first example, user interaction with items of digital content is monitored. Computer vision techniques are used to identify digital images in the digital content, objects within the digital images, and characteristics of those objects. This information is used to assign a user to a user segment of a user population which is then used to control output of subsequent digital content to the user, e.g., recommendations, digital marketing content, and so forth.

A system automatically generates apparel collection imagery from user-provided imagery. The user-provided imagery includes images of people wearing one or more garments. The system uses segmenting analysis to analyze the user-provided image to identify locations of the garment. From the locations of the garments, the system can determine which garments from an apparel collection can be used to replace those in the user-provided imagery. The system uses pose estimation on the user-provided imagery and modifies a preview image of a replacement garment from the collection. This modified replacement garment image is used to replace the garment in the user-provided imagery.

A system described herein uses data obtained from a wearable device of a first user to identify a second user and/or to determine that the first user is within a threshold distance of the second user. The system can then access an account of the second user to identify one or more items and retrieve model data for the item(s). The system causes the wearable device of the first user to render, for display in an immersive 3D environment (e.g., an augmented reality environment), an item associated with the account of the second user. The item can be rendered for display at a location on a display that is proximate to the second user (e.g., within a threshold distance of the second user) such that the item graphically corresponds to the second user. The item rendered for display may be an item of interest to the first user.

In some embodiments, a system and a computer-implemented method for role-based collaborative design based on manufacturing constraints are disclosed. A method comprises: receiving, at a computer collaboration system, an electronic digital editing invitation from a first user interface that executes on a first user device associated with a first user, the editing invitation comprising inviting a second user to collaborate on a digital electronic interactive design as an editor, the interactive design comprising a graphical visual representation of a physical product that is capable of custom manufacture with a plurality of variable product attributes; transmitting to a second user device of the second user, the product description data for rendering the interactive design in a second user interface executing on the second user device; receiving a first modification to the interactive design from the second user interface; automatically generating a first updated product description data based on the first modification.

Systems and methods are described for providing an item resolution service. Users may add entries to an electronic list (e.g., a grocery list), via voice input, text message, or other input to a mobile, desktop, or web application. The list entries may contain general descriptions (e.g., “milk,” “eggs,” “bread,” etc.) that can be associated with various items available from various suppliers. The item resolution service may determine, for individual list entries, a specific item based on factors such as the user who created the entry, the order or browsing history of that user, the geographic location of another user (e.g., a user who is currently located at a particular grocery store), or other factors. The list entries may thus be converted to items in an electronic shopping cart, which may then be ordered for delivery, in-store pickup, or presented in a manner that facilitates acquiring the items in person.

An on-demand manufacturing of apparel system includes online customization and ordering of garments, previewing of the garments, manufacturing including laser finishing of garments, and delivery to the customer. Laser finishing of apparel products reduces finishing cost, lowers carrying costs, increases productivity, shortens time to market, be more reactive to trends, reduces product constraints, reduces lost sales and dilution, and more. Fabric templates can be used to produce a multitude of laser finishes. Operational efficiency is improved.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for automatic packaging determination comprising memory storing instructions and at least one processor performing steps comprising: receiving an order comprising at least one item; searching at least one data store to determine tags and properties associated with each item; sorting the items into at least one group; for each group: performing an optimization process for packaging the items in the group, by: selecting a data structure representing a first package; iteratively simulating packaging of a largest item of the group into the first package until all items are packaged, wherein if the simulating determines that the items in the group do not fit into the selected package: choosing a larger package, iteratively packing until all items are packed in the larger package; and generating set of instructions for packaging the items into the box; and sending the generated instructions for display.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, systems, computer program products for transferring a performance of a procedure found in technical documentation for an item via an interactive electronic technical manual system (IETM) configured to provide electronic and credentialed access to the technical documentation. In one embodiment, a method is provided comprising: providing the steps of the procedure in an order in which the steps are to be carried out; and while a user is participating in the performance of the procedure: causing a particular step that is being carried out to be highlighted; receiving input of a selection of a transfer mechanism and in response: causing an indication to be displayed between the particular step and a next step to be carried out identifying where the performance has been suspended; providing a transfer window displaying transfer information; and recording the transfer information and an identifier for the indication.

A visual search recommendation engine utilizes an image quality indication model for a visual search recommendation. Specifically, the visual search recommendation engine receives a search image as a search query at a search engine. The visual search recommendation engine provides the search image as an input into the image quality indication model, which is trained to output an image quality indication based on image aspects of the search image. A plurality of images are identified from an image corpus. The visual search recommendation engine determines an image similarity based on a comparison between the plurality of images from the image corpus and the search image. The image quality indication and the image similarity indicate a search query performance for the search image. A first image exceeding the search query performance is identified. The first image is provided for display at the search engine.

Systems and methods are provided for rendering a first interface for presentation by a user computing device based on a first user input and information received over a network. The first interface can include item information. Additional item information may be stored at the user computing device at the time that the first interface is processed, but not initially displayed. Based on receiving a second user input, a second interface can be displayed that includes the additional item information, where the second interface may be displayed over a first portion of the first interface such that the first user interface remains accessible. The second interface may be populated with portions of the previously stored additional item information without necessarily obtaining further information over the network.
