Application: Guided capture methodologies (Patent ID: US20240161162A1)
The patent filed by eBay Inc. describes a system that allows users to list products for sale on an online marketplace by capturing a video of the product from multiple perspectives, including a reference perspective. The system then extracts a subset of image frames from the video that depict the product from specific cardinal views determined relative to the reference perspective. These extracted image frames are used to generate an item listing for the product on the online marketplace. The method involves receiving user input, instructing the client device to capture the video, extracting specific image frames, and creating the item listing based on these frames.
Additionally, the system can determine angular offsets between perspectives, calculate perspective vectors, and consider image quality criteria when extracting image frames. The system can also determine cardinal views based on product type or category and provide instructions for capturing the video while moving or rotating the product. The apparatus includes a processor, memory, and instructions for executing the method, while the non-transitory computer-readable medium stores the code for implementing the process. Overall, the patent outlines a method and system for enhancing product listings on an online marketplace through the use of videos captured from specific perspectives.
