Abstract

Features are disclosed for processing composite images. Composite images may be received that include a common item such as a t-shirt with different graphics overlaid on the item. Features for detecting such composite images by comparing shape and color features of an uploaded image to previously detected composite images are described. Composite images including the common item may be grouped into clusters. The clustered images can then be processed as a group such as to separate the graphics from the underlying image and to make authorization determinations for inclusion in an online catalog system.
