Abstract
Solutions for localizing relevant objects in multi-object images include receiving a multi-object image; detecting a plurality of detected objects within the multi-object image; generating a primary heatmap for the multi-object image, the primary heatmap having at least one region of interest; determining a relevant detected object corresponding to a region of interest in the primary heatmap; determining an irrelevant detected object not corresponding to a region of interest in the primary heatmap; and indicating the relevant detected object as an output result but not indicating the irrelevant detected object as an output result. Some examples identify a plurality of objects that are visually similar to the relevant object and displaying the visually similar objects to a user, for example as recommendations of alternative catalog items on an e-commerce website. Some examples are able to identify a plurality of relevant objects and display multiple sets of visually similar objects.
