Abstract
Techniques for automated imaging of customizable products are disclosed. In one embodiment, survey photographic images of a customizable product having one or more markers affixed upon the customizable product are received. Camera positions relative to the customizable product are automatically determined based on the plurality of survey photographic images. Associations between the determined camera positions and customizable attributes of the customizable product are stored. Non-survey photographic images of the same customizable product without at least some of the one or more markers are obtained. Based on determining that a particular non-survey photographic image is from a camera position that is near a particular determined camera position relative to the customizable product, and based on a particular association between the particular determined camera position and the particular customizable attribute, first data representing the particular non-survey photographic image is stored in association with second data identifying the particular customizable attribute.
