I work in the same market as Lyst, and can say for a fact that the images variations we get from clients even from renowned fashion houses is huge. By variations I mean compression, quality, subject's clarity and the list just goes on...
A good algorithm would surely solve part of the problem, but given the imagery non-uniform patterns a great deal of resources (engineering skills + computing power) would likely be required. Given Lyst's recent VC rounds maybe they can afford that, but I surely cannot.
So I went for the poor-man option: https://gist.github.com/mvsantos/5554663 https://gist.github.com/mvsantos/5554663

- troels 13y agoFunny - I'm in the same domain and I have found that product images are generally high quality and somewhat uniform. You can usually find the product placed front and centre and with few distractions (Most images have either white or light grey background).
- msantos 13y agoRenowned fashion houses overall do a great job, except when they add gradient or shadows to mask stuff. But the bulk of the problem, in my case, comes from large department stores when they blend furniture or accessories in fashion photoshoots making them complex and distracting from the main image subject.
