Sounds impressive. Do you have a pre-existing product database that you match them up to or do you just create products on the fly?

I would strongly guess it's a fixed set of product images they're training against, possibly attained by massive scraping. Another part of training or processing might consist of a reverse image search API, like TinEye, and gathering metadata from the pages containing the result images.
We do our own searching and wrote our own crawlers. Does that answer your question?
It does indeed. I'm very impressed. Keep up the good work!
