Image-Based Buying (3UH)

This scope item covers the process to order and procure an item based on an image. If the image is available already in the cross catalog, recommendations can be provided based on similar images and patterns. Similar images can be detected by normalizing images to increase the likelihood of finding similarities. Images can be added into the shopping cart from a laptop. Alternately, a dedicated image-based app can create a draft shopping cart and, subsequently, a purchase requisition.
