How should my product images look like and how many do I have to provide?

It is not necessary for you to submit perfect studio-like images of your products. However, if you manage to supply images that clearly show your products' features and properties it will increase the algorithm's performance tremendously. It also helps a lot if you can supply images where your products appear in front of a uniform background. For some use cases and products, it also makes sense to add photos from varying angles. 

Do I need pictures from different angles?

Generally speaking, you do not need to provide photos from every different angle and with changing light conditions. nyris Visual Search deploys an array of robust computer vision and machine learning algorithms that will extract meaningful information from the data you provide. However, if your product has important visible features that cannot be captured within only one photo, it may make sense to append one or a few images more to your data feed to make sure we get the full picture of your product catalogue.
