Researchers have developed a novel system for visually analyzing large collections of watches, moving beyond traditional metadata filtering. This system utilizes a multi-attribute latent space that combines separate attribute graphs for dial color and dial design, alongside watch type as a semantic organizer. Dials are segmented using a U-Net, watch types are predicted with a Vision Transformer, and colors are mapped using a CIELAB reference palette, with dial structure described by a gradient-based image descriptor. The approach extends UMAP to integrate attribute-specific neighborhood graphs and a class-aware layout term, enabling spatial navigation, metadata filtering, and search-by-example functionalities within an interactive interface.
