Case Study: AI Product Photography for a Million-SKU Catalog

Design the batch pipeline that turns one seller phone photo into studio-quality listing and ad images — the segment-then-generate cascade that keeps product pixels sacred

Model interview answer for AI product photography (Amazon ad-image generator / Shopify Magic / Photoroom-class): why the right design is segment-first (a U²-Net/BiRefNet-class matting model, discriminative and cheap) then background generation conditioned on the cutout, never end-to-end regeneration of the product, argued from a fidelity constraint the GAN-vs-diffusion comparison table alone doesn't resolve; product-region invariance as the case's non-negotiable evaluation gate; mask-distribution and template-library vocabulary reused from the generative-fill case; and a genuinely batch-offline scalability story — throughput-optimized GPU batching, template reuse, spot instances and an automatic regenerate loop — that is deliberately unlike the interactive cases (virtual try-on, generative fill) already written in this track.
