How the prototype reads real fabric photos.

Prototype logic: every fabric has a clean swatch reference, a real camera-angle reference, and the original paired example sheet. Uploaded photos are compared against all references, including left/right crop variants for paired images.

Accuracy framing: this is still a prototype similarity system, not a guaranteed production AI model. The important improvement is that it is now trained on real angle examples instead of only flat catalog images.

Production path: precompute embeddings on the backend, store them in a vector database, add metadata filters, and keep adding real good-match/bad-match feedback from designers.
