Abstract: The development of computer deep learning and big data mining technology makes it possible to effectively extract the visual and content features of massive photos.Photo analysis has been widely used in e-commerce research.Through combing the related literatures of photo analysis,this paper reviews the methods and applications of photo feature extraction,puts forward an analysis framework based on the research and application of photo visual and content features,and systematically expounds the application status of photo analysis in the field of e-commerce.Through analysis,it is found that the existing related research mainly focuses on the influence of the visual or content features of photos on individual preference and consumption behavior.The effect of their combination remains to be further explored.And most of the research focuses on the general analysis of the photos posted by users on social networking sites,and lacks of further research on consumption behavior.Finally,it summarizes the future research and development direction of photo analysis in the field of e-commerce,which provides a certain reference for future research.

Key words: Deep learning, E-commerce, Photo analysis, Visual content analysis, Visual features
