Embodiment Construction

[0019] Computer vision object (e.g., people, animals, landmarks, etc.), texture, and / or scene classification (e.g., photos, videos, etc.) in images may be useful for including photo and / or video recognition, image search, product related search, etc. Current classification methods include training classifiers based on supervised or labeled data. This approach is not scalable or extensible. Furthermore, current classification methods exploit local image features (e.g., HOG) to learn common sense knowledge (e.g., eyes are part of a person) or specific sub-labels of a general label (e.g., a general label for horse includes subclasses of brown horse, riding horse, etc. Label). However, using local image features (eg, HOG) is computationally intensive. That said, current data mining techniques require a substantial investment in computer resources and are not scalable and / or scalable.

Abstract

Optimizing multi-class image classification by leveraging patch-based features extracted from weakly supervised images to train classifiers is described. A corpus of images associated with a set of labels may be received. One or more patches may be extracted from individual images in the corpus. Patch-based features may be extracted from the one or more patches and patch representations may be extracted from individual patches of the one or more patches. The patches may be arranged into clusters based at least in part on the patch-based features. At least some of the individual patches may be removed from individual clusters based at least in part on determined similarity values that are representative of similarity between the individual patches. The system may train classifiers based in part on patch-based features extracted from patches in the refined clusters. The classifiers may be used to accurately and efficiently classify new images.

Description

Background technique [0001] Computer vision can include object recognition, object classification, object class detection, image classification, etc. Object recognition may describe finding a particular object (eg, a handbag of a particular make, a face of a particular person, etc.). Object classification and object class detection can describe finding objects that belong to a particular classification or class (e.g. faces, shoes, cars, etc.). Image classification can describe the assignment of an entire image to a particular classification or class (eg, place recognition, texture classification, etc.). Computer object recognition, detection, and / or classification using images is challenging because real-world objects vary widely in visual appearance. For example, objects associated with a single label (e.g., cats, dogs, cars, houses, etc.) exhibit diversity in terms of color, shape, size, viewing angle, lighting, etc. [0002] Some current object detection, recognition and...
