AI Technical Summary
Conventional image caption generation systems for connected cars do not effectively create a database of vehicle images associated with natural-sounding descriptions that match user search queries, failing to consider the presence or absence of relevant objects based on traffic scenes, which hinders accurate image retrieval.
A metadata generation system that includes a processing unit generating metadata from images using a table with columns for object information and descriptive text, utilizing a large-scale language model to analyze traffic scenes and generate natural-sounding descriptions, and a necessity table to determine which objects to include or exclude based on traffic scenarios.
Enables the creation of a database with natural-sounding descriptions that improve search accuracy by including or excluding relevant objects based on traffic scenes, enhancing the matching of user search queries and improving image retrieval efficiency.
