First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of automatically categorizing an input image comprising:
- extracting features of said input image and generating a signature vector representing said input image based on said extracted features; and
processing the signature vector using diverse classifiers to classify said input image based on the combined output of said diverse classifiers.

Abstract
A method of automatically categorizing an input image comprises extracting features of the input image and generating a signature vector representing the input image. The signature vector is processed using diverse classifiers to classify the input image based on the combined output of the diverse classifiers.

26. A method of creating a vector set used to train a neural network node comprising:
-
extracting features from training images; generating a signature vector for each training image based on said extracted features thereby to create a vector set for said training images; and adding additional vectors to said vector set based on a subset of said extracted features thereby to create an expanded vector set. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28)
