Multi-Classifier Selection and Monitoring for MMR-based Image Recognition
First Claim
1. A method of classifier set prediction, comprising:
- dividing a future time interval into a plurality of minimum subintervals; and
for a selected minimum subinterval;
retrieving data for one or more historic time intervals corresponding to the selected minimum subinterval; and
determining a best performing classifier set for the one or more historic time intervals corresponding to the selected minimum subinterval.

Abstract
A MMR system that uses multiple classifiers for predicting, monitoring, and adjusting index tables for image recognition comprises a plurality of mobile devices, a pre-processing server or MMR gateway, and an MMR matching unit, and may include an MMR publisher. The MMR matching unit includes a plurality of recognition unit and index table pairs corresponding to classifiers to be applied to received image queries, as well as an image registration unit for storing and monitoring performance data for the classifiers. The MMR matching unit receives the image query and identifies, using a classifier set, a result including a document, the page, and the location on the page corresponding to the image query. The present invention also includes methods for monitoring online performance of a multiple classifier image recognition system, for classifier selection and comparison, and for offline classifier prediction.
