Patent Images

1. A computer-implemented method for image processing, the method comprising:

  • receiving (701) at least one user image (506);

    identifying a plurality of image classification elements of the user image by;

    assigning an initial classification to the user image, wherein the initial classification is based on temporal data associated with the user image;

    determining at least one image label that globally describes content of the user image;

    calculating a label correctness value for each image label;

    recognizing (705) at least one image component (508, 510) of the user image;

    calculating a component correctness value for each image component (508, 510);

    correlating (708) the image label and the image component (508, 510) using the label correctness value and the component correctness value, whereby a correlated image label and a correlated image component are identified;

    applying a rule to determine a category of the user image, wherein the rule is based on at least one of the following;

    the temporal data, the correlated image label and the correlated image component; and

    producing a final classification of the user image including the following image classification elements;

    the initial classification, the correlated image label, the correlated image component, and the category.
