Determining a class associated with an image
First Claim
1. A method for determining a class associated with an image, the method comprising:
- generating at least one image segment based on a segmentation of the image;
determining a segmentation score for an image segment included in the at least one image segment based on a comparison of the image segment and a region of the image, the region of the image associated with the image segment;
determining a confidence score for the image segment based on the segmentation score and a classification score, the classification score indicative of a similarity between the image segment and at least one class;
determining a class associated with the image based on the confidence score; and
outputting the class associated with the image.

Abstract
The technology is directed to determining a class associated with an image. In some examples, a method determines the class associated with an image. The method can include determining a segmentation score for an image segment based on a comparison of the image segment and a region of an image. The region of the image can be associated with the image segment. The method further includes determining a confidence score for the image segment based on the segmentation score and a classification score. The classification score can be indicative of a similarity between the image segment and at least one class. The method further includes determining a class associated with the image based on the confidence score. The method further includes outputting the class associated with the image.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
a camera configured to acquire an image; at least one processor coupled to the camera; and a computer storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations including; generating at least one image segment based on a segmentation of the image; determining a segmentation score for an image segment included in the at least one image segment based on a comparison of the image segment and a region of the image, the region of the image associated with the image segment; determining a confidence score for the image segment based on the segmentation score and a classification score, the classification score indicative of a similarity between the image segment and at least one class; determining a class associated with the image based on the confidence score; and outputting the class associated with the image.

12. A system for determining a class associated with an image, the system comprising:
-
at least one processor; a segmentation module configured to employ the at least one processor to generate at least one image segment based on a segmentation of the image; a segmentation score module configured to employ the at least one processor to determine a segmentation score for an image segment included in the at least one image segment based on a comparison of the image segment and a region of the image, the region of the image associated with the image segment; a confidence score module configured to employ the at least one processor to determine a confidence score for the image segment based on the segmentation score and a classification score, the classification score indicative of a similarity between the image segment and at least one class; a class determination module configured to employ the at least one processor to determine a class associated with the image based on the confidence score; and a class output module configured to employ the at least one processor to output the class associated with the image. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
