Systems and methods for multi-factor image recognition
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for performing multi-factor image recognition comprising:
- categorizing images in a database based on one or more environmental contextual attributes of the images;
identifying one or more environmental contextual attributes associated with an object in an observed image;
creating a plurality of likelihood tiers from the categorized images in the database based on the presence or absence of the one or more identified environmental contextual attributes; and
performing image recognition for the object using images in a first likelihood tier having the greatest number of the one or more environmental contextual attributes among the plurality of likelihood tiers.

Abstract
A mechanism for image recognition based on multiple factors is described. A method, system and computer-readable medium for multi-factor image recognition includes using environmental contextual attributes to create likelihood tiers in an image recognition database such that irrelevant entries are excluded from the search. The mechanism described here limits and sorts by contextual likelihood the number of entries to be searched, increasing both the speed and accuracy of the image recognition process.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing device, the instructions implementing a method for performing multi-factor image recognition, execution of the instructions causes the processing device to:
-
identify one or more environmental contextual attributes associated with an object in an observed image; categorize images in a database based on the one or more environmental contextual attributes; create a plurality of likelihood tiers from the categorized images in the database based on the presence or absence of the one or more identified environmental contextual attributes; and perform image recognition for the object using images in a first likelihood tier having the greatest number of the one or more environmental contextual attributes among the plurality of likelihood tiers. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
