Image recognition verification
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method of image recognition verification involving a candidate image of a plurality of candidate images returned in response to an image recognition search, the method comprising:
- processing at least a portion of the candidate image according to at least one color space image processing technique, wherein the processing includes selecting at least one color channel as a prioritized image verification color channel based on a relative size of the at least one color channel in comparison to at least one other color channel within a color space;
selecting at least one matching technique from two or more matching techniques based on the at least one color space image processing technique and one or more characteristics of the candidate image; and
comparing the candidate image processed according to the at least one color space image processing technique with a query image of the image recognition search according to the at least one matching technique.

Abstract
Systems and methods of verifying the results of an initial image recognition process are presented. A verification engine can receive a set of candidate images corresponding to the results of an image recognition process performed on a captured query image. The verification engine can determine an appropriate verification technique to apply to the images of the candidate set, and classify, re-rank or otherwise re-organize the candidate set such that the best match from the candidate set is confirmed as a proper match.

19. A computer program product embedded in a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions executable by a computer processor to perform image recognition verification involving a candidate image of a plurality of candidate images returned in response to an image recognition search, the instructions being executable by a computer processor to:
-
process at least a portion of the candidate image according to at least one color space image processing technique, wherein the processing includes selecting at least one color channel as a prioritized image verification color channel based on a relative size of the at least one color channel in comparison to at least one other color channel within a color space; select at least one matching technique from two or more matching techniques based on the at least one color space image processing technique and one or more characteristics of the candidate image; and compare the candidate image processed according to the at least one color space image processing technique with a query image of the image recognition search according to the at least one matching technique.
