Image database search method using neural networks and object recognition
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11908053B2) discloses a method for searching an image database using advanced neural network technology. The method involves receiving an adulterated image of an object with annotations, applying neural networks for image editing and object recognition, correlating the results with a reference database, and selecting matching images based on correlation values above a threshold. Additionally, a masking process is applied to the adulterated image, including object recognition, computer vision for callout feature detection, and generating a contour mask of the object based on the detected features.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims for a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for executing the image searching method and an apparatus with processing circuitry for implementing the method. The processing circuitry is configured to edit images, correlate results with a reference database, and generate contour masks through object segmentation. These innovative techniques leverage neural networks for image processing and recognition, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of image searches within databases. The patent highlights the integration of advanced technologies to streamline image retrieval processes and improve the overall user experience in accessing visual information.
