Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing image data is provided. The method includes the steps of employing a main processing network for classifying one or more features of the image data, employing a monitor processing network for determining one or more confusing classifications of the image data, and spawning a specialist processing network to process image data associated with the one or more confusing classifications.
Claims39
A method for processing image data, comprising the steps of:
- employing a main belief propagation network for classifying one or more features of the image data;
- employing a monitor belief propagation network for determining one or more confusing classifications of the image data;
- and
- spawning a specialist belief propagation network to process image data associated with the one or more confusing classifications.
A system for processing image data, comprising:
- an image acquisition apparatus for acquiring image data;
- a processor employing a main belief propagation network for classifying one or more features of the image data, employing a monitor belief propagation network for determining one or more confusing classifications of the image data, spawning a specialist belief propagation network to process image data associated with the one or more confusing classifications, and spawning new belief propagation networks to classify new modalities and scenarios.
A computer program stored to a non-volatile computer readable storage medium, the computer program, when operated, having instructions for causing a multi-purpose computer to perform the steps of:
- employing a main belief propagation network for classifying one or more features of the image data;
- employing a monitor belief propagation network for determining one or more confusing classifications of the image data;
- and
- spawning a specialist belief propagation network to process image data associated with the one or more confusing classifications.
