Unsupervised adaptation method and automatic image classification method applying the same

Abstract

An automatic image classification method applying an unsupervised adaptation method is provided. A plurality of non-manually-labeled observation data are grouped into a plurality of groups. A respectively hypothesis label is set to each of the groups according to a classifier. It is determined whether each member of the observation data in each of the groups is suitable for adjusting the classifier according to the hypothesis label, and the non-manually-labeled observation data which are determined as being suitable for adjusting the classifier are set as a plurality of adaptation data. The classifier is updated according to the hypothesis label and the adaptation data. The observation data are classified according to the updated classifier.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
