Abstract
Methods, systems, and techniques to enhance computer vision application processing are disclosed. In particular, the methods, systems, and techniques may reduce power consumption for computer vision applications and improve processing efficiency for computer vision applications.
Claims30
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a mobile device, sensory data from an image sensor, wherein the sensory data is related to an image;
- extracting a first subset of features of the image from the sensory data;
- extracting a second subset of features of the image from the sensory data based on the first subset of features satisfying an analysis criterion;
- and
- generating context data indicating a context of the image based at least in part on the second subset of features.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive sensory data from an image sensor, wherein the sensory data is related to an image;
- extract a first subset of features from the sensory data, the first subset of features selected based on a selection criterion;
- and
- generate context data indicating a context of the image based at least in part on the first subset of features.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving sensory data from an image sensor, wherein the sensory data is related to an image;
- means for extracting a first subset of features from the sensory data, the first subset of features selected based on a selection criterion;
- and
- means for generating context data indicating a context of the image based at least in part on the first subset of features.
1 more element
A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:
- receiving first sensory data from a first image sensor, wherein the first sensory data is related to a first image;
- extracting a first subset of features of the first image from the first sensory data;
- requesting second sensory data from a second image sensor based on the first subset of features satisfying an analysis criterion, wherein the second sensory data is related to a second image;
- receiving the second sensory data from the second image sensor;
- extracting a second subset of features of the second image from the second sensory data;
- and
- generating context data indicating a context of the first image based at least in part on the second subset of features.
