Abstract
A method for identifying a best item among a plurality of respective different items includes selecting a current best score, identifying a set of attributes associated with each of the items, and for each of the sets of attributes: determining a best possible score for a subset of the set of attributes, if the best possible score is greater than the current best score, determining an actual score for the set of attributes, and if the actual score for the set of attributes is greater than the current best score, setting the current best score as the actual score for the set of attributes. After both of the determining steps and the setting step for each of the sets of attributes, the item associated with the current best score is identified.
Claims29
A method for identifying a best item among a plurality of respective different items, the method comprising:
- selecting a current best score;
- identifying a set of attributes associated with each of the items;
- for each of the sets of attributes:
- determining a best possible score for a subset of the set of attributes;
- if the best possible score is greater than the current best score, determining an actual score for the set of attributes;
- and
- if the actual score for the set of attributes is greater than the current best score, setting the current best score as the actual score for the set of attributes;
- and
- after both of the determining steps and the setting step for each of the sets of attributes, identifying the item associated with the current best score.
A controller for identifying a best item among a plurality of respective different items, the controller comprising:
- means for selecting a current best score;
- means for identifying a set of attributes associated with each of the items;
- means for evaluating each of the sets of attributes by:
- determining a best possible score for a subset of the set of attributes;
- if the best possible score is greater than the current best score, determining an actual score for the set of attributes;
- and
- if the actual score for the set of attributes is greater than the current best score, setting the current best score as the actual score for the set of attributes;
- and
- means for identifying the item associated with the current best score and after each of the sets of attributes is evaluated.
A controller for identifying a potential vehicle in an image, the controller comprising:
- means for selecting a current best score;
- means for identifying a set of attributes including three components associated with each of a plurality of potential vehicles in the image;
- means for evaluating each of the sets of attributes of the potential vehicles by:
- determining a best possible score including a best possible sub-score for at most two of the components;
- if the best possible score is greater than the current best score, determining an actual score based on actual component scores for all three of the components;
- and
- if the actual score is greater than the current best score, setting the current best score as the actual score;
- and
- means for identifying the potential vehicle as being represented by the components associated with the current best score after each of the sets of attributes is evaluated.
