System and method for providing dominant scene classification by semantic segmentation

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to compute a dominant class of a scene by:
• receiving an input image of a scene;
• generating a segmentation map of the input image, the segmentation map being labeled with a corresponding class of a plurality of classes;
• computing a plurality of area ratios based on the segmentation map, each of the area ratios corresponding to a different class of the plurality of classes of the segmentation map;
• and
• outputting a detected dominant class of the scene based on the plurality of ranked labels.
