Abstract
In some embodiments, a method inputs a set of images into a network and trains the network based on a classification of the set of images to one or more characters in a set of characters. The method obtains a set of encodings for the one or more characters based on a layer of the network that restricts the output of the layer to a number of values. Then, the method stores the set of encodings for the one or more characters, wherein an encoding in the set of encodings is retrievable when a corresponding character is determined.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- inputting, by a computing device, a set of images into a network;
- training, by the computing device, the network based on a classification of the set of images to one or more characters in a set of characters;
- obtaining, by the computing device, a set of encodings for the one or more characters based on a layer of the network that restricts an output of the layer to a number of values;
- and
- storing, by the computing device, the set of encodings for the one or more characters, wherein an encoding in the set of encodings is retrievable when a corresponding character is determined.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions, which when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to be operable for:
- inputting a set of images into a network;
- training the network based on a classification of the set of images to one or more characters in a set of characters;
- obtaining a set of encodings for the one or more characters based on a layer of the network that restricts an output of the layer to a number of values;
- and
- storing the set of encodings for the one or more characters, wherein an encoding in the set of encodings is retrievable when a corresponding character is determined.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions for controlling the one or more computer processors to be operable for:
- inputting a set of images into a network;
- training the network based on a classification of the set of images to one or more characters in a set of characters;
- obtaining a set of encodings for the one or more characters based on a layer of the network that restricts an output of the layer to a number of values;
- and
- storing the set of encodings for the one or more characters, wherein an encoding in the set of encodings is retrievable when a corresponding character is determined.
