Abstract
In some examples, image based target analysis may include performing a search to identify an image, and determining whether a target is present in the image, and image metadata. Image based target analysis may further include performing, in response to a determination that the target is present in the image, based on a relationship of the target to an entity, and the image metadata, a further search to identify another image, and generating, based on the image and/or the other image, a result indicative of further information on the target.
Claims15
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing machine readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
- perform, based on an input image of a target and an input image metadata associated with the input image, a search of a database to identify a further image;
- determine whether the target is present in the further image;
- determine further image metadata associated with the further image;
- perform, in response to a determination that the target is present in the further image, based on a relationship of the target to an entity, and the further image metadata, a further search of the database or another database to identify another image;
- and
- generate, based on at least one of the further image and the other image, a result indicative of further information on the target.
A method comprising:
- performing an age-regression or age-progression on an input image of a target to a specified age of the target;
- performing, by a processor, based on the age-regressed or age-progressed input image, a search of a database to identify a further image;
- performing the age-regression or age-progression on the further image to the specified age of the target;
- determining whether the target is present in the age-regressed or age-progressed further image;
- determining further image metadata associated with the age-regressed or age-progressed further image;
- performing, in response to a determination that the target is present in the age-regressed or age-progressed further image, based on a relationship of the target to an entity, and the further image metadata, a further search of the database or another database to identify another image;
- and
- generating, based on at least one of the age-regressed or age-progressed further image and the age-regressed or age-progressed other image, a result indicative of further information on the target.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon machine readable instructions to provide image based target analysis, the machine readable instructions, when executed, cause a processor to:
- perform, based on a keyword associated with a target that is to be analyzed, a search of a database to identify an initial image, wherein the search of the database is limited based on a search threshold;
- determine, based on a query associated with the initial image, whether the target is present in the initial image, and initial image metadata associated with the initial image;
- perform, in response to a determination that the target is present in the initial image, based on a relationship of the target to an entity, and the initial image metadata, a further search of the database or another database to identify another image, wherein the search of the other database is limited based on the search threshold;
- and
- generate, based on at least one of the initial image and the other image, a result indicative of further information on the target.
