Artificial intelligence apparatus and method for detecting unseen class items thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an artificial intelligence apparatus capable of classifying and detecting an item of an unseen class having high visual similarity to an item of a seen class that has been learned and known in advance, and a method for detecting an unseen class items thereof, and when the item image is input, generate encoded data by encoding the item image, generate decoded data by decoding the encoded data using a codebook of a plurality of codebooks in which encoded data for each item class is stored, corresponding to a pre-learned item class, and detect the unknown item by classifying the class of the item image based on the generated decoded data.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
