Abstract
A computer-implemented method of generating metadata from an image may comprise sending the image to an object detection service, which generates detections metadata from the image. The image may also be sent to a visual features extractor, which extracts visual features metadata from the image. The generated detections metadata may then be sent to an uncertainty score calculator, which computes an uncertainty score from the detections metadata. The uncertainty score may be related to a level of uncertainty within the detections metadata. The image, the visual features metadata, the detections metadata and the uncertainty score may then be stored in a database accessible over a computer network.
Claims38
A computer-implemented method of generating metadata from an image, comprising:
- sending the image, over a computer network, to an object detection service, and receiving, from the object detection service, detections metadata generated from the image;
- sending the image, over the computer network, to a visual features extractor, and receiving, from the visual features extractor, visual features metadata extracted from the image;
- sending the generated detections metadata, over the computer network, to an uncertainty score calculator, and receiving, from the uncertainty score calculator, an uncertainty score computed from the detections metadata, the uncertainty score being related to a level of uncertainty within the detections metadata, and
- storing the image, the visual features metadata, the detections metadata and the uncertainty score in a database that is accessible over the computer network.
A computing device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one data storage device coupled to the at least one processor;
- a network interface coupled to the at least one processor and to a computer network;
- a plurality of processes spawned by the at least one processor to generate metadata from an image, the processes including processing logic for:
- sending the image, over a computer network, to an object detection service, and receiving, from the object detection service, detections metadata generated from the image;
- sending the image, over the computer network, to a visual features extractor, and receiving, from the visual features extractor, visual features metadata extracted from the image;
- sending the generated detections metadata, over the computer network, to an uncertainty score calculator, and receiving, from the uncertainty score calculator, an uncertainty score computed from the detections metadata, the uncertainty score being related to a level of uncertainty within the detections metadata, and
- storing the image, the visual features metadata, the detections metadata and the uncertainty score in a database that is accessible over the computer network.
