Abstract
A computer-implemented (including method implemented using laptop, desktop, mobile, and wearable devices) method for image filtering. The method includes analyzing each image to generate a content vector for the image; applying an interest operator to the content vector, the interest operator being based on a plurality of pictures with desirable characteristics, thereby obtaining an interest index for the image; comparing the interest index for the image to an interest threshold; and taking one or more actions or abstaining from one or more actions based on a result of the step of comparing. Also, related systems and articles of manufacture.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for image filtering, the method comprising:
- analyzing, by a computer, an image using a plurality of classifiers corresponding to one of a plurality of characteristics;
- generating, by the computer, a content vector for the image, wherein the content vector comprises a plurality of values, wherein each value corresponds to a classifier of the plurality of classifiers;
- applying, by the computer, an interest operator to the content vector, wherein the interest operator is based on a plurality of pictures with desirable characteristics, thereby obtaining an interest index for the image represented by the content vector;
- comparing, by the computer, the interest index for the image to an interest threshold to obtain a result;
- and
- taking one or more actions by the computer based on the result.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors and comprising computer code which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
- analyze an image using a plurality of classifiers corresponding to one of a plurality of characteristics;
- generate a content vector for the image, wherein the content vector comprises a plurality of values, wherein each value corresponds to a classifier of the plurality of classifiers;
- apply an interest operator to the content vector, wherein the interest operator is based on a plurality of pictures with desirable characteristics, thereby obtaining an interest index for the image represented by the content vector;
- compare the interest index for the image to an interest threshold, to obtain a result;
- and
- take one or more actions based on the result.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium embedded with computer code for image filtering executable by one or more processors to:
- analyze, by a computer, an image using a plurality of classifiers corresponding to one of a plurality of characteristics;
- generate, by the computer, a content vector for the image, wherein the content vector comprises a plurality of values, wherein each value corresponds to a classifier of the plurality of classifiers;
- apply an interest operator to the content vector, the interest operator being based on a plurality of pictures with desirable characteristics, thereby obtaining an interest index for the image;
- comparing the interest index for the image to an interest threshold to obtain a result;
- and
- taking one or more actions based on the result.
