Retrieval Method, Index Construction Method, and Related Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18148655 titled 'Retrieval Method, Index Construction Method, and Related Device

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a retrieval method that involves obtaining data related to a retrieval object, which includes multiple feature vectors corresponding to different aspects of the object. The method also involves obtaining a correlation between groups of object information and retrieval information to output retrieved object information.

  • The retrieval method obtains data about a retrieval object, which includes multiple feature vectors representing different modalities of the object.
  • The method correlates groups of object information with retrieval information to output retrieved object information.
  • Each group of object information corresponds to multiple feature vectors in an index, indicated by second data.
  • Each feature vector of the object information corresponds to one modality of the object information.

Potential Applications

  • Content-based image retrieval systems
  • Multimedia search engines
  • Object recognition and classification systems

Problems Solved

  • Efficient retrieval of object information from a large dataset
  • Correlating multiple modalities of an object for accurate retrieval

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy in retrieving object information
  • Enhanced performance in content-based retrieval systems
  • Efficient handling of large datasets with multiple modalities


Original Abstract Submitted

A retrieval method includes obtaining first data corresponding to a retrieval object, wherein the first data indicates M feature vectors of the retrieval object, wherein each feature vector of the retrieval object corresponds to one modality of the retrieval object, and wherein M is an integer greater than 1, and obtaining a correlation between a plurality of groups of object information and the retrieval information to output at least one group of retrieved object information, wherein each group of object information corresponds to M feature vectors in an index, wherein the M feature vectors of each group of object information are indicated by one group of second data, and wherein each feature vector of the object information corresponds to one modality of the object information.
