IMAGE SEARCH SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18151433 titled 'IMAGE SEARCH SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an image search system that includes an interface and a compute engine set. The interface allows users to input an image for searching. The compute engine set consists of two compute engines - the first compute engine computes similarities between the searched image and a collection of images in a gallery, while the second compute engine determines the search result based on these similarities, providing a target image similar to the searched image.
- The system includes an interface for users to input an image for searching.
- The compute engine set consists of a first compute engine and a second compute engine.
- The first compute engine calculates similarities between the searched image and a collection of images in a gallery.
- The second compute engine uses these similarities to determine the search result.
- The search result includes a target image that is similar to the searched image.
Potential Applications
- Online image search platforms
- E-commerce websites for finding similar products
- Art and design platforms for finding similar artwork
- Forensic investigations for identifying similar images
Problems Solved
- Efficiently searching for similar images in a large gallery
- Providing accurate search results based on image similarities
- Reducing the manual effort required for image search
Benefits
- Improved user experience in finding visually similar images
- Time-saving for users searching for specific images
- Enhanced accuracy in identifying similar images
- Potential for automation in various industries that require image search
Original Abstract Submitted
An image search system including an interface and a compute engine set is provided. The interface is configured to obtain a to-be-searched image. The compute engine set includes a first compute engine and a second compute engine. The first compute engine is configured to compute similarities between the to-be-searched image and a plurality of images included in a gallery; and the second compute engine is configured to determine a search result based on the similarities between the searched image and the plurality of images included in the gallery, where the search result includes a target image similar to the to-be-searched image.
