IMAGE SEARCH APPARATUS, IMAGE SEARCH METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18240519 titled 'IMAGE SEARCH APPARATUS, IMAGE SEARCH METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The present invention describes an image search apparatus that improves the accuracy of searching for an image containing a desired person from a group of images. The apparatus includes an image acquisition unit, an attribute information generation unit, an integration unit, and a search unit.
- Image acquisition unit acquires multiple query images.
- Attribute information generation unit generates attribute information from each query image.
- Integration unit combines the attribute information from all query images to create integrated attribute information.
- Search unit uses the integrated attribute information to search for a target image among a group of reference images.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various fields such as:
- Facial recognition systems
- Image retrieval systems
- Security and surveillance systems
Problems Solved
The technology addresses the following issues:
- Inaccuracies in searching for specific individuals in a large database of images
- Time-consuming manual image search processes
- Difficulty in identifying individuals in crowded or complex images
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved accuracy and efficiency in image searching
- Enhanced security measures through better identification capabilities
- Streamlined image retrieval processes for various applications
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Image Search Technology for Enhanced Efficiency
Unanswered Questions
