IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS IMPROVED IN IMAGE RECOGNITION ACCURACY, METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM: abstract simplified (18194415)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18194415 Titled 'IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS IMPROVED IN IMAGE RECOGNITION ACCURACY, METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image capturing device that consists of an image sensor section and a signal processor. The device can switch between a recognition mode and a learning mode. In the recognition mode, the image sensor section uses a first learning model to perform recognition processing on the captured image. The signal processor also has a recognition section that uses a second learning model for recognition processing. In the learning mode, the image sensor section updates the first learning model based on the recognition result from the signal processor and the image captured by the device.

Original Abstract Submitted

An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor section and a signal processor for processing an image input from the image sensor section via a signal line. A control arithmetic unit switches the image sensor section to a recognition mode or a learning mode. The image sensor section includes an image capturing section for generating an image, and a sensor recognition section for performing, in the recognition mode, recognition processing by inputting the image to a first learning model. The signal processor includes a recognition section for performing recognition processing by inputting the image to a second learning model. The image sensor section further includes a sensor learning section for updating, in the learning mode, the first learning model, based on a recognition result obtained by the second recognition unit and input from the signal processor, and an image generated by the image capturing unit.
