  • Identifying objects in an image
    Patent number: 10013613
    Abstract: Identifying objects in an image. An image is received. A plurality of objects in the image are detected. One or more of the detected objects are identified, while one or more detected objects remain unidentified. From the identified detected objects, one or more salient objects are determined. Based on the salient objects, a generic location for the image is determined. Based on the determined generic location for the image, at least one of the unidentified detected objects is identified.
