Patent number: 8396331Abstract: Functionality is described for generating a vocabulary from a source dataset of image items or other non-textual items. The vocabulary serves as a tool for retrieving items from a target dataset in response to queries. The vocabulary has at least one characteristic that allows it to be used to retrieve items from multiple different target datasets. A target dataset can have a different size than the source dataset and/or a different type than the source dataset. The enabling characteristic may correspond to a size of the source dataset above a prescribed minimum number of items and/or a size of the vocabulary above a prescribed minimum number of words.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2007Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Menglei Jia, Xing Xie, Wei-Ying Ma

Patent number: 7813561Abstract: A system for automatically classifying an object of a target image is provided. A classification system provides a collection of classified images along with a classification of the dominant object of the image. The classification system attempts to classify the object of a target image based on similarity of the target image to the classified images. To classify a target image, the classification system identifies the classified images of the collection that are most similar to the target image based on similarity between salient points of the target image and the classified images. The classification system selects a classification associated with the classified images that are most similar to the target image as a classification for the object of the target image.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2006Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Menglei Jia, Hua Li, Xing Xie, Zheng Chen, Wei-Ying Ma
