  • Patent number: 10212291
    Abstract: A recognition system includes an image capturing device and a server. The image capturing device generates a Mth-layer calculation result based on image data and a convolutional neural network (CNN), and transmits feature information associated with the Mth-layer calculation result. M is a positive integer, M is equal to or greater than 1, M is less than or equal to N, and N is a predetermined positive integer. The server receives the feature information. The server generates a Kth-layer calculation result based on the feature information and the CNN by an iterative method when M is less than N. K is a positive integer which is greater than M and less than or equal to N. The server generates a first recognition result associated with the image data based on the Kth-layer calculation result and a first recognition model when K is equal to N.

  • Publication number: 20160248527
    Abstract: A distributed multimedia recognition system comprises a user equipment and a server platform, wherein the user equipment is connected to the server platform. The user equipment transmits a recognition request, and performs characteristic extraction on a multimedia, so as to obtain characteristic data. The server platform receives the recognition request, selects one or multiple batches of corresponding reference characteristic data among multiple batches of reference characteristic data recorded in a characteristic database thereof according to a condition of the recognition request, and sends the one or multiple batches of the corresponding reference characteristic data to the user equipment. The user equipment compares the characteristic data to the one or multiple batches of the corresponding reference characteristic data to obtain a recognition result.
