  • Publication number: 20240135675
    Abstract: Detecting fine-grained similarity in image includes determining a core area of a search image by generating an image salient map from a plurality of layers of the search image and determining a connected area based on the image salient map. Feature descriptors are generated from the core area of the search image. A plurality of capsule vectors are generated from different ones of a plurality of keypoints of the feature descriptors. Capsule vectors of the search image are compared with capsule vectors of each image of the dataset to generate a top-K matrix. Similarity scores for the top-K matrix are calculated. One or more image of the dataset having fine-grained similarity with the search image are selected based a bundled similarity score for each image of the dataset. The bundled similarity score is a summation of the similarity scores of the image.

  • Patent number: 11966454
    Abstract: A neural network system implements a model for generating an output image based on a received input image. The model is learned through a training process during which parameters associated with the model are adjusted so as to maximize a difference between a first image predicted using first parameter values of the model and a second image predicted using second parameter values of the model, and to minimize a difference between the second image and a ground truth image. During a first iteration of the training process the first image is predicted and during a second iteration the second image is predicted. The first parameter values are obtained during the first iteration by minimizing a difference between the first image and the ground truth image, and the second parameter values are obtained during the second iteration by maximizing the difference between the first image and the second image.
