Claim 5:
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the set of reference images is an augmented set of reference images determined by:
obtaining an add-on image from the image database;
determining a similarity metric between the add-on image and an anchor reference image from the set of reference images based on a feature vector of the anchor reference image and a feature vector of the add-on image; and
if the similarity metric between the add-on image and the anchor reference image meets a minimum augmentation similarity criterion and a maximum augmentation similarity criterion, associating the add-on image with a category that the anchor reference image is associated with and adding the add-on image to the set of reference images.
