Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. An apparatus for performing a method for searching an image database, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to
receive an adulterated image of an object, the adulterated image including object annotations for visual reference,
apply a first neural network to the adulterated image,
correlate a result of the applying the first neural network with each image of a reference database of images, the result including an edited image of the object and each image of the reference database of images including a reference object, and
select, as a matching image, one or more images of the reference database of images having correlation values above a threshold correlation value, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to

apply a masking process to the adulterated image by
performing, via a second neural network, object recognition on the adulterated image to recognize text-based descriptive features,
applying, based on the performing the object recognition, computer vision to detect callout features relative to bounding boxes containing the recognized text-based descriptive features, and
generating, based on the bounding boxes and the detected callout features, a contour mask of the object.
