Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method for searching an image database, comprising:
receiving, by processing circuitry, an adulterated image of an object, the adulterated image including object annotations for visual reference;
applying, by the processing circuitry, a first neural network to the adulterated image;
correlating, by the processing circuitry, 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
selecting, by the processing circuitry and as a matching image, one or more images of the reference database of images having correlation values above a threshold correlation value, wherein the method further comprises
applying, by the processing circuitry, a masking process to the adulterated image, including
performing, by the processing circuitry and via a second neural network, object recognition on the adulterated image to recognize text-based descriptive features,
applying, by the processing circuitry and 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, by the process circuitry and based on the bounding boxes and the detected callout features, a contour mask of the object.
