Assignee: VADE USA, INCORPORATED
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 18:
19. A computing device comprising:
at least one processor;
at least one data storage device coupled to the at least one processor;
a network interface coupled to the at least one processor and to a computer network;
a plurality of processes spawned by the at least one processor to generate metadata from an image, the processes including processing logic for:
sending the image, over a computer network, to an object detection service, and generating, by the object detection service, detections metadata from the image;
sending the image, over the computer network, to a visual features extractor, and extracting, by the visual features extractor, visual features metadata from the image;
sending the generated detections metadata, over the computer network, to an uncertainty score calculator, and computing, by the uncertainty score calculator, an uncertainty score from the detections metadata, the uncertainty score being related to a level of uncertainty within the detections metadata, and
storing the image, the visual features metadata, the detections metadata and the uncertainty score in a database that is accessible over the computer network,
wherein the object detection service comprises at least two object detectors, each of the at least two object detectors being configured to detect objects within the image for a same set of object classes and to output a set of detections.
