Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method for determining at least one confidence value for recognizing areas of interest on an image, the computer implemented method comprising: identifying a first identified area of interest based on output from a first image recognition process, the first identified area of interest having a first location on the image; identifying a second area of interest, wherein at least part of the second area of interest is different from the first identified area of interest, the second identified area of interest having a second location on the image; comparing the first identified area of interest on the image to the second identified area of interest on the image to calculate at least one confidence value for at least part of the at least first identified area of interest, wherein the comparison comprises a voting process that determines the confidence value based at least upon a proximity between the first location and second location; and providing the at least one confidence value.
