Abstract:
1. A method for generating and processing a retrieval request for a visual recognition system, the method comprising: receiving an image and generating an image query from the image; receiving audio data associated with the image, the audio data specifying at least one of a location within a document to be retrieved, at least one type of recognition algorithm for recognizing the image, and an order of the at least one type of recognition algorithm that determines a next algorithm used to recognize the image if a previous algorithm fails; performing command and data recognition on the audio data to produce audio recognition results for improving image recognition, wherein the audio recognition results include a keyword; performing retrieval of the document from a database of documents based on the image query and the audio recognition results to produce a retrieval result including a document identification, a portion of the document and an x-y location of the image on the portion of the document, wherein performing retrieval of the document includes performing image recognition on the image based on the image query to produce image recognition results from the database of documents, generating confidence scores associated with the image recognition results, modifying the confidence scores using the keyword and identifying the document based on the modified confidence scores; and providing the document to a user or performing an action based on the document.
