IPC: G06K9/68
Filed: 2005-09-08
Abstract: The systems and methods can apply a plurality of different classifiers to a given input image instead of a single classifier. The plurality of classifiers produce a plurality of classified images based on the input image, which are sequentially displayed to a human observer. The sequential display of the classified images produces a dynamic classified image, in which the classification of the input image varies with time depending on which one of the classified image is displayed at a given instant. The dynamic classified image provides dynamic stimuli that encourages the human visual system to excuse occasional classification errors from a minority of the classified images and to retain generally correct classifications from a majority of the classified images.
