Title: Automatically segmenting images based on natural language phrases
Inventor: ZHE LIN
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2018-01-19
Abstract: A method of segmenting an image comprises receiving an image 120 and an ordered sequence 128 of tokens. An image map representing a correspondence between image features and a portion of the image is generated and a set of token data elements representing semantic features of the tokens are generated. A segmentation map is iteratively updated based on the segmentation map and combinations of the image feature encoding and the token data structures. The segmentation map identifies which pixels are included in an image region referenced by the sequence of tokens. A segmented image 132 is generated based on the segmentation map. The set of tokens may be a natural language phrase and the tokens may be words. The semantic features may relate to meanings of the words. The generation of the data elements and the updating of the segmentation map may be performed by recurrence neural networks such as long short-term memory networks or convolutional multimodal RNNs.
