Patent ID: 11334774

Abstract:
An image labeling apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided. The image labeling apparatus generates several image features of several to-be-processed images and classifies them into several groups. For each group, the image labeling apparatus: (a) selects the image feature closest to the center as a representative feature and a compared feature, (b) selects the image feature farthest to the compared feature as a candidate feature, and (c) compares the similarity between the candidate feature and each representative feature with a threshold. When all the similarities are smaller than the threshold, adopts the candidate feature as another representative feature and the compared feature and repeats (b) and (c). The group(s) whose number of representative features is more than another threshold will be re-classified. The image labeling apparatus determines several to-be-labeled groups according to the classification result and labels the to-be-processed images within the same to-be-labeled group the same.
