Abstract:
A server for providing a city street search service includes a street information database configured to store city street images, a feature selection unit configured to select at least one feature according to a predetermined criterion when a city street image for searching and two or more features for the image are received from a user terminal, a candidate extraction unit configured to extract a candidate list of a city street image, a feature matching unit configured to match the city street image for registration included in the extracted candidate list and the at least one selected feature, and a search result provision unit configured to provide the user terminal with a result of the matching as result information regarding the city street image for searching.
Abstract:
A machine learning method for learning how to form bounding boxes, performed by a machine learning apparatus, includes extracting learning images including a target object among a plurality of learning images included in a learning database, generating additional learning images in which the target object is rotated from the learning images including the target object, and updating the learning database using the additional learning images.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for searching for a building on the basis of an image and a method of constructing a building search database (DB) for image-based building search. The method includes constructing a building search DB, receiving a query image from a user terminal, detecting a region to which a building belongs in the query image, extracting features of the region detected in the query image, and searching the building search DB for a building matching the extracted features. Therefore, building search performance can be improved.
Abstract:
An apparatus for food search service includes a food region extractor configured to perform detection in regions in an image where food is present and extract a plurality of candidate regions; a candidate region refiner configured to cluster the candidate regions into groups according to a ratio of overlap between the candidate regions; and a search result generator configured to determine a position of a food region and a food item from the grouped candidate regions.
Abstract:
Provided are a shoe image retrieval apparatus and method using a matching pair, which can accurately retrieve image information corresponding to an inputted image from the database and provide the retrieved image information, by normalizing a correspondence relation in consideration of geometric image transformation about the matching pair and allowing a similar image to be retrieved by applying the normalized correspondence relation. It is possible to detect optimum geometric image transformation from a matching pair between the inputted shoe image and the image stored in the database and simultaneously retrieve a plurality of objects in the inputted shoe image based on the detected geometric image transformation, thereby providing an efficient shoe retrieval service.
