NOTES

  • This subclass covers:
    • methods or arrangements for pattern recognition or machine learning specially adapted for images or video.
  • In this subclass, the following terms or expressions are used with the meaning indicated:
    • "pattern recognition" means detection, categorisation, authentication and identification of patterns for explanatory purposes or to derive a certain meaning in images or video, by acquiring, preprocessing or extracting distinctive features and matching, clustering or classifying these features or representations thereof;
    • "feature extraction" means deriving descriptive or quantitative measures from images or video;
    • "clustering" means grouping or separating patterns according to their closeness or dissimilarity;
    • "classification" means the identification of an object/feature as belonging to a class of objects/features by assigning of a label.
  • In this subclass, subject matter classified in groups G06V 20/00 - G06V 40/00 is also classified in groups G06V 10/10 or G06V 10/20 respectively, if recognition relies on specific processing at the stages of acquisition or preprocessing.
