Image Processing Server

摘要

An image recognition approach employs both computer generated and manual image reviews to generate image tags characterizing an image. The computer generated and manual image reviews can be performed sequentially or in parallel. The generated image tags may be provided to a requester in real-time, be used to select an advertisement, and/or be used as the basis of an internet search. In some embodiments generated image tags are used as a basis for an upgraded image review. A confidence of a computer generated image review may be used to determine whether or not to perform a manual image review.

1. A method of processing an image, the method comprising:
receiving one or more first descriptors of an image at an image processing server, from a remote client via a communication network; comparing the received first descriptors to second descriptors stored in a location accessible to the image processing server, to determine if the first descriptors match a set of the second descriptors; responsive to the first descriptors matching the set of second descriptors, retrieving one or more image tags stored in association with the set of second descriptors; and providing the one or more image tags to the client.
