METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CALCULATING MEASURE VALUES OF CLASSIFICATION RESULTS

摘要

E.g. in multimedia asset management systems, classification algorithms are used to classify multimedia data into differ-ent data classes, for instance such as indoor, landscape and city scenes, to enhance database (MDB) organisation. A prob-lem is the confidence in classification performance. Accord-ing to the invention, confidence measure values (c) about data classification results are calculated (MMDCL) in addi-tion and can be included in user interaction. The confidence measure values are combined from a first part value (c1) that is related to the confidence in classification and from a second part value (c2) that is related to the confidence in said class models.
