Application: Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and non-transitory computer readable medium (Patent ID: US20240212311A1)
The patent filed by Rakuten Group Inc. describes an information processing apparatus that acquires an object image containing one or more objects, infers rectangular areas surrounding the objects and their types using learning models, and extracts colors of a target object within the image. The apparatus includes memory, processors, and program code for these functions. The extraction code performs color determination on each pixel in the target object's area to extract its colors, potentially determining a predetermined number of top colors.
Additionally, the apparatus utilizes specific learning models such as YOLO and FCN for object detection and color extraction, respectively. The object image is generated from YCbCr image data through DCT conversion, with the apparatus capable of generating feature vectors for the target object and searching for similar images based on these vectors. The method and computer program described in the patent outline the steps for acquiring object images, inferring rectangular areas and object types, determining target object areas, and extracting colors. The computer program stored on a non-transitory medium enables the acquisition, inference, and extraction processes for object images.
