The design patent images classification based on image caption model

Abstract

Improving the performance of the patented image retrieval system is of great significance in the intellectual property protection. The design patent image has a large amount of data, and how to quickly complete the retrieval is part of the main research issues for the design patent retrieval system. Classification is an effective way to improve the retrieval speed, so some methods of image classification have been proposed before. However, image classification cannot achieve high-level semantic classification. Thus the speed of improvement is very limited. In order to realize the classification effect of high-level semantics, in this paper, we propose a method that uses the image caption model-based to realize the automatic description generation of the design patent image. Experiments show that our method has better classification accuracy and better semantic classification performance than previous image classification methods.
