Flat Fine-grained Image Classification with Progressive Precision
27 Jul 23
Progressive precision image classifier and method of training include storing a dataset of labeled images, training a neural network to generate a classification vector comprising a plurality of confidence values, each confidence value corresponding to a classification, validating the trained neural network, calculating fine-grained confidence thresholds for each classification, wherein each classification represents a leaf-level classification in a hierarchical classification structure, and calculating coarse-level confidence thresholds for at least one parent class in the hierarchical classification structure, wherein each parent class defines a group of at least one leaf-level classification.
