Classifying Patent Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report presents the work carried out for the image classification task in the course of the CLEF-IP 2011 competition. Based on the visual content, patent images are automatically classified into several drawing types, such as abstract drawings, tables, flow chart and graphs. For that purpose, a series of SVM classifiers, multi-modal fusion schemes and a variety of content-based low-level features for black and white images were used. The overall reported performance was promising. Our best runs achieved a true positive rate of over 66% and the reported average area under curve is over 0.9.

Two New Methods of Boundary Correction for Classifying Textural Images
With the growth of technology, supervising systems are increasingly replacing humans in military, transportation, medical, spatial, and other industries. Among these systems are machine vision systems which are based on image processing and analysis. One of the important tasks of image processing is classification of images into desirable categories for the identification of objects or their sp...
متن کاملLatent Semantic Indexing for Patent Documents
Since the huge database of patent documents is continuously increasing, the issue of classifying, updating and retrieving patent documents turned into an acute necessity. Therefore, we investigate the efficiency of applying Latent Semantic Indexing, an automatic indexing method of information retrieval, to some classes of patent documents from the United States Patent Classification System. We ...
متن کاملOverview of Classification Subtask at NTCIR-6 Patent Retrieval Task
This paper describes the Classification Subtask of the NTCIR-5 Patent Retrieval Task. The purpose of this subtask is to evaluate the methods of classifying patents into multi-dimensional classification structures called F-term (File Forming Term) classification systems. We report on how this subtask was designed, the test collection released, and the results of the evaluation.

In 2014, at latest in 2015, extensive changes in the legal environment for patents in Europe are to be expected, having considerable impact on monopolizing inventions e.g. from the nanotechnology environment: With establishing the "European patent with unitary effect”, for the very first time the grant of single patents with uniform coverage of (almost) the entire territory of the European Unio...
متن کاملConcept-oriented labelling of patent images based on Random Forests and proximity-driven generation of synthetic data
Patent images are very important for patent examiners to understand the contents of an invention. Therefore there is a need for automatic labelling of patent images in order to support patent search tasks. Towards this goal, recent research works propose classification-based approaches for patent image annotation. However, one of the main drawbacks of these methods is that they rely upon large ...
