Patent 10885620 was granted and assigned to Omron on January, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Provided is an image processing system which determines at least one object using a low function device and a high function device having higher calculation capacity than the low function device. The low function device includes a part configured to output a first determination result which identifies the objects by applying a first convolution neural network to captured images of the objects, and a part configured to output the captured image to the high function device when the first determination result meets a predetermined condition. The high function device includes a part configured to apply a second convolution neural network preliminarily learned from a sample which is at least partially common to the first neural network to the captured image and to output a second determination result which identifies the object.
