US Patent 11756291 Scene and user-input context aided visual search

Provided is a technique for determining a context of an image and an object depicted by the image based on the context. A trained context classification model may determine a context of an image, and a trained object recognition model may determine an object depicted by the image based on the image and the context. Provided is also a technique for determining an object depicted within an image based on an input location of an input detected by a display screen. An object depicted within an image may be detected based on a distance in feature space between an image feature vector of an image and a feature vector of the object, and a distance in pixel-space between an input location of an input and location of the object within the image.
