US Patent 11893769 Data collection for object detectors

A computer-implemented method of generating metadata from an image may comprise sending the image to an object detection service, which generates detections metadata from the image. The image may also be sent to a visual features extractor, which extracts visual features metadata from the image. The generated detections metadata may then be sent to an uncertainty score calculator, which computes an uncertainty score from the detections metadata. The uncertainty score may be related to a level of uncertainty within the detections metadata. The image, the visual features metadata, the detections metadata and the uncertainty score may then be stored in a database accessible over a computer network.
