US Patent 12072927 Image descriptor network with imposed hierarchical normalization

Techniques are disclosed for using and training a descriptor network. An image may be received and provided to the descriptor network. The descriptor network may generate an image descriptor based on the image. The image descriptor may include a set of elements distributed between a major vector comprising a first subset of the set of elements and a minor vector comprising a second subset of the set of elements. The second subset of the set of elements may include more elements than the first subset of the set of elements. A hierarchical normalization may be imposed onto the image descriptor by normalizing the major vector to a major normalization amount and normalizing the minor vector to a minor normalization amount. The minor normalization amount may be less than the major normalization amount.
