Title: Shuchi Shiitani: Innovator in Image Retrieval and Shape Comparison Technologies
Introduction
Shuchi Shiitani is a notable inventor based in Kawasaki, Japan. She has made significant contributions to the fields of image retrieval and shape comparison technologies. With a total of 2 patents, her work showcases innovative approaches to complex problems in image processing.
Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is an image retrieval apparatus. This invention discloses an image retrieval apparatus that comprises an unlabelled image selector for selecting one or more unlabelled images from an image database. The main learner in this apparatus trains in each feedback round of the image retrieval, estimating the relevance of images in the database and a user's intention, ultimately determining retrieval results. The main learner utilizes the unlabelled images selected by the unlabelled image selector in its estimation. Additionally, the image retrieval apparatus may include an active selector for choosing unlabelled images for the user to label based on the main learner's estimation results.
Another significant patent is a shape comparison apparatus based on contour decomposition and correspondence. This invention includes a polygonal approximation unit that approximates an image object contour as a polygon, representing it as an ordered contour primitive sequence. The apparatus also features an attribute generation unit for calculating attribute values for contour primitives and a comparison unit for establishing correspondence of polygons to calculate similarity between contours. Furthermore, it may include an image object contour extraction unit for extracting the contour of an image object inputted into the apparatus.
