Abstract
Methods, systems, apparatus and articles of manufacture are disclosed herein to improve image classification with boundary-bitmaps. An example disclosed apparatus includes a silhouette engine to identify a foreground silhouette within the image, generate a bounding box based on borders of the foreground silhouette, and generate an encoded silhouette matrix which identifies cells of a foreground and cells of a background, a convolution cell selector to convolve the encoded silhouette matrix to generate a convoluted bitmap matrix, and a filter cell selector to improve image classification efficiency by identifying eligible blocks of the convoluted bitmap matrix by retaining first respective cells of the convoluted bitmap matrix that satisfy a cell retention threshold, and removing second respective cells of the convoluted bitmap matrix that do not satisfy the cell retention threshold.
