Abstract
A technique for use in automated recognition of a media item involves accessing a template that includes multiple segmentation maps that each is associated with one of multiple classes to which the media item might belong. For each of the multiple classes, the segmentation map is applied to an image of the media item to extract a feature set for the image, the feature set is analyzed, and an assessment is made as to whether the media item belongs to the class.
