Abstract
A system to recognize text, objects, or symbols in a captured image using machine learning models reduces computational overhead by generating a plurality of thumbnail versions of the image at different downscaled resolutions and aspect ratios, and then processing the downscaled images instead of the entire image, or sections of the entire image. The downscaled images are processed to produce a combine feature vector characterizing the overall image. The combined feature vector is processed using the machine learning model.
