Abstract

The present embodiments relate to analysing an image. An artificial deep neural net is pre-trained to classify images into a hierarchical system of multiple hierarchical classes. The pre-trained neural net is then adapted for one specific class, wherein the specific class is lower in the hierarchical system than an actual class of the image. The image is then processed by a forward pass through the adapted neural net to generate a processing result. An image processing algorithm is then used to analyse the processing result focused on features corresponding to the specific class.
