Abstract

Methods and systems for processing an image are described. A saliency map is generated from the image. The saliency map indicates one or more salient portions of the image that have saliency values satisfying a saliency criterion. A scene graph is generated for at least the one or more salient portions. The scene graph represents a plurality of objects detected in the image. The scene graph further represents one or more relationships between each respective object pairs. One or more dataset entries associated with the image are generated. Each of the one or more relationships for each of the one or more object pairs is indicated by a respective dataset entry. The one or more dataset entries are stored in a first dataset.
