Abstract

A method for ascertaining an explanation map of an image. All those pixels of the image are highlighted which are significant for a classification of the image ascertained with the aid of a deep neural network. The explanation map is being selected in such a way that it selects a smallest possible subset of the pixels of the image as relevant. The explanation map leads to the same classification result as the image when the explanation map is supplied to the deep neural network for classification. The explanation map is selected in such a way that an activation caused by the explanation map does not essentially exceed an activation caused by the image in feature maps of the deep neural network.
