Abstract
The technology is directed to determining a class associated with an image. In some examples, a method determines the class associated with an image. The method can include determining a segmentation score for an image segment based on a comparison of the image segment and a region of an image. The region of the image can be associated with the image segment. The method further includes determining a confidence score for the image segment based on the segmentation score and a classification score. The classification score can be indicative of a similarity between the image segment and at least one class. The method further includes determining a class associated with the image based on the confidence score. The method further includes outputting the class associated with the image.
