  • Publication number: 20240145068
    Abstract: Data distribution and analysis systems, and associated methods are described herein. In one aspect, a method for distributing data can include: receiving, by a computing service and from a medical data server, medical image data stored by the PACS; inputting the medical image data into a machine learning model hosted by the computing service, wherein the computing service allows users to upload machine learning models and configure corresponding machine learning models to interface with the medical data server; generating, by the machine learning model, additional biometric data corresponding to the medical image data; and sending the additional biometric data to the medical data server, wherein the additional biometric data and the medical image data is incorporated into an electronic health record (EHR).

  • Publication number: 20140046954
    Abstract: A software tool is described in which a document authentication software engine is tightly integrated with software for creating and managing reference templates for identifying different types of security documents, such as passports and driver's licenses. This integration allows an operator to test each individual change as a document reference template is being created to shorten the creation time and improve the accuracy of the template.

  • Patent number: 8540158
    Abstract: Techniques are described for identifying and validating security documents according to a dynamic document identification framework. For example, a security document authentication device includes an image capture interface that receives the captured images of a document and a memory that stores a plurality of document type objects within a data structure according to the dynamic document identification framework. The security document authentication device also includes a document processing engine that traverses the data structure by selectively invoking one or more of the plurality of processes to identify the captured images as one of the plurality of document type objects.

  • Patent number: 8194933
    Abstract: Techniques are described for identifying and validating security documents according to an Eigen image process method. For example, a security document authentication device selects one or more reference documents of different document types, calculates, from the reference documents, one or more Eigen images and Eigen values for the plurality of different document types, and calculates a reference weight coefficient vector of each of the plurality of document types. Upon receiving at least one captured image of an unknown document, the device calculates a weight coefficient vector of the captured image, compares the weight coefficient vector of the captured image and each of the reference weight coefficient vectors of the document types to calculate a plurality of distances, and, based on the plurality of distances, identifies the unknown document as one of the plurality of document types.
