  • Patent number: 9984313
    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide computer-implemented techniques for allowing a user computing device to extract financial card information using optical character recognition (“OCR”). Extracting financial card information may be improved by applying various classifiers and other transformations to the image data. For example, applying a linear classifier to the image to determine digit locations before applying the OCR algorithm allows the user computing device to use less processing capacity to extract accurate card data. The OCR application may train a classifier to use the wear patterns of a card to improve OCR algorithm performance. The OCR application may apply a linear classifier and then a nonlinear classifier to improve the performance and the accuracy of the OCR algorithm. The OCR application uses the known digit patterns used by typical credit and debit cards to improve the accuracy of the OCR algorithm.

  • Patent number: 9361695
    Abstract: In a preparation process, one workpiece W is photographed from a plurality of angles, the photographed image is segmented into patches to obtain a plurality of sample patch images, the sample patch images are classified, and each sample patch image is stored while being corresponded with a position information to a reference position of the workpiece W. Image recognition process obtains a reference position of the workpiece W in a patch image, by photographing piled-up workpieces W, segment the photographed image into patches to obtain a plurality of patch images, classify the patch images in same classification method of the sample patch images, accumulating a position information to the reference position of the workpiece W, which is stored while corresponded to the sample patch image of the same classification as the patch image for each patch image, and on the basis of the accumulated result.

  • Patent number: 9116938
    Abstract: In several aspects, an electronic device and method index a repository of N documents by W words, by not storing between queries, N*W numbers that are specific to each word i and each document j, normally used to compute a score of relevance to a query, of each document j. Instead, the electronic device and method generate the N*W word-specific -document-specific numbers dynamically at query time, based on a set of W numbers corresponding to the W words, and one or more sets (e.g. x sets) of N numbers corresponding to the N documents. Query-time generation of word-specific-document-specific numbers reduces memory otherwise required, e.g. to store these numbers. Hence, in certain aspects W+xN numbers are maintained between queries, and these numbers are changed incrementally when a new document is added to the set or an existing document is removed. Maintaining W+xN numbers reduces processing otherwise required, to start from scratch.
