Publication number: 20230308436Abstract: A system for authenticating a user includes a memory device, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a first biometric sample associated with a user from a biometric measurement device, and receive, substantially contemporaneously with receiving the first biometric sample, an image of a user credential, where the image includes credential data, such as any of a variety of personally identifiable information. The processor may also be configured to compare the received first biometric sample to at least one of: i) a second biometric sample included in the credential data, or ii) a third biometric sample stored by an authentication database in association with the user. Likewise, in at least some embodiments, the processor may determine whether to authenticate the user, such as based upon the comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Rein-Lien Hsu, Joseph R.

Patent number: 11354917Abstract: A method for detecting images of fraudulently generated or photocopied secure credential documents using texture analysis includes receiving, by one or more processors, an image of a secure credential document from a computer device. The one or more processors segment the image of the secure credential document into multiple regions. For each region of the multiple regions, the one or more processors extract local high-resolution texture features from the image of the secure credential document. The one or more processors generate a score based on the local high-resolution texture features using a machine learning model. The score is indicative of a likelihood that the image of the secure credential document is fraudulently generated or photocopied. The one or more processors transmit a message to a display device indicating that the image of the secure credential document is fraudulently generated or photocopied.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Idemia Identity & Security USA LLCInventors: Brian K. Martin, Joseph R. Mayer, Alexandru Bogdan

Patent number: 11210542Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for obtaining, in real-time from an image capture device, a video stream comprising images of a document by a computing device. The computing device provides, for display in an image preview window, the video stream overlaid with a graphical capture guide. In response to detecting a lighting artifact in at least one image of the video stream, the computing device modifies the graphical capture guide within the image preview window. The computing device captures one or more of the images of the document from the video stream.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2020Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Idemia Identity & Security USA LLCInventors: Joseph R.

Patent number: 11200414Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for a data capture application of a computing device that receives image data for an image of a document and uses the image data to capture content on the document while minimizing glare at the document. The data capture application receives user input for positioning an image token provided for display to a user of the data capture application. Positioning the image token causes adjustment of an attribute value of the image data. In response to receiving the user input the data capture application determines whether the attribute value of the image data satisfies a predefined attribute value. Based on the attribute value satisfying the predefined attribute value, the data capture application generates a composite image of the document using the image data received by the data capture application.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2018Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Idemia Identity & Security USA LLCInventors: Timothy J. Brown, Joseph R. Mayer, Mike DiNicola, Brian Martin

Publication number: 20200202503Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for obtaining a first image of a document, the first image including first glare shown on a first portion of the document. Detecting, in the first image, the first glare shown on the first portion of the document. In response to detecting the first glare in the first image, obtaining a second image of the document, the second image including second glare shown on a second portion of the document. Generating, from the first image and the second image, a third image of the document that includes less glare than the first glare in the first image and less glare than the second glare in the second image.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2020Publication date: June 25, 2020Applicant: MorphoTrust USA, LLCInventors: Joseph R.

Publication number: 20190205634Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for obtaining, in real-time from an image capture device, a video stream that includes images of a document by a computing device. The computing device applies an artificial transformation to subsequent images of the video stream to provide transformed images of the document, where the transformed images depict an artificial transformation of the document in the subsequent images such that, in the transformed images, the document appears as if captured from a point of view relative to the image capture device that is different from an actual point of view depicted in the subsequent images before the artificial transformation is applied. The computing device provides a transformed video stream that includes the transformed images for display in an image preview window, and thereby, prompting a user to move the document with respect to the image capture device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2018Publication date: July 4, 2019Inventors: Joseph R.

Patent number: 10325374Abstract: A computer-assisted method to segment an image of an identification document that includes: accessing data encoding the image of the identification document that includes four curved corners connected by four edges; applying gradient filters to the image of the identification document to generate an edge map that reveals candidate edges that are substantially horizontal or vertical relative to borders of the identification document, the gradient filters including gradient maps that reveal horizontal as well as vertical alterations of image intensities; accessing data encoding models representing an expected range of curved corners, each model quantifying both the radial and angular extents of the curved corners; identifying combinations of candidate edges, each combination including four candidate edges that are connected at four corners; and selecting a combination of candidate edges by applying the models to each of the four corners formed by the four candidate edges of each identified combination.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: MorphoTrust USA, LLCInventor: Joseph R.
