Patent number: 11120505Abstract: A system processes a set of images to verify whether the images depict a type of property damage, such as hail damage from a hail storm. The system receives digital images of a roof or other facet of the property that were taken by an image capturing device after the storm event. The system also receives storm data relating to the storm event and claim data related to a property damage claim. The system uses the claim data to process the digital images to automatically identify damage to the roof or other facet. The system then analyzes the storm data to determine whether the damage is consistent with an actual, naturally-occurring storm event, and it generates a report depicting its findings.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2016Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Conduent Business Services, LLCInventors: Richard L. Howe, Edgar A. Bernal, Valerie J. Raburn, Matthew Adam Shreve

Patent number: 11055786Abstract: A system segments a set of images of a property to identify a type of damage to the property. The system receives, from an image capturing device, a digital image of a roof or other feature of the property. The system processes the image to identify a set of segments, in which each segment corresponds to a piece of the feature, such as a tab or tooth of a shingle on the roof. The system saves a result of the processing to a data file as a segmented image of the property, and it uses the segmented image to identify a type of damage to the property.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2016Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Conduent Business Services, LLCInventors: Matthew Adam Shreve, Edgar A. Bernal, Richard L. Howe

Patent number: 10839227Abstract: A system and method to identify the leader of a group in a retail, restaurant, or queue-type setting (or virtually any setting) through recognition of payment gestures. The method comprises acquiring initial video of a group, developing feature models for members of the group, acquiring video at a payment location, identifying a payment gesture in the acquired video, defining the person making the gesture as the leader of the group, and forwarding/backtracking through the video to identify timings associated with leader events (e.g., entering, exiting, ordering, etc.).Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Conduent Business Services, LLCInventors: Michael C. Mongeon, Matthew Adam Shreve, Robert P. Loce

Patent number: 10818007Abstract: Systems and methods for determining an apparent skin age of a person and providing customized skin care product recommendations. The system utilizes a computing device to mask facial macro features in an image of a person and then analyze the image with a convolutional neural network to determine an apparent skin age of the person. Determining the apparent skin age may include identifying at least one pixel that is indicative of skin age and utilizing the at least one pixel to provide the apparent skin age. The system may be used to determine a target skin age of a person, determine a skin care product or skin care regimen for achieving the target skin age, and provide an option for a user to purchase the product.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2018Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Ankur Purwar, Paul Jonathan Matts, Matthew Adam Shreve, Wencheng Wu, Beilei Xu

Patent number: 10574883Abstract: Systems and methods for improving the image quality of a selfie. The system and method include analyzing a selfie with image processing modules and selfie quality index modules. The image processing modules process the image using face and landmark detection techniques and face normalization techniques. The selfie quality index modules analyze the selfie for important image quality metrics and provide feature vectors that are used to generate a selfie quality index score. The selfie quality index score can be used to determine whether the selfie meet minimum threshold quality requirement for further analysis by the system for a skin condition.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignees: The Procter & Gamble Company, Palo Alto Research Center IncorporatedInventors: Ankur N M N Purwar, Paul Jonathan Matts, Matthew Adam Shreve, Wencheng N M N Wu

Patent number: 10511676Abstract: A system for assessing a property damage claim uses an imaging device to capture images of a property that has reportedly been damaged by an incident. The system receives a property damage incident type, along with image processing criteria for processing images that are associated with the incident type. The system automatically processes the images according to the image processing criteria to identify one or more characteristics in the images and, based on the identified characteristics, determines whether certain claim processing criteria are satisfied. The claim processing criteria may help the system determine whether the property actually was damaged by the reported incident. The system will generate a command to process the property damage claim only if the system determines that one or more images show that the claim processing criteria are satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2016Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Conduent Business Services, LLCInventors: Richard L. Howe, Valerie J. Raburn, Edgar A. Bernal, Matthew Adam Shreve, Peter Paul, Pramod Sankar Kompalli

Patent number: 10242282Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for generating redacted video of a scene captured using a video camera and augmenting a manual review process of the redacted video of the scene. According to an exemplary embodiment, a video of the scene is redacted via probability-based analysis to detect and obscure privacy sensitive objects included in the captured video. A manual review process of the generated redacted video is augmented to use the object detection probability to enhance the reviewing video frame rate to expedite the manual review process.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2017Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Conduent Business Services, LLCInventors: Robert P.
