  • Patent number: 11354917
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11341612
    Abstract: A method for automatic correction and generation of facial images includes storing, by a computer system, multiple constraints specifying an image quality. The computer system receives a first image of a face of a user from a computer device. The computer system determines that the first image of the face of the user violates at least one constraint of the multiple constraints specifying the image quality. Responsive to the determining that the first image of the face of the user violates the at least one constraint, the computer system generates a second image of the face of the user based on the first image of the face of the user and the at least one constraint, such that the second image of the face of the user satisfies the at least one constraint. A display device of the computer system displays the second image of the face of the user.
