  • Patent number: 11651511
    Abstract: Computer vision systems and methods for determining roof shapes from imagery using segmentation networks are provided. The system obtains an image of a structure from an image database, and determines a flat roof structure ratio and a sloped roof structure ratio of the roof structure using a neural network. Based on segmentation processing by the neural network, the system determines a flat roof structure ratio and a sloped roof structure ratio based on a portion of the roof structure classified as being flat and a portion of the roof structure classified as being sloped. Then, the system determines a ratio of each shape type of the roof structure using a neural network. The system generates a roof structure shape report indicative of a predominant shape of the roof structure and ratios of each shape type of the roof structure.

  • Patent number: 11631266
    Abstract: An automated documentation intake and processing system involves pre-processing source images of intake documents and applying a YOLO CNN model to identify fields of interest (FOIs) therein which may contain target data. The system classifies FOIs and upsamples the contents in order to digitize and extract target data. The system may be trained to differentiate between target data and non-target data and incorporates an adjustable confidence scores which reflects the system's degree of accuracy at predicting the correct FOI (e.g., name, address, insurance number, vehicle registration number). The system is pre-trained to detect a subset of documentation types, form fields, and form field types. However, the system is configured to adapt to variations of the same types of documentation, such as different insurance cards or driver licenses from different states.

  • Patent number: 11620483
    Abstract: A model is trained to create a probability distribution of counts based on counts of distinct values stored by person profiles in a field. The model is trained to create another probability distribution of counts based on other counts of other distinct values stored by the person profiles in another field. The count of distinct values stored by a person profile in the field is identified. Another count of distinct values stored by the person profile in the other field is identified. A score is determined based on a cumulative distribution function of the count under the probability distribution of counts. Another score is determined based on the cumulative distribution function of the other count under the other probability distribution of counts. If the score and the other score combine in an overall score that satisfies a threshold, a message is output about the person profile being suspected of corruption.

  • Patent number: 11610424
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for registering a fingerprint based on optical fingerprint recognition. A fingerprint recognition window is displayed and a fingerprint frequency of a user fingerprint is analyzed based on reflected light received through the fingerprint recognition window using a fingerprint recognition sensor driven by a pixel binning scheme based on a first binning size. The first binning size may be evaluated based on the fingerprint frequency. If the first binning size is not appropriate for registering the user fingerprint, a second binning size is selected. Fingerprint information of the user fingerprint may be obtained again based on using the fingerprint recognition sensor driven by a pixel binning scheme based on the second binning size.
