  • Patent number: 12327423
    Abstract: An image processing system accesses an image of a completed form document. The image of the form document includes one or more features, such as form text, at particular locations within the image. The image processing system accesses a template of the form document and computes a rotation and zoom of the image of the form document relative to the template of the form document based on the locations of the features within the image of the form document relative to the locations of the corresponding features within the template of the form document. The image processing system performs a rotation operation and a zoom operation on the image of the form document, and extracts data entered into fields of the modified image of the form document. The extracted data can be then accessed or stored for subsequent use.

  • Patent number: 12322161
    Abstract: Various techniques are provided for training a neural network to classify images. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is trained using training dataset comprising a plurality of synthetic images. The CNN training process tracks image-related metrics and other informative metrics as the training dataset is processed. The trained inference CNN may then be tested using a validation dataset of real images to generate performance results (e.g., whether a training image was properly or improperly labeled by the trained inference CNN). In one or more embodiments, a training dataset and analysis engine extracts and analyzes the informative metrics and performance results, generates parameters for a modified training dataset to improve CNN performance, and generates corresponding instructions to a synthetic image generator to generate a new training dataset. The process repeats in an iterative fashion to build a final training dataset for use in training an inference CNN.
