Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed to personalize image capture operations of imaging equipment according to models that correspond uniquely to subjects being imaged. According to these techniques, a subject's face may be detected from a first image supplied by an image source and a first model of the subject may be developed from the detected face. The first model of the subject may be compared to another model of the subject developed from other images. Image adjustment parameters may be generated from a comparison of these models, which may control image adjustment techniques that are applied to the newly captured image of the subject. In this manner, aspects of the present disclosure may generate image capture operations that are tailored to characteristics of the subjects being imaged and avoid artifacts that otherwise could cause image degradation.

Abstract: Techniques for an email-security system to screen emails, extract information from the emails, analyze the information, assign probability scores to the emails, and classify the emails as likely fraudulent or not. The system may analyze emails for users and identify fraudulent emails by analyzing the contents of the emails. The system may evaluate the contents of the emails to determine probability score(s) which may further determine an overall probability score. The system may then classify the email as fraudulent, or not, and may perform actions including blocking the email, allowing the email, flagging the email, etc. In some instances, the screened emails may include legitimate brand domain addresses, names, images, URL(s), and the like. However, the screened emails may contain a reply-to domain address that matches a free email service provider domain. In such instances, the email-security system may assign a probability score indicative that the screened email is fraudulent.
