  • Publication number: 20250086921
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, method and computer program product are provided for determining a mobile device integrity status. Images of a mobile device captured by the mobile device and using a reflective surface are processed with various trained models, such as neural networks, to verify authenticity, detect damage, and to detect occlusions. A mask is generated to enable identification of concave occlusions or blocked corners of an object, such as a mobile device, in an image. Images of the front and/or rear of a mobile device are processed to determine the mobile device integrity status such as verified, not verified, or inconclusive. A user is prompted to remove covers, remove occlusions, and/or move the mobile device closer to the reflective surface. A real-time response relating to the mobile device integrity status may be provided. The trained models may be trained to improve the accuracy of the mobile device integrity status.
