  • Publication number: 20240168993
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and embodiments related to analyzing the content of digital images. A computer extracts multiple sets of visual features, which can be keypoints, based on an image of a selected object. Each of the multiple sets of visual features is extracted by a different visual feature extractor. The computer further extracts a visual word count vector based on the image of the selected object. An image query is executed based on the extracted visual features and the extracted visual word count vector to identify one or more candidate template objects of which the selected object may be an instance. When multiple candidate template objects are identified, a matching algorithm compares the selected object with the candidate template objects to determine a particular candidate template of which the selected object is an instance.

  • Patent number: 11861471
    Abstract: A technique making use of a few-shot model to determine graphical features present in an image based on a small set of examples with known graphical features. Where a support set including a number of images that each have a known combination of graphical features, the image recognition can identify unknown combinations of those graphical features in any number of query images. In an embodiment of the present disclosure examples of a filled-out form are used to interpret any number of additional filled out versions of the form.

  • Patent number: 11847418
    Abstract: A technique making use of a few-shot model to determine whether a query text content belongs to a same language as a small set of examples, or alternatively provide a next member in the same language to the small set of examples. The related few-shot model makes use of convolutional models that are trained in a “learning-to-learn” fashion such that the models know how to evaluate few-shots that belong to the same language. The term “language” in this usage is broader than spoken languages (e.g., English, Spanish, German, etc.). “Language” refers to a category, or data domain, of expression through characters. Belonging to a given language is not specifically based on what the language is, but the customs or traits expressed in that language.

  • Patent number: 10824801
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and embodiments related to interactively predicting fields in a form. A computer system received an image of a form. A user moves a cursor to a first field of the form, and the computer system automatically displays a predicted location of the field, including a bounding box that represents a boundary of the field. The computer system further predicts the field name/label based on text in the document. The user clicks on the field to indicate that he wants to digitize the field. When needed, the user interactively modifies the size of the bounding box that represents the extent of the field, changes the name/label of the field. Once finalized, the user can cause the field information (e.g., the bounding box coordinate, the bounding box location, the name/label of the field, etc.) to be written to a database.

  • Patent number: 10803309
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for determining a given variation of a form used by a filled in instance of that type of form from amongst a number of form templates. The given instance is aligned to each of the variants or form templates. The result of the alignment includes a series of key points that did not match up well (“bad” key points). The bad key points are taken from the form templates. Then, a set of pixel patches from around each of the bad key points of the form templates are extracted. The pixel patches are individually compared to corresponding pixel patches of the instance. The comparison generates a match score. The form template having the greatest match score is the correct form template.
