  • Patent number: 12205370
    Abstract: Systems and methods for computer-implemented pre-optimization of input data before further processing thereof by a computer-implemented analyzation process, such as optical character recognition (OCR). A cooperative model is employed that combines one or more supervised-learning based inspector sub-models, and one or more filter sub-models that operating in series with the inspector sub-model(s). The inspectors first receive the input data and calculate one predicted transformation parameters then used to perform transformations on the input data. The inspector-transformed data is then passed to the filters, which derive respective convolution kernels and apply same to the inspector-transformed data before passing same to the OCR or other analyzation process. The inspectors may be pretrained with different training data.
