  • Patent number: 12373886
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments for a camera guide alignment and auto-capture system with image processing. An embodiment operates by generating a base image of a document as displayed within a viewfinder of a camera that includes a visual guide. A tilt associated with the base image is identified. One or coordinates corresponding to a position of the visual guide are identified. A perspective correction is performed on the base image based on the coordinate(s) to generate a corrected image, in which the tilt is reduced. A preview of the corrected image is provided for display within the viewfinder. The corrected image is provided for storage or further processing.

  • Publication number: 20250182084
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable device for a remote deposit environment. The method may include using a mobile device to identify a substantially level surface within a field of view of a camera of the mobile device; display an image stream of a physical environment including the substantially level surface and a virtual model of a financial instrument, the virtual model of the financial instrument depicted as having a position and orientation relative to the substantially level surface; instruct a user to position a financial instrument such that the financial instrument is aligned with the virtual model; determine a distance from the mobile device to the financial instrument and an orientation of the mobile device relative to at least one of the financial instrument or the substantially level surface; and based on the distance and the orientation of the mobile device, automatically capture an image.

  • Publication number: 20250156835
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, device, method and/or computer program product embodiments for providing a mid-stream deposit availability schedule to a customer electronically depositing a check. The deposit availability schedule is generated by activating a mobile financial application, receiving a customer request to deposit a financial instrument, and based on the customer request, activating a camera on the client mobile device to access a field of view of at least one camera and capture one or more images of a financial instrument, store, in a computer memory on the client mobile device, the one or more images. An optical character recognition program, resident on the client mobile device, extracts in real-time, one or more data fields from one or more portions of the financial instrument, communicates the one or more data fields to a remote deposit server and receives a deposit availability schedule, before acceptance of the remote deposit.

  • Publication number: 20250117764
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, device, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof for blending multiple images of a financial instrument (e.g., check) into a single blended image to mitigate potential image errors. The method generates a number of images of the financial instrument and builds a blended image by blending pixel content of common pixels from set of the images and communicates the blended image to a remote deposit server.

  • Patent number: 12175438
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, device, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof for blending multiple images of a financial instrument (e.g., check) into a single blended image to mitigate potential image errors. The method generates a confidence score for each of the plurality of images of the financial instrument, selects, based on the confidence score, a number of images of the financial instrument, ranks the number of images, arranging them from a highest to lowest confidence score, and assigns a weighting value, such as transparency, to each image of the selected number of images of the financial instrument, based on a respective ranking. The method builds a blended image by blending pixel content of common pixels, as modified by a respective weighting value, from the number of images and communicates the blended image to a remote deposit server.
