  • Patent number: 11978267
    Abstract: A method and related system operations include obtaining a video stream with an image sensor of a camera device, detecting a plurality of target objects by executing a neural network model based on the video stream with a vision processor unit of the camera device. The method also includes generating a plurality of bounding boxes, determining a plurality of character sequences by, for each respective bounding box of the plurality of bounding boxes, performing a set of optical character recognition (OCR) operations to determine a respective character sequence of the plurality of character sequences. The method also includes updating a plurality of tracklets to indicate the plurality of bounding boxes and storing the plurality of tracklets in association with the plurality of character sequences in a memory of the camera device.

  • Patent number: 11948373
    Abstract: Automatic license plate recognition occurs when a light sensor that continually captures video detects motion as a vehicle is driven through a gate. The light sensor detects the vehicle and license plate in the video stream captured by the light sensor. An algorithm associated with the video stream of the light sensor is trained to detect license plates. The light sensor starts executing the recognition algorithm when it detects motion. Recognition of characters in the license plate is based upon an aggregation of several captured video frames in which a license plate is detected.

  • Publication number: 20230394850
    Abstract: A method and related system operations includes, determining, for each respective frame of a frame sequence, a respective bounding box that surrounds a respective sub-image of the respective frame, determining a respective string and respective confidence values associated with the respective string based on the respective sub-image, updating the tracklet to comprise the respective bounding box based on the respective string and at least one string generated by the object recognition model for a previous frame, and updating a voting table by adding the respective confidence values to the voting table. The method also includes generating an aggregated string based on the voting table by, for a set of positions of the aggregated string, determining a character associated with a maximum confidence value indicated by the voting table and associating the aggregated string with the tracklet in a data structure.

  • Publication number: 20230196469
    Abstract: A system and method processes images of insurance cards to extract information. The images of the insurance cards are processed using OCR to identify characters on the insurance cards. Combinations of characters on each insurance card are identified as tokens, and their relative spatial orientation is determined. Deep learning architectures are utilized to generate a fully connected neural network with a node for each token on each card. The neural network is utilized to extract entities from each insurance card, such as a valid member ID.
