  • Publication number: 20230154210
    Abstract: A license plate character recognition method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method comprises: after obtaining a vehicle image captured by an image capturing device, positioning a vehicle plate area in the vehicle image to obtain a license plate image, and performing feature extraction on the license plate image by means of a convolutional neural network comprising a residual network structure. Gradient vanishing is effectively avoided and feature loss in a convolutional process of the convolutional neural network is reduced, so that a bidirectional recurrent neural network model can accurately recognize license plate characters in the license plate image on the basis of feature information of the license plate image.

  • Publication number: 20230061746
    Abstract: A method comprises storing a plurality of accounts; and generating a hierarchical data structure from the plurality of accounts by: identifying a first set of accounts and a second set of accounts responsive to the first set of accounts and the second set of accounts satisfying a first set of rules; linking the first set of accounts to a first entity profile and the second set of accounts to a second entity profile; and responsive to the first plurality of profile attribute-value pairs and the second plurality of profile attribute-value pairs of the second entity profile satisfying a second set of rules, linking the first entity profile and the second entity profile to a household entity profile by inserting a household identifier into a household attribute-value pair of each account of the first set of accounts and the second set of accounts.

  • Patent number: 11010392
    Abstract: Searching data for a user includes searching a first set of data that is directly accessible to the user to provide a first set of search results, searching a second set of data that is not directly accessible to the user to provide a second set of search results, comparing the search results, and, if at least a portion of the second set of search results is better than the first set of search results, causing the portion to be provided to the user. Causing the portion to be provided to the user may include obtaining permission from an entity that controls permissions to the portion of the second set. The entity that controls permissions to the portion of the second set may be an owner of the portion. The first set of data may be determined based on credentials and sharing permissions of the user.

  • Patent number: 10983983
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for identifying data entries associated with an entity. A first rule is applied on a plurality of data entries associated with a plurality of entities to obtain a first set of data entries from the plurality of data entries. Each data entry includes corresponding attributes. The first rule is to search for data entries with a first group of attributes. A second rule is applied on the plurality of data entries associated with a plurality of entities to obtain a second set of data entries from the plurality of data entries. The second rule is to search for data entries with a second group of attributes. A third set of data entries associated with a single entity is obtained based on the first set of data entries and the second set of data entries.
