Patent number: 11270143Abstract: A computer implemented method for optical character recognition (OCR) of a character string in a text image. The method efficiently combines two different OCR engines with the computation that needs to be done by the second OCR engine depending on the results found by the first OCR engine. This method provides, in particular, a high speed and accurate results when the first OCR engine is fast and the second OCR engine is accurate. The combination is possible because the second OCR engine identifies each segment to be processed by the second OCR engine without needing to process all segments.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Inventors: Frederic Collet, Jordi Hautot, Michel Dauw

Patent number: 11263434Abstract: Disclosed is a fast side-face interference resistant face detection method, in which a user selects an ordinary image, uses a deep neural network to extract image features, and then determines an exact location of a face. A training method for face detection uses a pure data-driven manner, uses an ordinary face image and a face boundary box as inputs, uses mirror symmetry and Gaussian filtering to perform data augmentation, and uses migration learning and hard example mining to enhance training effects. After a face image is read, the image is firstly scaled, and then placed into the deep neural network to extract features, and generate a plurality of face likelihood boxes and confidence scores of the face likelihood boxes, and finally the most appropriate face likelihood box is selected in a non-maximum suppression manner. No specific requirements are set on an angle of the face image, and a detection effect of a side face is still very obvious.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2018Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: SOUTH CHINA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Han Huang, Zilong Li, Zhifeng Hao
