The present invention relates to a smart license plate detection system for all types of motor vehicles, both land and sea. The system comprises of a smart license plate and at least three colored lights, primarily green, yellow, and red, that establish an order to follow and may be on the vehicles when they are in motion, whether on land or on water, similar to traffic lights anywhere in the world. These colors may surround the square on the smart license plate's smart board that identifies the vehicle's state, and the public order officer may use the smart license plate detection system to prosecute the vehicle's owner for any misconduct. The system comprises a main unit comprising a microcontroller associated with a plurality of components to perform a plurality of operations, a communication block, and a cloud server adapted to store received data accessed using an application.

A neural network training method and a document image understanding method is provided. The neural network training method includes: acquiring text comprehensive features of a plurality of first texts in an original image; replacing at least one original region in the original image to obtain a sample image including a plurality of first regions and a ground truth label for indicating whether each first region is a replaced region; acquiring image comprehensive features of the plurality of first regions; inputting the text comprehensive features of the plurality of first texts and the image comprehensive features of the plurality of first regions into a neural network model together to obtain text representation features of the plurality of first texts; determining a predicted label based on the text representation features of the plurality of first texts; and training the neural network model based on the ground truth label and the predicted label.

The technology described herein generates a unique identifier for a visual media that comprises pre-printed visual indications on the visual media and a user's handwritten signature. The location of the signature on the visual media can be determined by including preprinted fiducial marks on the visual media. The fiducial markers act as landmarks that allow the size and location of the signature to be determined in absolute terms. The unique identifier is then stored in computer memory on a user-experience server. The user-experience server can associate the unique identifier with a digital asset, such as an image or video, designated by the user. When the unique identifier is provided to the user-experience server a second time, the digital asset can be retrieved and output to the computing device that provided the unique identifier.

An apparatus and method for processing a captured image and, more particularly, for processing a captured image comprising a document. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprising a camera to capture documents is described. In another embodiment, a method for processing a captured image that includes a document comprises the steps of distinguishing an imaged document from its background, adjusting the captured image to reduce distortions created from use of a camera and properly orienting the document is described.

An address recognition apparatus has an address recognition section, and a non-addressee determination section. The address recognition section acquires, based on an image of an object, address information described on the object. The non-addressee determination section determines, based on a comparison result of information relating to first address information that is the address information acquired in the address recognition section at a desired timing, and information relating to second address information that is the address information acquired in the address recognition section before the first address information, whether or not the first address information is a non-destination address that is not an address of an addressee.

Systems, methods, devices and computer readable media for determining a geographical location of a license plate are described herein. A first image of a license plate is acquired by a first image acquisition device of a camera unit and a second image of the license plate is acquired by a second image acquisition device of the camera unit. A three-dimensional position of the license plate relative to the camera unit is determined based on stereoscopic image processing of the first image and the second image. A geographical location of the camera unit is obtained. A geographical location of the license plate is determined from the three-dimensional position of the license plate relative to the camera unit and the geographical location of the camera unit. Other systems, methods, devices and computer readable media for detecting a license plate and identifying a license plate are described herein.

A method to extract content written on a marker board is disclosed. The method includes generating, by a computer processor, a sequence of samples from a video stream, wherein the video stream comprises a series of images of the marker board, generating, by the computer processor, a center of mass (COM) of foreground content of each sample in the sequence of samples, detecting, by the computer processor and based on a predetermined criterion, a stabilized change of the COM in the sequence of samples, and extracting, based at least on detecting the stabilized change, a portion of static written content from the video stream.

An automated quoting system and method is disclosed that may employ a machine-learning model to interpret and extract information from a digital image. The machine learning model may be operable to verify the customer information received and employ prefill data services to compare and merge information together with the information extracted from the digital image. The automated system may use the extracted and acquired customer data to generate and provide one or more quotes to a customer.
