Smart Engines: System for efficient localization and identification of documents in images

2023: U.S. Patent Registration for an Effective Image Document Localization and Identification System

Scientists the Russian AI- the company Smart Engines on February 7, 2023 patented in the United States , a system of effective localization identifications and documents on images. The authors of the invention are scientific an employee -programmer Smart Engines Natalya Skoryukina, General Director of Smart Engines Ph.D., Vladimir Arlazarov Technical Director of Smart Engines Ph.D. Dmitry Nikolaev The author is also one of the developers of the Kaissa chess program, which won the championship among, world computers who died in 2020, Ph.D. Igor Faradzhev. This was announced on February 10, 2023 by Smart Engines.

As the inventors explain, the essence of the invention is that features of different nature are used to effectively localize and identify documents in images.

This allows you to determine the document type and eliminate distortion if necessary, i.e. restore the original coordinate system. The invention differs from other works in that we analyze both local and global features in the image (from individual characters to the boundaries of documents, its color, brightness, etc.). The system is designed so that you can easily add other types of documents and remove those that are no longer supported. She does not need retraining and a single prototype image is enough, in which she does not even need to see parts with personal data - they can simply be "smeared," told Natalia Skoryukina.

The patented system can start and quickly works on all possible types of devices, both on the server and on the smartphone. In addition, depending on the device, an algorithm for detecting document features is selected. Algorithms that are used on mobile devices take into account that the document is in the hands of a person and adapts to its actions.

The process of patenting this invention in the United States began several years ago.

Not so often do Russian companies get a patent in America. The company is pleased that the second invention is in the form of intellectual property in the United States. Invention registration is very important for the development of Smart Engines business in the States. The technology is already used in the system of autonomous recognition of ID cards, passports and other Smart ID Engine documents, commented on the CEO of Smart Engines, Ph.D. Vladimir Arlazarov.
