Abstract: According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method is configured for building a classification and/or data extraction knowledge base using an electronic form. The method includes: receiving an electronic form having associated therewith a plurality of metadata labels, each metadata label corresponding to at least one element of interest represented within the electronic form; parsing the plurality of metadata labels to determine characteristic features of the element(s) of interest; building a representation of the electronic form based on the plurality of metadata labels; generating a plurality of permutations of the representation of the electronic form by applying a predetermined set of variations to the representation; and training either a classification model, an extraction model, or both using: the representation of the electronic form, and the plurality of permutations of the representation of the electronic form. Corresponding systems and computer program products are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for performing workflows using a mobile device, without requiring tactile input from the user. The workflow is thus “touchless” and may utilize input preferably including optical data and/or audio data. Tactile input may be optionally provided in some embodiments, but the workflow is configured to be performed without any tactile input. Accordingly, in one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for performing a touchless mobile workflow includes: invoking a mobile application using a mobile device; receiving auditory input via the mobile device; and performing a business workflow via the mobile application based on the auditory input. Corresponding systems and computer program product embodiments configured for touchless mobile workflows are also described.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and computer program products for determining distance between an object and a capture device are disclosed. The distance determination techniques are based on image data captured by the capture device, where the image data represent the object. These techniques improve the function of capture devices such as mobile phones by enabling determination of distance using a single lens capture device, and based on intrinsic parameters of the capture device, such as focal length and scaling factor(s), in preferred approaches. In some approaches, the distance estimation may be based in part on a priori knowledge regarding size of the object represented in the image data. Distance determination may be based on a homography transform and/or reference image data representing the object, a same type or similar type of object, in more approaches.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and computer program products for processing digital images captured by a mobile device are disclosed. Myriad features enable and/or facilitate processing of such digital images using a mobile device that would otherwise be technically impossible or impractical, and furthermore address unique challenges presented by images captured using a camera rather than a traditional flat-bed scanner, paper-feed scanner or multifunction peripheral.
