System and method for user-specific captchas

A system for gathering images for use in a Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) challenge, the system comprising:

• a processor and memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
• receive information about an asset owned by a user;
• submit a query for an image representative of the asset owned by the user, the query including the information about the asset, and receiving a returned image, wherein submitting the query includes sending the query to an online search engine;
• apply a machine learning algorithm to the returned image to detect an object matching the information about the asset;
• upon failing to detect the object within the returned image using the machine learning algorithm, causing the returned image to be presented, via a user interface, to a human reviewer for confirmation that the returned image includes an item matching the information about the asset;
• and
• store the returned image as an asset image in the memory, wherein the returned image is configured to be used in a CAPTCHA challenge for the user at a later time.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for gathering images for use in a Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) challenge, the operations comprising:

• receiving information about an asset owned by a user;
• submitting a query for an image representative of the asset owned by the user, the query including the information about the asset, and receiving a returned image, wherein the submitting the query includes sending the query to an online search engine;
• applying a machine learning algorithm to the returned image to detect an object matching the information about the asset;
• upon failing to detect the object within the returned image using the machine learning algorithm, causing the returned image to be presented, via a user interface, to a human reviewer for confirmation that the returned image includes an item matching the information about the asset;
• and
• storing the returned image as an asset image, wherein the returned image is configured to be used in a CAPTCHA challenge for the user at a later time.
