Systems and methods for detecting and classifying objects in video captured using mobile devices

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• logic in and/or executable by the processor to cause the processor to:
• invoke an image capture interface via a mobile device, the capture interface comprising a viewfinder represented on a display of the mobile device;
• analyze a plurality of frames of video data captured via the capture interface, wherein the analysis comprises:
• determining whether an object exhibiting one or more defining characteristics is depicted within the viewfinder;
• and
• determining whether the object depicted within the viewfinder satisfies one or more predetermined quality control criteria;
• and
• in response to determining a frame fails one or more of the predetermined quality control criteria, display an indication of the failure on the mobile device display;
• and
• in response to determining the object depicted within the viewfinder satisfies the one or more predetermined quality control criteria, one or more of:
• display an indication that the object depicted in the viewfinder exhibits the one or more defining characteristics;
• automatically capture an image of the object, wherein the image is characterized by a resolution higher than a resolution of the video data;
• and
• automatically store to a memory one or more of the frames in which the object satisfying the predetermined quality control criteria is depicted in the viewfinder.

A computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code readable/executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
• invoke an image capture interface via a mobile device, the capture interface comprising a viewfinder represented on a display of the mobile device;
• analyze a plurality of frames of video data captured via the capture interface, wherein the analysis comprises:
• determining whether an object exhibiting one or more defining characteristics is depicted within the viewfinder;
• and
• determining whether the object depicted within the viewfinder satisfies one or more predetermined quality control criteria;
• and
• in response to determining a frame fails one or more of the predetermined quality control criteria, display an indication of the failure on the mobile device display;
• and
• in response to determining the object depicted within the viewfinder satisfies the one or more predetermined quality control criteria, one or more of:
• display an indication that the object depicted in the viewfinder exhibits the one or more defining characteristics;
• automatically capture an image of the object, wherein the image is characterized by a resolution higher than a resolution of the video data;
• and
• automatically store to a memory one or more of the frames in which the object satisfying the predetermined quality control criteria is depicted in the viewfinder.
