Patent ID: 8823991

Claim:
A computer-implemented data processing method comprising: receiving image data from a remote data acquisition device via a wireless network, wherein the data acquisition device is a mobile phone; analyzing at least portions of the image data with a first analytic engine to determine whether the image data is within a first set of parameters; generating with the first analytic engine a first set of processor settings when the image data is not within the first set of parameters; processing the image data with the first set of processor settings to generate processed data; analyzing at least portions of the processed data with a second analytic engine to determine whether the processed data is within a second set of parameters and if not, generating with the second analytic engine a second set of processor settings to reprocess the raw or normalized data, sending the second set of processor settings and metadata relating to the image data to the first analytic engine; reprocessing the image data with the first analytic engine using the second set of processor settings to generate reprocessed data, and outputting at least one of the processed data and the reprocessed data, wherein the second set of parameters is different than the first set of parameters, wherein the second set of parameters comprises a predetermined metric, and wherein at least one of the first set of processor settings and the second set of processor settings relate to one or more image characteristics selected from: brightness, contrast, gamma, erosion, orientation, segmentation, saturation, color rendering, resolution, warp angle, skew angle, despeckling, dilation and sequence detection.
