1.Vehicle Insurance Claim assisting software (For CCC Information Services)

Objective of this application is to get all the required information from the user, which is required to register a claim in the case of any accident from a vehicle. Information can be text and in the form of images. The other significant strength of this application is about configurability. This application is completely configurable both by UI and functionality just by setting flags in configuration file. And we were able to deliver customized application to few of the biggest insurance players in the market.

Some key features:

1.Worked with Google’s Machine Learning library to understand it’s OCR. Extracted the OCR logic from Google ML and incorporated that to Barcode/QR Code libraries (Zxing, Scandit etc) to make them scan faster even if Barcode/QR Code are not clear.

2.Blur detection of captured image using OpenCV library.

3.Image brightness/darkness auto-detection using a calculation based on pixel luminance and threshold. Self-written algorithm.

4.Image enhancement based on defect detected from above algorithm.

5.Video compression.

6.Video 360 – It looks and feels like Photoshpere but only pans 180. Achieved using media extractor framework and gesture listener.

7.SSL Certificate Pinning.

8.Writing proguard rules for app and libraries.

9.Releasing app in multiple flavors. (e.g., DEV, QA, PROD, CT, INT etc.)

10.Multilingual support. Support was also extended to HTML files which was used for Help, Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

11.Whitelabelling application - Completely configurable including UI component, color, images, application states. Complete configuration can be changed just through one file. Have designed it in the way that it doesn't requires programming knowledge to release application for a different Company.

12.VIN (barcode) scanner using Zxing library with extended support for Code39.

Challenges:

Making a Logarithmic line graph. There was no readily available graph libraries available. This was developed from scratch using simple canvas and paint. Also had to learn and derive few mathematical formulae to achieve logarithmic scaled points out of linear graph points.

Also the graph was required to change its shape as per users gesture interaction with graph. Curves was supposed to be smooth after processing plot points using Special Quadratic Bezier Equation, which was achieved after few days of dedication and hard work.
