1. A method for imaging a document, and using a reference document to place pieces of the document in their correct relative position and resize such pieces in order to generate a single unified image, the method comprising:

  • electronically capturing a document with one or multiple images using an imaging device;

    performing pre-processing of said images to optimize the results of subsequent image recognition, enhancement, and decoding;

    comparing said images against a database of reference documents to determine the most closely fitting reference document; and

    applying knowledge from said closely fitting reference document to adjust geometrically orientation, shape, and size of said electronically captured images so that said images correspond as closely as possibly to said reference document.
