SYSTEMS FOR MOBILE IMAGE CAPTURE AND PROCESSING OF DOCUMENTS
First Claim
1. A mobile image capture and processing system for documents, comprising:
- a mobile communication device including;
a processor configured to read instructions;
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store the instructions;
an image capturing device coupled to the processor and configured to capture an image of a document;
a transmitter configured to transmit the image to a server; and
a server configured to process the image to create a bi-tonal image of the document for data extraction.

Abstract
The present invention relates to automated document processing and more particularly, to methods and systems for document image capture and processing using mobile devices. In accordance with various embodiments, methods and systems for document image capture on a mobile communication device are provided such that the image is optimized and enhanced for data extraction from the document as depicted. These methods and systems may comprise capturing an image of a document using a mobile communication device; transmitting the image to a server; and processing the image to create a bi-tonal image of the document for data extraction. Additionally, these methods and systems may comprise capturing a first image of a document using the mobile communication device; automatically detecting the document within the image; geometrically correcting the image; binarizing the image; correcting the orientation of the image; correcting the size of the image; and outputting the resulting image of the document.
