SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CLASSIFYING PAYMENT DOCUMENTS DURING MOBILE IMAGE PROCESSING
First Claim
1. A payment document classification system, comprising:
- a communication unit which receives an image of a payment document captured by a mobile device;
a preprocessing unit which extracts at least one feature from the image;
a comparison unit which compares the at least one extracted feature with at least one known feature of a payment document type to determine a likelihood that the payment document matches the at least one payment document type; and
a classification unit which classified the payment document as at least one payment document type based on the likelihood that the payment document matches the at least one payment document type.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for processing an image of a financial payment document captured using a mobile device and classifying the type of payment document in order to extract the content therein. These methods may be implemented on a mobile device or a central server, and can be used to identify content on the payment document and determine whether the payment document is ready to be processed by a business or financial institution. The system can identify the type of payment document by identifying features on the payment document and performing a series of steps to determine probabilities that the payment document belongs to a specific document type. The identification steps are arranged starting with the fastest step in order to attempt to quickly determine the payment document type without requiring lengthy, extensive analysis.
