1. A mobile image capture and processing system for checks, comprising:

  • a mobile communication device including;

    an image capturing device configured to capture an image of a check;

    a processor configured to execute program instructions to perform the operations of;

    capturing a first image of a check using the image capture device;

    automatically detecting the check within the first image, wherein automatically detecting the check further comprisesconverting the first image to a color icon image, wherein the first image is in color,reducing color within the color icon image, resulting in a gray-scale icon image, anddetermining a plurality of corners belonging to the check within the grey-scale icon image;

    geometrically correcting the first image, resulting in a second image;

    wherein the mobile communication device further comprises a transmitter for transmitting the second image to a server;

    a server configured to receive the second image from the mobile communication device, wherein a processor of the server is configured to execute program instructions to perform the operations of;

    binarizing the second image, resulting in a third image;

    correcting the orientation of the third image, resulting in a fourth image; and

    correcting the size of the fourth image, resulting in a fifth image; and
