Systems and methods for detecting and classifying objects in video captured using mobile devices
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- capturing video data using a mobile device, the video data comprising a plurality of frames;
determining whether one or more of the frames depict an object exhibiting one or more defining characteristics;
determining whether one or more of the frame(s) determined to depict the object also satisfy one or more predetermined quality control criteria; and
in response to determining one or more of the frames depict the object and also satisfy the one or more predetermined quality control criteria, automatically capturing an image of the object.

Abstract
A method includes capturing plural frames of video data using a mobile device. The frames are analyzed to determine whether any depict an object exhibiting one or more defining characteristics, and if so, whether those frame(s) depicting the object also satisfy one or more predetermined quality control criteria. If one or more of the frames depict the object and also satisfy the one or more predetermined quality control criteria, the method further includes automatically capturing an image of the object. Exemplary defining characteristics are specified for various types of object, particularly objects comprising documents. Related systems and computer program products are also disclosed. The presently disclosed techniques and systems represent translational developments across the fields of image processing and business process management. Improved analytical techniques enable processing of image captured using cameras rather than traditional scanner technology, and facilitate distribution, tracking and analysis of documents and information throughout business processes.
