System and method of border detection on a document and for producing an image of the document
First Claim
1. A system of border detection on a document and for producing an image of the document, comprising:
- a frequency specific reflective border on the document;
an image capture device;
a filter tuned to the frequency of the reflective border;
a border detection algorithm;
a processor communicatively linked to the image capture device, and to the filter;
the image capture device being configured to capture an image of the document;
the processor being configured to apply the filter to the captured image and to produce a second frame;
the processor being further configured to apply the border detection algorithm to the second frame to determine a document border mask; and
the processor being further configured to apply the border mask to the captured document image to produce a document image.

Abstract
A system of border detection on a document and for producing an image of the document is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, the system comprises: a frequency specific reflective border on the document; an image capture device; a filter tuned to the frequency of the reflective border; a border detection algorithm; and a processor communicatively linked to the image capture device, to the notch filter, and to the border detection algorithm. The image capture device is configured to capture an image of the document. The processor is configured to apply the filter to the captured image and to produce a second frame. The processor is further configured to apply the border detection algorithm to the second frame to determine a document border mask. The processor is further configured to apply the border mask to the captured image to produce a document image.

9. A method for document capture with border detection, comprising:
-
providing a border with a reflective specified frequency on a document to be captured; capturing an image of the document using an image capture device; applying a filter tuned to the frequency of the border to the captured image; producing a second frame after applying the filter; applying a border detection algorithm to the second frame to determine a document border mask; and applying the border mask to the captured image to produce a document image. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
