    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and techniques for discriminating hand and machine print from each other, and from signatures, are disclosed and include determining a color depth of an image, the color depth corresponding to at least one of grayscale, bi-tonal and color; reducing color depth of non-bi-tonal images to generate a bi-tonal representation of the image; identifying a set of one or more graphical line candidates in either the bi-tonal image or the bi-tonal representation, the graphical line candidates including one or more of true graphical lines and false positives; discriminating any of the true graphical lines from any of the false positives; removing the true graphical lines from the bi-tonal image or the bi-tonal representation without removing the false positives to generate a component map comprising connected components and excluding graphical lines; and identifying one or more of the connected components in the component map.

    Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and computer program products for detecting, estimating, calculating, etc. characteristics of a document based on reference objects depicted on the document are disclosed. In one approach, a computer-implemented method for processing a digital image depicting a document includes analyzing the digital image to determine one or more of a presence and a location of one or more reference objects; determining one or more geometric characteristics of at least one of the reference objects; defining one or more region(s) of interest based at least in part on one or more of the determined geometric characteristics; and detecting a presence or an absence of an edge of the document within each defined region of interest. Additional embodiments leverage the type of document depicted in the image, multiple frames of image data, and/or calculate or extrapolate document edges rather than locating edges in the image.

    Abstract: A method includes: displaying a digital image on a first portion of a display of a mobile device; receiving user feedback via the display of the mobile device; analyzing the user feedback to determine a meaning of the user feedback; based on the determined meaning of the user feedback, analyzing a portion of the digital image corresponding to either the point of interest or the region of interest to detect one or more connected components depicted within the portion of the digital image; classifying each detected connected component depicted within the portion of the digital image; estimating an identity of each detected connected component based on the classification of the detected connected component; and one or more of: displaying the identity of each detected connected component on a second portion of the display of the mobile device; and providing the identity of each detected connected component to a workflow.

    Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and computer program products for determining distance between an object and a capture device are disclosed. The distance determination techniques are based on image data captured by the capture device, where the image data represent the object. These techniques improve the function of capture devices such as mobile phones by enabling determination of distance using a single lens capture device, and based on intrinsic parameters of the capture device, such as focal length and scaling factor(s), in preferred approaches. In some approaches, the distance estimation may be based in part on a priori knowledge regarding size of the object represented in the image data. Distance determination may be based on a homography transform and/or reference image data representing the object, a same type or similar type of object, in more approaches.
