Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and techniques for detecting and/or reconstructing objects depicted in digital image data within a three-dimensional space are disclosed. The concepts utilize internal features for detection and reconstruction, avoiding reliance on information derived from location of edges. The inventive concepts provide an improvement over conventional techniques since objects may be detected and/or reconstructed even when edges are obscured or not depicted in the digital image data. In one aspect, detecting a document depicted in a digital image includes: detecting a plurality of identifying features of the document, wherein the plurality of identifying features are located internally with respect to the object; projecting a location of one or more edges of the document based at least in part on the plurality of identifying features; and outputting the projected location of the one or more edges of the document to a display of a computer, and/or a memory.

Abstract: Techniques for binarization and extraction of information from image data are disclosed. The inventive concepts include independently binarizing portions of the image data on the basis of individual features, e.g. per connected component, and using multiple different binarization thresholds to obtain the best possible binarization result for each portion of the image data. Determining the quality of each binarization result may be based on attempted recognition and/or extraction of information therefrom. Independently binarized portions may be assembled into a contiguous result. In one embodiment, a method includes: identifying a region of interest within a digital image; generating a plurality of binarized images based on the region of interest using different binarization thresholds; subjecting the region of interest within a digital image to a plurality of thresholding and extraction iterations; and extracting data from some or all of the plurality of binarized images. Corresponding systems and computer program products are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for mobile image data capture and processing are disclosed. The techniques encompass receipt or capture of digital image data, detecting an object such as a document depicted in a digital image corresponding to the digital image data, processing the digital image to improve image quality, classifying the object from the processed image data, and extracting useful information from the object. Processing may improve image quality by correcting artifacts such as distortion, skew, blur, shadows, etc. common to digital images captured using mobile devices. Classification is based on identifying unique features (and/or combinations thereof) within the image data and determining whether the identified features indicate the object belongs to a class of known objects having similar characteristics, or is unique to all known classes. Extraction is based in whole or in part on object classification. All operations may be performed using mobile technology exclusively.
