Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method of processing an driver's license image, comprising: receiving an image captured by a mobile device, wherein the image includes a driver's license image surrounded by a background portion; performing a shape detection test on the image to produce a first set of coordinates representing a set of edges of the driver's license image; performing a rounded corner detection test on the image to produce a second set of coordinates associated with a set of corners of the driver's license image; combining the first set of coordinates and the second set of coordinates to generate a set of cropping parameters associated with borders of the driver's license image; cropping the image based at least on the cropping parameters to remove the background portion of the image to obtain the cropped driver's license image; binarizing the cropped driver's license image to produce a binarized cropped driver's license image; and outputting the binarized cropped driver's license image.
