Abstract:
1. A method for automatically capturing of an electronic image of documents based on results of a preliminary analysis of a current view in a viewfinder, the method comprising: selecting a frame in the viewfinder; converting the frame into a binary version of the frame; computing a horizontal histogram of distribution of pixels along horizontal direction of the binarized version of the frame; computing a vertical histogram of distribution of pixels along vertical direction of the binarized version of the frame; performing segmentation of the binarized version of the frame using the horizontal histogram and the vertical histogram resulting in one or more horizontal and vertical segments, wherein each of the one or more horizontal and vertical segments corresponds to one document included in the frame; identifying at least one document in the selected frame, wherein one or more parameters are associated with the at least one document; comparing values of one or more parameters associated with the at least one identified document with predetermined values for the one or more parameters; and capturing the at least one document upon determining that values of the one or more parameters associated with the document match predetermined values corresponding to the one or parameters.
