Abstract:
1. A computing system implemented method for providing efficient feedback regarding captured optical image quality comprising the following, which when executed individually or collectively by any set of one or more processors perform a process including: obtaining a source document; capturing an optical image of the source document using an image capture device associated with a computing system; dividing the optical image of the source document into two or more distinct source document image test regions, each source document image test region representing only a portion of the entire optical image of the source document; performing individual and separate optical image scans on each source document image test region with regions of the source document optical image that are outside the source document test regions remaining unscanned; determining, through individual analyses of the individual and separate scans, that there are not any identifiable alpha-numeric characters or symbols present in at least one of the individual and separate scans; designating the captured optical image of the source document as being of insufficient quality to identify and extract individual characters and symbols; recommending that the optical image of the source document be re-captured using an image capture device; wherein the number of source document image test regions is determined based on the resolution of the image capture device.
