Patent ID: 8238638

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for determining whether an electronic check image is suitable for image quality analysis, comprising the steps of: reading, by a computer, an electronic check image comprising a plurality of tags; determining, by the computer, whether the plurality of tags meet a tag standard; in response to determining that the plurality of tags do not meet the tag standard, determining, by the computer, that the electronic check image is not suitable for image quality analysis; in response to determining that the plurality of tags meet the tag standard, determining, by the computer, that the electronic check image is suitable for image quality analysis and performing an image quality analysis on the electronic check image to produce an image quality value; determining, by the computer, an intended purpose of the electronic check image; reading, by the computer, an image quality threshold based on the intended purpose of the electronic check image; comparing, by the computer, the image quality threshold with the image quality value; in response to determining that the image quality value does not meet the image quality threshold, performing, by the computer, an image usability analysis on the electronic check image and reading an image confidence score based on the image usability analysis; and creating, by the computer, an image composite score based on the image confidence score and the image quality value.
