Claim One:
1. A method of correcting a three-dimensional distortion in an image of a document comprising the steps of: embedding a marker in the document, the marker including a predetermined marker orientation; capturing a full image that includes the image of the document, a marker orientation appearing in the captured full image, wherein the marker when captured in the full image is virtually altered to appear as the marker orientation, the marker orientation being a three-dimensional virtual projection of the marker and appearing in place of the marker; identifying the marker orientation of the marker within the image of the document; comparing the marker orientation of the marker within the image of the document to the predetermined marker orientation, wherein the predetermined marker orientation is a desired marker orientation, representing the marker orientation without the three-dimensional distortion; determining a transformation to remove the three-dimensional distortion in the image of the document; and applying the transformation to the captured full image.
