Abstract:
Method and systems of automated document processing described herein include activating in sequence a plurality of illumination modules of an illumination source to illuminate a document, where the plurality of illumination modules are located at different positions relative to the document. The document can be imaged each time the document is illuminated by an illumination module to provide a plurality of images. A shadow profile of the document can be obtained based on the plurality of images. One or more of a boundary of the document and presence of a fastener attached to the document can be identified using the shadow profile. Any fasteners present may be removed using a robot arm.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein removing the identified fastener comprises:\n coupling a document transfer end effector to the robot arm; contacting a top surface of the document with the document transfer end effector coupled to the robot arm to apply a suction force upon the document to lift the document from a document pedestal on which the document is positioned to separate the document from other documents on the document pedestal; rotating a document pincher of the document transfer end effector to contact a bottom surface of the document to secure the document against the document transfer end effector; positioning a document platform under the lifted document to maintain separation of the document from the other documents; releasing the suction force applied upon the document by the document transfer end effector to place the document on the document platform; and releasing the document transfer end effector from the robot arm and coupling a fastener removal end effector to the robot arm.
