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 9):
A document processing system, comprising:\n a document pedestal configured to receive a document; an illuminating source comprising a plurality of illumination modules configured to illuminate the document, wherein each of the plurality of illumination modules are located at different positions relative to the document pedestal and configured to be illuminated in sequence to illuminate the document; an imaging device configured to capture a plurality of images, the plurality of images comprising at least one image of the document each time the document is illuminated by each of the plurality of illumination modules; and a controller unit configured to obtain a shadow profile of the document based on the plurality of images, and identify at least one of a boundary of the document and presence of a fastener attached to the document using the shadow profile.
