An image captured by a camera can be processed by a scanning application to identify multiple regions within the image that are suitable for scanning. These regions can be detected and selected for scanning automatically. The captured regions for the single image can be stored as individual image content files.

Multi-region image scanning

A series of frames or live images received by a camera can be processed by an automatic image capture system to determine when an automatic image capture should take place. The system can detect when a scene change occurs by comparison of data for two or more frames. If a scene change is followed by a stabilization of the scene, the system can trigger an auto-capture of the stabilized scene, without the need for user input.

Using change of scene to trigger automatic image capture

An image captured by a camera can be processed by a scanning application to identify one or more regions within the image that are suitable for scanning. One or more of these regions can be selected for scanning automatically based on user-input such as a fingertip touch to a particular portion of the display screen. Users may also select multiple regions and submit multiple quadrangular regions for scanning to PDF from a single image.

Multi-region detection for images

A series of frames or live images received by a camera can be processed by an automatic image capture system to determine when an automatic image capture should take place. The system can detect when a scene change occurs by comparison of data for two or more frames, and for particular regions in those frames. If a scene change for the specified region is followed by a stabilization of the scene in that region, the system can trigger an auto-capture of at least the stabilized region of the scene, without the need for any user input.
