The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for implementing content-aware filters to autonomously remove scan marks from digital documents. In particular implementations, the disclosed systems utilize a set of targeted scan mark models in a scan mark removal pipeline. For example, each scan mark model includes a corresponding content-aware filter configured to identify document regions that match a designated class of scan marks to filter. Examples of scan mark models include staple scan mark models, punch hole scan mark models, and page turn scan mark models. In certain embodiments, the disclosed systems then use the scan mark models to generate mark-specific masks based on document input features. Additionally, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems combine the mark-specific masks into a final segmentation mask and apply the final segmentation mask to the digital document for correcting the identified regions with scan marks.

Autonomously removing scan marks from digital documents utilizing content-aware filters

Techniques and systems are described for automatic artifact removal in a digital image. A segmentation map is generated that describes a magnitude of difference among pixels in a digital image. Contours may be generated that describe boundaries of objects described in the segmentation map. The contours may be filtered according to two-dimensional and three-dimensional cues to identify contours corresponding to artifacts in the digital image. For each contour corresponding to an artifact, an object mask and a sampling mask may be generated. The object mask and the sampling mask may be utilized as part of a content filling operation upon the digital image to remove the artifact, and a corrected digital image is generated that does not include the artifact.
