Abstract
In several embodiments, methods, systems, and computer program products for processing digital images captured by a mobile device are disclosed. The techniques include detecting medical documents and/or documents relevant to an insurance claim by defining candidate edge points based on the captured image data and defining four sides of a tetragon based on at least some of the candidate edge points. In the case of an insurance claim process, the techniques also include determining whether the document is relevant to an insurance claim; and in response to determining the document is relevant to the insurance claim, submitting the image data, information extracted from the image data, or both to a remote server for claims processing. The image capture and processing techniques further facilitate processing of medical documents and/or insurance claims with a plurality of additional features that may be used individually or in combination in various embodiments.
