Abstract
A system and method for detecting the quality of a captured digital image depicting a hardcopy document are disclosed. The captured digital image is analyzed to determine a corresponding blurriness, noise, hotspot, and uneven illumination metric representing a quality level of the image data. The blurriness, noise, hotspot, and uneven illumination metrics are then combined to formulate a pass/caution/fail indicator for the user to respond to the captured digital image quality.
