Abstract
A method includes obtaining an image of a document against a background. A bounding box that bounds a region of the image that is distinguishable from the background is found. Coordinates of a plurality of points of the distinguishable region are found, each point being a point of the distinguishable region that is closest to each corner of the bounding box. The document is identified within the image as a region of the image whose corners are defined by the found coordinates.
