- the present application refers to image processing.
- Images are preferably digital images captured by image capture components, especially image capture components of mobile devices.
- a mobile device is any device capable of receiving data without having power supplied via a physical connection (e.g. wire, cord, cable, etc.) and capable of receiving data without a physical data connection (e.g. wire, cord, cable, etc.).
- Mobile devices within the scope of the present disclosures include exemplary devices such as a mobile telephone, smartphone, tablet, personal digital assistant, iPod ®, iPad @, BLACKBERRY ® device, etc.
- the presently disclosed mobile image processing algorithms can be applied, sometimes with certain modifications, to images coming from scanners and multifunction peripherals (MFPs).
- images processed using the presently disclosed processing algorithms may be further processed using conventional scanner processing algorithms, in some approaches.
- an image may be captured by an image capture component of a mobile device.
- image capture component should be broadly interpreted to include any type of device capable of capturing an image of a physical object external to the device, such as a piece of paper.
- image capture component does not encompass a peripheral scanner or multifunction device. Any type of image capture component may be used. Preferred embodiments may use image capture components having a higher resolution, e.g. 8 MP or more, ideally 12 MP or more.
- the image may be captitred in color, grayscale, black and white, or with any other known optical effect.
- image as referred to herein is meant to encompass any type of data corresponding to the output of the image capture component, including raw data, processed data, etc.
- long document should be understood to include any type of document incapable of being captured in a single still image with sufficient resolution to accomplish downstream processing of the document and/or document contents, e.g. sufficient resolution to discern the position and identity of individual characters, sufficient resolution to discern the position and identity of document features such as lines, images, reference objects such as barcodes or registration marks (e.g. substantially representing a "+” symbol), and/or sufficient resolution to distinguish the document itself from background textures also depicted in the image data depicting the document.
- "sufficient resolution” is to be understood as a resolution no less than a resolution corresponding to about 200 dots per inch (DPI) or 200 pixels per inch (PPf).
- exemplary forms of "long document” may be understood to include receipts, legal documents (e.g. a document size of approximately 8.5 inches wide by 14 inches long), promissory notes, mortgage documents, titles, deeds, posters, banners, prints, forms, envelopes, etc., as would be understood by one having ordinary skill in the art upon reading the present descriptions.
- a document may be considered "long" whenever the document exceeds a length of about 11 inches along a longest dimension thereof, and/or whenever the document exhibits an aspect ratio of at least about 2.5: 1.
- a document being imaged is "long" it may be particularly advantageous to orient the image capture component and the wide document so that longitudinal axes thereof are perpendicular during the capture operation. This increases the effective resolution of the images captured, as more of the document may be contained within the viewfmder at a given distance from the document than when ihe longitudinal axes of the document and the camera are aligned in parallel.
- textual information should be understood to include any and all types of information that may be contained in, represented by, or derived from, text.
- textual information may be understood to include the position of text on a document, the identity of one or more characters (e.g. letters, numbers, symbols, etc. ) depicted on the document, an identity of a series of characters (i.e. a "string" of text) depicted on the document, a partial or complete shape of one or more characters depicted on the document, a size of one or more characters (absolute or relative, in varied approaches), a color of one or more characters, a font type corresponding to one or more characters, etc. as would be understood by a person having ordinary skill in the art upon reading the present descriptions.
- character shape refers to the appearance of markings present on the document, without necessarily including the entire marking or, in the case where the marking corresponds to a character, without necessarily including the identity of the character represented by the marking.
- document features should be understood to include any and all types of identifying characteristic of a document other than “textual information.”
- document features may include a size or shape of the document itself.
- Document features may also include presence, absence, size, shape and/or position of any number of markings represented on the document, such as lines, images, logos, signatures, holograms, watermarks, etc. as would be understood by one having ordinary skill in the art upon reading the present descriptions.
- Document features may further include color information corresponding to part or all of a document, e.g.
- a color of the document background a color distribution corresponding to a region of interest within the document (such as a region depicting an image, logo, hologram, signature, etc.), and/or a determination of whether or not a document depicts color information at all.
- an image capture component motion tracker is applied to track the image capture component motion relative to a long document being imaged.
- a fast and efficient image capture component tracking algorithm is applied.
- the image capture component tracking algorithm the resolution of an original captured image is reduced, and pixels in the low resolution image are dowrtsampied.
- a direct image matching of those sampled pixels between a reference frame and a test frame is applied, A best matching is found as the one with minimum matching error.
- the accumulated image capture component motion trajectory is estimated.
- a picture is taken.
- the captured picture is either from in a video recording mode or in a picture mode.
- the tracking system may notify users thai the image captitre component should not be moved during the picture is taken to avoid image blur,
- each of them is a partial image of the long document.
- the tracked overlap regions between the captured adjacent pictures provide the constraints to reduce the ambiguity in detailed -overlap matching or text block matching afterwards.
- textual information including but not limited to: character shape, character position, character identity, character size, character color, character font, etc. are applied to recognize the text in the o verlap regions of images.
- the detailed-overlap matching can be based on a text block matching technique, in order to do the text block matching, a robust text line detector is applied to the recognized characters with their associated bounding boxes.
- the robust text line detector clusters the recognized characters based on their locations and group them in different text lines.
- a text block matching algorithm is applied to find the best text line match.
- the text block matching algorithm searches the best matched text line by comparing the correlation between two text blocks with different alignment hypotheses. After the best text line is found, the transform matrix from a successive image to the present image is estimated with the two text line bounding boxes. The successive image is mapped to the present image plane, and an image warping and blending procedure is applied.
- a method includes initiating a capture operation using an image capture component of the mobile device, the capture operation comprising; capturing video data; and estimating a plurality of motion vectors corresponding to motion of the image captitre component during the captitre operation; detecting a document depicted in the video data; tracking a position of the detected document throughout the video data; selecting a plurality of images using the image capture component of the mobile device, wherein the selection is based at least in part on: the tracked position of the detected document; and the estimated motion vectors; and generating a composite image based on at least some of the selected plurality of images.

- FIG. 3 depicts a schematic of an exemplary "long document" image 380 according to one embodiment.
- the long document image 300 substantially represents a receipt but one having ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the long document may include any number or type of "long documents" as defined herein and further as would be understood upon reading the present descriptions.
- the image 300 as shown in FIG. 3 conspicuously includes an image background 3(54 and an image foreground 302.
- the image foreground 302 preferably corresponds to the long document.
- the long document includes a plurality of features such as textual information 306, 306a, a plurality of borders or separating lines 388, a reference object such as a barcode 310, and an image or logo 312.
- the features may be arranged in any manner throughout the document, and may even exhibit partial or complete overlap, e.g. as demonstrated by overlapping textual information 306 and 306a, in some embodiments.
- FIGS. 4A-4C depict several embodiments of a long document capture process at various stages of completion, as disclosed herein.
- Each of FIGS. 4A-4C correspond to a selectively captured image 408, 410, 428 (respectively) that will be utilized to generate a composite single image depicting the entire document (e.g. as shown in FIG. 3).
- automated long document stitching refers to an automatic process that can stitch partially overlapped document images captured from a camera in a video or in separate pictures.
- a commonly used camera in mobile devices e.g. a camera ha ving a resolution of about eight megapixels
- several partially overlapped images of the long receipt may be captured and stitched together.
- FIGS. 4A-4C three images with overlaps are captured, which may be stitched together as one image, substantially representing the long document as shown in FIG. 3.
- the automatic long document stitching problem is similar to panoramic image stitching.
- the main difference between these two problems is that for long document stitching, the camera may be close to the document, as a result, a little movement of the camera can cause image blur. Therefore, long document stitching is more challenging.
- Some techniques developed for panoramic image stitching may be applied to long document stitching. Ho wever, there exists artifact at the seams of the stitching document. Because of the limited processing power of mobile devices, applying these techniques directly to long document stitching requires use of additional processing resources such as one or more GPU accelerators and/or multi-core CPU support. Considering the hardware limitations of mobile devices, and provide an efficient approach to long document stitching. The approach involves document tracking, text block matching, and image composition, as discussed further below.
- a user puts a long document on a desk with a flat surface, and initiates a capture operation, e.g. within a mobile application.
- the user continuously moves the mobile device in a preferably straight along the longitudinal axis of the document as shown in FIG. 3.
- the motion should be as straight as possible to avoid situations where the document is out of camera view.
- the user also preferably keeps the vertical distance between the camera and document substantially constant to avoid changes in apparent document size between the captured images.
- the speed of camera movement is preferably kept as substantially constant to make document tracking possible (i.e., within the limitations of the mobile device hardware).
- constancy of motion may be monitored and the capture operation may be terminated or paused if motion deviates from desired parameters, e.g. as may be accomplished using a motion displacement threshold, described above.
- the amount of motion displacement tolerable in a particular context may be partially dependent on factors such as camera resolution, shutter speed, etc.
- vertical camera movement may be detected and restricted based on information obtained from additional mobile device components, such as an accelerometer. Since the size of the long document is not necessarily known a priori, it is not desirable to utilize image data to track vertical motion. Instead, it is advantageous to query a device accelerometer and in response to determining the device has moved a predetermined amount in a predefined (e.g. vertical) direction over a predefined span of time (e.g. one centimeter over a span of one second), the capture operation may be terminated or paused.
- a predefined e.g. vertical
- W lth respect to tracking and document detection, in preferred approaches the primary aim of camera motion tracking is to track the motion of camera relative to the document in a video. Using camera motion information, it is advantageous to estimate how the overlap between two adjacent captured images,
- the tracking approaches can be pixel-based or feature -based, in a preferred approach a direct pixel-image approach is applied to camera motion tracking.
- high capturing rates e.g. greater than 2.4 frames/second in one embodiment, greater than 30 frames/sec in another embodiment, and greater than 59 frames/sec in yet another embodiment.
- the camera motion tracking module is preferably used to determine when a picture of the document should be taken, and whether the picture should be captured automatically or manually. For instance, in one approach the first frame of the document is captured when a document detection module once detects there exists a document in the picture. For the following frames of the document image, when an image of the document should be taken is prefera bly determined by the specified overlap length between two adjacent frames of documents as shown in FIGS. 4A-4C. The specified overlaps between two adjacent frames of images (represented in FIGS. 4A-4C as ⁇ ), can be converted to a number of pixels. If the accumulated camera motion/displacement is close to the specified value (also referred to herein as an "overlap threshol d"), the system preferably captures an image of the document.
- the specified value also referred to herein as an "overlap threshol d"
- the presently disclosed document tracking techniques include: downsampiing captured image data to reduce the original image resolution; sampling image pixels in the downsampled image; and estimating motion vectors.
- estimating motion vectors may include a scenario where two adjacent frames of images are captured, and the first frame is defined as a reference frame, while the second frame is designated as a test frame.
- the residual errors between intensity of pixels in the test frame and the reference frame are computed for different hypotheses of th e actual motion vectors.
- the best motion vector hypothesis is chosen as the one with minimum of residual errors.
- the residual errors are the accumulated intensity errors of all pixels between reference frame and test frame.
- the document tracking techniques may compare the image intensities of those ten pixels (e.g. in the test frame) with that a reference pixel (e.g. in the reference frame. The pixel with minimum matching error would be the best matching.
- Document tracking also include generating edge masks; pixels near the four edges of the reference frame may be out of camera view in the test frame; and a mask may be generated for those pixels so that they are excluded in image matching.
- the edge mask(s) may be generated so as to have a width ⁇ , where ⁇ is preferably a value in a range from about 5% to about 10% of a total document length as detected at the beginning of the tracking process.
- the motion vector estimation and edge masking may be repeated iterativeiy until the entire document is captured and processed.
- the tracking system will automatically capture an image of the partial document, and/or notify the user ihai a picture of the partial document will be iaken.
- the image is taken when the camera motion tracking syste has detected that the overlap between the first picture shown in the first row and the second picture to be taken approximately equals a pre-defined overlap threshold value (e.g. 40%).
- the three images are taken as shown in FIGS. 4A-4C.
- the first one (FIG. 4A) is taken once the system has detected there is a document and its top side is in the camera view (shown at left, in FIG. 4A).
- the second image (FIG. 4B) is iaken when the camera tracking system has detected the camera displacement has just reached the pre-defined threshold value.
- the third image (FIG. 4C) is taken when the bottom part of the document is in the camera view (shown at right).
- optical character recognition can be applied.
- OCR optical character recognition
- an OCR module will recognize the position and identity of characters depicted in textual information throughout the various images. Bar codes, reference objects, logos, pictures, etc. may be in these images, but are preferably ignored,
- an OCR module is utilized to process the input image.
- the output image may be different from the input image because a de-skew process may be applied to the input image, to generate a de-skewed image as output
- the OCR module also recognizes the input image and outputs the textual information of the recognized characters and their associated bounding boxes.
- the robust text line algorithm may employ clustering techniques using the character bounding boxes as input. This algorithm will group characters within one line as a text line, e.g. by locating adjacent pairs of characters, then locating adjacent pairs of character pairs to form character triplets, then locating adjacent character triplets to form adjacent character quadruplets, etc. etc. as would be understood by a skilled artisan upon reading the present descriptions. Subsequently, text lines in the pre-defined region of an image are preferably organized as a text block, which may be used as the basic unit of comparison for text block matching, as described herein
- the text block matching approach is as follows: for two text blocks in the overlap regions of two adjacent images compute a correlation between at least two text blocks; find the best matching alignment hypothesis based on the correlation; generate, for the particular alignment hypothesis, a text block matching score based on a number of characters in the two text blocks that match (e.g. exhibit substantially same character identity and character position): and sum the text block matching scores to generate a text line matching score,
- bounding boxes of the text lines in the best match are used to estimate an affine or homograph transform matrix, also referred to herein as a "first transformation matrix.”
- the first transform matrix is applied to every pixel in the second image (test frame) to transform the second image to coordinate system in the first image (reference frame). In this way, the second image is adjusted to the first image plane, and a composite image including information depicted in both the two images is derived,
- the same procedure mentioned for the first two images is applied to get the second transform matrix to map the third image to the second image plane.
- the first transform matrix multiplied by the second transform matrix is the accumulated transform matrix which maps the third image to the first image plane. In this way, for any number of images to be composed, the accumulated transform matrices can be derived, and applied to the images.

- the document should fill the viewfinder to a large degree, with no clipped comers or edges.
- the document should also preferably be adequately lighted, in focus, and taken at an angle with relatively small deviations from normal (e.g. the imaging device being oriented in a plane substantially parallel the document) to minimize distortions. It should also have good background separation, and a uniform background with respect to texture, color, and/or illumination, etc.
- the automatic capture should preferably only take a picture when a document is truly positioned in the viewfinder, a situation which may be verified by the imaging device using various techniques.

This correlation allows the device and/or software application to get a sense of the ambient light present.
