Systems for mobile image capture and remittance processing

摘要

The present invention relates to automated document processing and more particularly, to methods and systems for document image capture and processing using mobile devices. In accordance with various embodiments, methods and systems for document image capture on a mobile communication device are provided such that the image is optimized and enhanced for data extraction from the document as depicted. These methods and systems may comprise capturing an image of a document using a mobile communication device; transmitting the image to a server; and processing the image to create a bi-tonal image of the document for data extraction. Additionally, these methods and systems may comprise capturing a first image of a document using the mobile communication device; automatically detecting the document within the image; geometrically correcting the image; binarizing the image; correcting the orientation of the image; correcting the size of the image; and outputting the resulting image of the document.

1. A computer implemented method for mobile image capture and remittance processing, comprising:
programming one or more processors on a mobile device to perform steps comprising:
receiving a mobile image of a remittance coupon captured using the mobile device;detecting the remittance coupon within the mobile image of the remittance coupon;generating a document subimage that includes a portion of the mobile image that corresponds to the remittance coupon;geometrically correcting the mobile image of the remittance coupon to generate a geometrically corrected mobile image;processing the geometrically corrected image to generate a processed image;executing one or more mobile image quality assurance tests on the processed image to assess the quality of the processed image; andexecuting one or more remittance processing steps on the processed image if the processed image passes the one or more mobile image quality assurance tests, which includes:
extracting text content from the processed image; andidentifying data in the extracted text content using dynamic data capture, which further includes locating data fields in the processed image using optical character recognition by:
identifying a code line in the processed image of the remittance coupon; andparsing data from the code line and associating the parsed data with a data type.
