Video capture of multi-faceted documents

摘要

A system captures or otherwise receives a video and uses the video to create an electronic file corresponding to a multi-faceted printed artifact, such as a multi-page document. When the system receives the video, it selects a set of some or all of the video's image frames, determines a frame quality for each frame in the set, and identifies a subset of the frames such that the frame quality of each frame in the subset satisfies one or more image quality criteria. The subset will include at least one frame for each facet of the multi-faceted printed artifact, such as a page of the document. The processor then automatically combines the subset of frames into a single electronic file.

主权项

1. A method of creating an electronic file corresponding to a multi-faceted printed artifact, the method comprising:
by a processing device, receiving a video of a multi-faceted printed artifact, wherein the video comprises a series of image frames; by the processing device, selecting a set of the image frames so that the set does not include image frames that exhibit a significant level of motion; by the processing device, determining a frame quality for each frame in the set; by the processing device, identifying a subset of the frames so that the frame quality of each frame in the subset satisfies one or more image quality criteria, and the subset comprises at least one frame for each facet of the multi-faceted printed artifact; and by the processing device, automatically combining the subset of frames into a single electronic file.
