Systems and methods for automatic image capture on a mobile device

A system comprising:

• a camera;
• a display;
• at least one hardware processor;
• and
• one or more software modules that are configured to, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,
• initiate a video mode of an image capture application that begins capturing a video stream via the camera,
• continuously display video frames from the video stream on the display,
• for each of a plurality of the video frames from the video stream, measure at least one parameter representing an image quality of the video frame, in real time, to detect a video frame of a document for which the at least one parameter exceeds a threshold,
• detect the video frame of the document for which the at least one parameter exceeds the threshold, and,
• in response to detecting the video frame of the document for which the at least one parameter exceeds the threshold, automatically, without a user having to perform any input, both select at least one of the video frames for a final image of the document, and stop capture of the video stream.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor of a mobile device, cause the processor to:

• initiate a video mode of an image capture application, on the mobile device, that begins capturing a video stream via a camera of the mobile device;
• continuously display video frames from the video stream on a display of the mobile device;
• for each of a plurality of the video frames from the video stream, measure at least one parameter representing an image quality of the video frame, in real time, to detect a video frame of a document for which the at least one parameter exceeds a threshold;
• detect the video frame of the document for which the at least one parameter exceeds the threshold;
• and,
• in response to detecting the video frame of the document for which the at least one parameter exceeds the threshold, automatically, without a user having to perform any input to the mobile device, both
• select at least one of the video frames for a final image of the document, and
• stop capture of the video stream.
