Abstract
An image of a check is captured by an imaging device and a digital image of the check on a replacement background may be created. The check may be placed on any background while the image of the check is being captured. The replacement background replaces, in the digital image, the background that the check is placed on while its image is being captured. The replacement background may comprise a predetermined image or color(s). The image of the check and the replacement background may be provided into a digital image file that may be transmitted to an institution system for deposit of the check into an account.
Claims20
A computing device, comprising:
- a processor;
- a computer-readable medium;
- and
- instructions stored on the computer-readable medium, the instructions configured to, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- capture a digital check image depicting a check;
- determine a plurality of edge coordinates corresponding to the check depicted in the digital check image;
- detect a check image included in the digital check image based on the plurality of edge coordinates;
- generate a digital image file including the digital check image and the edge coordinates;
- and
- transmit the digital image file to a remote server.
A method for processing an image, the method comprising:
- controlling an image capture device to capture a digital check image depicting a check;
- determining a plurality of edge coordinates corresponding to the check depicted in the digital check image;
- detecting a check image included in the digital check image based on the plurality of edge coordinates;
- generating a digital image file including the digital check image and the edge coordinates;
- and
- transmitting the digital image file to a remote server.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for causing a processor of a computing device to:
- capture a digital check image depicting a check;
- determine a plurality of edge coordinates corresponding to the check depicted in the digital check image;
- detect a check image included in the digital check image based on the plurality of edge coordinates;
- generate a digital image file including the digital check image and the edge coordinates;
- and
- transmit the digital image file to a remote server.
