LIDAR managed image generation

A system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• activate, on a client device, a computer application;
• activate, based on receiving a user request to the application, a camera on the client device, wherein the activated camera provides access to a field of view of the camera;
• detect, based on a Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) measurement, a first distance of a document surface, wherein the document surface is located at least partially within the field of view of the camera;
• select, based on the first distance, a focal length for the camera;
• form, from a live image stream generated by the camera, a first set of image objects of at least a portion of a first side of the document;
• analyze the first set of image objects to determine a quality confidence score;
• select, based on the quality confidence score, a subset of one or more image objects from the first set of image objects;
• perform an optical character recognition (OCR) process on one or more of the subset of one or more image objects to extract data fields;
• and
• communicate the extracted data fields to a remote server.

A non-transitory computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• activating, on the at least one computing device, a computer application;
• activating, based on receiving a user request to the application, a camera on the at least one computing device, wherein the activated camera provides access to a field of view of the camera;
• detecting, based on a Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) measurement, a first distance of a document surface, wherein the document surface is located at least partially within the field of view of the camera;
• selecting, based on the first distance, a focal length for the camera;
• forming, from a live image stream generated by the camera, a first set of image objects of at least a portion of a first side of the document;
• analyzing the first set of image objects to determine a quality confidence score;
• selecting, based on the quality confidence score, a subset of one or more image objects from the first set of image objects;
• performing an optical character recognition (OCR) process on one or more of the subset of one or more image objects to extract data fields;
• and
• communicating the extracted data fields to a remote server.
