Composing a focused document image from multiple image captures or portions of multiple image captures

A method for processing multiple images, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a processing circuitry, a plurality of images, wherein each image included in the plurality of images depicts at least a portion of a same side of a same document;
• after receiving the plurality of images, determining, by the processing circuitry, a plurality of acceptable image portions from the plurality of images, wherein the plurality of acceptable image portions depict portions of the document satisfying a predetermined image quality criteria;
• combining, by the processing circuitry, the plurality of acceptable image portions to generate a composite image of the same side of the document, including a predetermined feature of the document;
• and
• applying, by the processing circuitry, post-processing image compositing to the composite image to improve a seamlessness of the composite image and to manipulate the composite image so that the document is compliant with at least one of a guideline or a standard;
• and
• transmitting, by the processing circuitry, the composite image to a depository server via a communication pathway,
• wherein determining the plurality of acceptable image portions from the plurality of images comprises determining the portions of the document included in the plurality of acceptable image portions are in focus.

A computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory in communication with a processor;
• and
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive a plurality of images, wherein each image included in the plurality of images depicts at least a portion of a same side of a same document;
• after receiving the plurality of images, determine a plurality of acceptable image portions from the plurality of images, wherein the plurality of acceptable image portions depict portions of the document satisfying a predetermined image quality criteria;
• combine the plurality of acceptable image portions to generate a composite image of the same side of the document, including a predetermined feature of the document;
• and
• apply post-processing image compositing to the composite image to improve a seamlessness of the composite image and to manipulate the composite image so that the document is compliant with at least one of a guideline or a standard,
• wherein the computing device comprises a mobile device having a camera, and the processor is further configured to transmit the composite image to a depository server via a communication pathway, and
• wherein the processor is further configured to determine the plurality of acceptable image portions from the plurality of images by determining the portions of the document included in the plurality of acceptable image portions are in focus.
