Abstract
A system and method for data extraction and assembly in digital cameras is provided. The system and method provides the ability to extract symbol data, including textual and other character data from multiple camera images, and assemble the extracted symbol data into a composite document. The system and method can perform this data extraction using limited resources, and thus it can be implemented in digital cameras that have limited memory and processing capacity

A method of processing digital images in a digital camera, the method comprising the steps of:
- generating a first digital image and a second digital image with the digital camera;
- extracting symbol data from the first digital image and the second digital image;
- identifying position markers in the first digital image and the second digital image;
- and
- assembling the extracted symbol data from the first digital image and the second digital image into a composite document based on a correlation of the position markers in the first digital image and the second digital image.
A processor, tangibly embodying a program of instructions to perform method steps for digital image processing in a digital camera, comprising the machine executed steps of:
- generating a first digital image and a second digital image with the digital camera;
- extracting symbol data from the first digital image and the second digital image;
- identifying position markers in the first digital image and the second digital image;
- and assembling the extracted symbol data from the first digital image and the second digital image into a composite document based on a correlation of the position markers in the first digital image and the second digital image.
A digital processing system in a digital camera, the digital processing system comprising:
- a data extractor, the symbol data extractor configured to receive a first digital image and a second digital image generated by the digital and extract symbol data from the first digital image and the second digital image;
- and
- a data assembler, the data assembler configured to identify position markers in the first digital image and the second digital image, the data assembler further configured to assemble the extracted symbol data from the first digital image and the second digital image into a composite document based on a correlation of the position markers in the first digital image and the second digital image.
