Systems and methods for note recognition

A note recognition device, comprising:

• A sensor configured to capture an image comprising a visual representation of a scene having a plurality of physical notes, each of the physical notes comprising a separate physical object having a predefined boundary and recognizable content thereon;
• a note recognition module coupled to the sensor, the note recognition module configured to process image data associated with the image to identify a predefined boundary of one of the plurality of physical notes from the visual representation;
• note extraction module configured to extract from the image data the recognizable content from within the predefined boundary of the one of the plurality of physical notes based on identifying the predefined boundary of the one of the plurality of physical notes, and based at least in part on a contrast between the recognizable content and a background of the one of the plurality of physical notes from the visual representation;
• and
• wherein the note extraction module associate the recognizable content with a digital representative of the one of the plurality of physical notes.
