Document image capturing and processing

The present invention relates to the automated processing of documents and, more specifically, to methods and systems for aligning, capturing and processing document images using mobile and desktop devices. In accordance with various embodiments, methods and systems for document image alignment, capture, transmission, and verification are provided such that accurate data capture is optimized. These methods and systems may comprise capturing an image on a mobile or stationary device, analyzing images using iterative and weighting procedures, locating the edges or corners of the document, providing geometric correction of document images, converting the color image into a black and white image, transmitting images to a server, and testing the accuracy of the images captured and transmitted.
