The imaging subsystem is capable of providing image data representative of light incident on said imaging subsystem. The one or more memory components include at least a first memory component operatively capable of storing an input frame of the image data. The one or more processors may be enabled for performing various steps. One step may include receiving the image data from the first memory component. Another step may include attempting to identify linear features defining a candidate quadrilateral form in the image data. Another step may include providing user-perceptible hints for guiding a user to alter positioning of the device to enhance a capability for identifying the linear features defining a candidate quadrilateral form in the image data. | 2015-09-10 |
20150256696 | IMAGE-READING APPARATUS, IMAGE-READING METHOD, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - According to the present embodiment, an image-reading apparatus determines any one or both of the type of document and the shape of a document, selects any one or both of an appropriate document tilt detection method and an appropriate document position detection method according to any one or both of the determined type of document and the determined shape of a document, and detects any one or both of the tilt of the document and the position of the document by the selected detection method. | 2015-09-10 |
