Abstract

A user device detects, in a field of view of the camera, a first side of a document, and determines first information associated with the first side of the document. The user device selects a first image resolution based on the first information and captures, by the camera, a first image of the first side of the document according to the first image resolution. The user device detects, in the field of view of the camera, a second side of the document, and determines second information associated with the second side of the document. The user device selects a second image resolution based on the second information, and captures, by the camera, a second image of the second side of the document according to the second image resolution. The user device performs an action related to the first image and the second image.

Claims (96)

determining, by the user device, a threshold image resolution based on the second information;

determining, by the user device, a set of image resolutions of a plurality of image resolutions;

selecting, by the user device and based on the second information, a second image resolution from the set of image resolutions,

wherein the second image resolution corresponds to a different quality of image than the first image resolution, and

wherein the second image resolution satisfies the threshold image resolution;

capturing, by the camera of the user device, a second image of the second side of the document according to the second image resolution; and

performing, by the user device, an action related to the first image and the second image.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining first information associated with the first side of the document; and

selecting, from the plurality of image resolutions and based on the first information, the first image resolution.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the second image resolution comprises:

selecting the second image resolution based on a lookup table,

the lookup table including:

data associating the first image resolution with the first side of the document, and

data associating the second image resolution with the second side of the document.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting the first side of the document using at least one preview image of the first side of the document; and

wherein determining the second information comprises:

determining the second information based on detecting the first side of the document.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein detecting the first side of the document comprises:

detecting the first side of the document using one or more computer vision techniques to process the at least one preview image of the first side of the document.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein detecting the first side of the document comprises:

identifying, based on the at least one preview image, one or more features of the first side of the document; and

detecting the first side of the document based on the one or more features.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the document comprises:

a government-issued identification card,

an employee identification card,

a health insurance card,

a transaction card, or

a check.

8. A device, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:

capture a first image of a first side of a document according to a first image resolution;

determine second information associated with a second side of the document;

determine a threshold image resolution based on the second information;

determine a set of image resolutions of a plurality of image resolutions;

select, based on the second information, a second image resolution from the set of image resolutions,

wherein the second image resolution corresponds to a different quality of image than the first image resolution, and

wherein the second image resolution satisfies the threshold image resolution;

capture a second image of the second side of the document according to the second image resolution; and

perform an action related to the first image and the second image.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

determine first information associated with the first side of the document; and

select, from the plurality of image resolutions and based on the first information, the first image resolution.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors, when selecting the second image resolution, are configured to:

select the second image resolution based on a lookup table,

the lookup table including:

data associating the first image resolution with the first side of the document, and

data associating the second image resolution with the second side of the document.

11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

detect the first side of the document using at least one preview image of the first side of the document; and

wherein the one or more processors, when determining the second information, are configured to:

determine the second information based on detecting the first side of the document.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors, when detecting the first side of the document, are configured to:

detect the first side of the document using one or more computer vision techniques to process the at least one preview image of the first side of the document.

13. The device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors, when detecting the first side of the document, are configured to:

identify, based on the at least one preview image, one or more features of the first side of the document; and

detect the first side of the document based on the one or more features.

14. The device of claim 8 , wherein the document comprises:

a government-issued identification card,

an employee identification card,

a health insurance card,

a transaction card, or

a check.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

capture a first image of a first side of a document according to a first image resolution;

determine second information associated with a second side of the document;

determine a threshold image resolution based on the second information;

determine a set of image resolutions of a plurality of image resolutions;

select, based on the second information, a second image resolution from the set of image resolutions,

wherein the second image resolution corresponds to a different quality of image than the first image resolution, and

wherein the second image resolution satisfies the threshold image resolution;

capture a second image of the second side of the document according to the second image resolution; and

perform an action related to the first image and the second image.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:
