Multi-capture for remote deposit via scanner
Systems and techniques may be used to perform multi-capture for remote deposit via scanner. For example, a technique may include scanning a first side and a second side of a plurality of checks, and comparing geometrical features of the first side of each check of the plurality of checks to geometrical features of the second side of each check of the plurality of checks. Based on the comparison, the technique may include selecting an image from a first set of respective individual images that corresponds to an image from a second set of respective individual images to form a pair of images, the pair of images representing a single check of the plurality of checks, and outputting the pair of images.
