Laserfiche provides content management solutions that include software to digitize and process documents. One capability of Laserfiche’s software is to process images of documents taken with a smartphone camera so they look as if they were scanned. Our goal is to improve the algorithm in this process so that background artifacts and border noise are removed and document text is straightened.
