Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a precise book page boundary detection using deep machine learning model and image processing. The method may include generating, based on inputting a digital image to a convolutional neural segmentation network, a plurality of outputs comprising first output for a boundary of a left page of a spread of a physical book and second output for a boundary of a right page of the spread. A first thin pixel mask and a second thin pixel mask are determined for the left page and the right page based on the first and second outputs. A first quadrilateral and a second quadrilateral are determined based on the first and second thin pixel masks. At least one of the first or second quadrilateral is rendered in a display showing the outer boundary of the left or right page.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for document boundary detection (BD) from an input image using a combination of deep learning model and image processing algorithms. Quadrilaterals approximating the document boundaries in the input image are determined and rated separately using both these approaches: deep leaning using convolutional neural network (CNN) and heuristics using image processing algorithms. Thereafter, the best rated quadrilateral is selected from the quadrilaterals obtained from both the approaches.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating a shadow map of a digital image. In some examples, a method may include generating a shadow mask of a digital image, generating a dilated de-noised binarized gradient image based on the shadow mask, generating a binarized median-filtered gray image based on the digital image and the dilated de-noised binarized gradient image, and generating a shadow map based on the shadow mask and the binarized median-filtered gray image. The generated shadow map can then be used to remove shadows from the digital image without degrading the quality of the image content in the digital image.
