Abstract: Systems and methods here may be used for pre-processing images, including using a computer for receiving a pixelated image of a paper document of an original size, downscaling the received pixelated image, employing a neural network algorithm to the downscaled image to identify four corners of the paper document in the received pixelated image, re-enlarging the downscaled image to the original size, identifying each of four corners of the paper document in the pixelated image, determining a quadrilateral composed of lines that intersect at four angles at the four corners of the paper document in the pixelated image, defining a projective plane of the pixelated image, and determining an inverse transformation of the pixelated image to transform the projective plane quadrilateral into a right angled rectangle.
