TI SmartDoc 2017 Video Capture: Mobile Document Acquisition in Video Mode

AB As mobile document acquisition using smartphones is  getting  more  and  more  common,  along  with  the  continuous improvement  of  mobile  devices  (both  in  terms  of  computing power and image quality), we can wonder to which extent mobile phones  can  replace  desktop  scanners.  Modern  applications  can cope with perspective distortion and normalize the contrast of a document  page  captured  with  a  smartphone,  and  in  some  cases like bottle labels or posters, smartphones even have the advantage of   allowing   the   acquisition   of   non-flat   or   large   documents. However, several cases remain hard to handle, such as reflective documents  (identity  cards,  badges,  glossy  magazine  cover,  etc.) or large documents for which some regions require an important amount  of  detail.  This  paper  introduces  the  SmartDoc  2017 benchmark (named “SmartDoc Video Capture”), which aims atassessing whether capturing documents using the video mode of a smartphone could solve those issues. The task under evaluation is both a stitching and a reconstruction problem, as the user can move the device over different parts of the document to capture details  or  try  to  erase  highlights.  The  material  released  consists of  a  dataset,  an  evaluation  method  and  the  associated  tool,  a sample  method,  and  the  tools  required  to  extend  the  dataset. All  the  components  are  released  publicly  under  very  permissive licenses, and we particularly cared about maximizing the ease ofunderstanding,  usage  and  improvement.
