Abstract

Systems and methods to generate data representative of a fragmented document are provided. A particular method includes using motion of a moving film to move multiple pieces of a document that has been fragmented. The method also includes capturing images of the pieces as the pieces are moving, wherein each of the images includes at least one side of at least one of the pieces. The method further includes processing the images to generate a data file including at least a portion of the document, where the portion is determined based on image data associated with two or more of the pieces.
