Abstract

A computer-implemented system and method for controlling document image capture are provided. The method includes identifying a categorization model for categorizing image frames and configuring an image capture device, based on the identified categorization model. A flow of frames of a same document captured with the configured image capture device is received and an image representation generated for each of a plurality of frames within the flow of frames. With the identified categorization model, for each of the plurality of frames, a confidence for at least one category is assigned to the frame based on the image representation. A category is assigned to the document when a threshold confidence for one of the at least one categories is assigned. An automatic capture of an image of the document is triggered based on the assigned category.
