Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for digitally restoring content from a torn document. A computing device obtains an image of a document that has a tear. The computing device identifies portions of the image separated by a gap region representing the tear in the document. Content in the portions of the image adjacent to the gap region is then identified. The position of a portion of the image is incrementally adjusted to reduce the gap region without overlapping the portions. The position of the portion is adjusted to align the content along a boundary between the portions of the image.
