The patent application (Publication Number: US20230386239A1) describes a method involving the use of hardware processors to extract a document subimage from an image captured by a mobile device's camera. The method selects a subset of image quality assurance (IQA) tests based on processing parameters, configures these tests, applies them to the document subimage to assess image quality, and approves or rejects the image based on the assessment. The processing parameters can include the type of mobile device or the mobile application used for processing. Additionally, the method involves pre-processing the document subimage, applying critical tests like MICR line tests for checks, and flagging images for review if they fail non-critical tests.

Furthermore, the patent application includes claims for a system comprising hardware processors and software modules to perform the method described. It also covers a non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions that, when executed by a processor, extract a document subimage, select IQA tests, configure and apply them to assess image quality, and approve or reject the image. The method allows for adjusting thresholds for test scores, displaying rejection reasons on the mobile device's display, and reconfiguring tests after repeated rejections. Overall, the patent application outlines a comprehensive method and system for efficiently assessing image quality using IQA tests on mobile devices, with specific applications for checks and other documents.
