A document scanner can be build using basic image processing techniques, inorder to achieve the result

Usually the process takes only three main process:-

1. Detect the edge
2. Use the edges in the image to find the contour (outline) representing the piece of paper being scanned.
3. Apply a perspective transform to obtain the top-down view of the document.

Clone the project

git clone https://github.com/vipuljain-17/Document_Scanner_OpenCV.git

Go to the project directory

cd Document_Scanner_OpenCV

Run the shell script to install required packages and start the program.

./run.sh

• If you face any permission errors while running the shell script. Write the given code.

  chmod +x run.sh
  

  This provides you with the execution rights in order to run the script.

Or, Just click on the run.sh file!

• OpenCV
• Python3
• Scikit-image
• Tkinter
• PIL

I have added an scanned result.

This could have not possible without the help of pyimagesearch and Pysource
