Abstract

---

The path of a research idea becoming a market product for customers´ use is filled with unexpected events and challenges. This presentation will allow you to have a look at the evolution of Machine Learning in the last ten years and at the technological shift from the use of external devices to mobile devices for document scanning purposes. The story the Document Scanner developed at Anyline GmbH in Vienna, Austria will start with an exemplary initial approach based on pure computer vision, analyzing limitations and real-life issues. It will continue with the next step, the deep learning approach in which some interesting CNN architectures will be presented and analyzed. Finally, a closer look will be taken to how to define image quality and how to implement it in a marketed product Recent Publications 1.
