Document-Boundary-Detection

Document Boundary & Canny Edge Detection using OpenCV

• Used Simple OpenCV Library for Boundary and Edge Detection
• The Algorithm is quite fast and does not require any training and works quite well with rectangle documents as it was meant for document boundry detection
• Did not use Deep Learning Techniques as it was most computationally expensive and required good Dataset of images with Boundry label and would had been slow too
• Sometimes simpler models are better than deep learning models

How to Use

Make Sure you have following libraries installed

• opencv
• imutils

Use pip install -r requirements.txt to get all the dependencies

To Run

Use python scan.py --image images/1.jpg to train the model

It opens two windows one with edge detection and one with boundary detection
