METHOD FOR EXTRACTING PHOTOGRAPHS AND AUTOGRAPH SIGNATURES FROM DIGITIZED SCHOOL AND GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS

Abstract

This invention relates to a method for the automatic extraction of handwritten signatures and photographs from digitized documents. This system is designed to expedite the processing of school and government procedures, especially professional registration applications at higher education institutions. The invention addresses the need to locate, extract, and separately store signatures and photographs contained in digitized documents, significantly improving efficiency and accuracy compared to existing manual methods. The system utilizes advanced image processing techniques, including rotation, scaling, binarization, filtering, and face and signature detection algorithms to ensure the correct identification and extraction of the required images, reducing processing time by 80%.
