Detect and Split Scanned Photos

When several photographs are scanned together on one sheet, this finds each one and saves it separately, straightening it in the process. It saves scanning a photo album one picture at a time.

How to Detect and Split Scanned Photos

  1. Upload the scan containing several photographs.
  2. Run the detection.
  3. Download the separated images.

When you would use this

  • Digitising a photo album scanned four pictures at a time.
  • Separating ID photographs captured on one sheet.
  • Splitting a contact sheet into individual images.

Questions

How does it find the edges?

By detecting the boundary between each photograph and the scanner background. Clear gaps between photos give the best results.

Will crooked photos be straightened?

Slight rotation is normally corrected as part of detection.

Photos were missed, why?

Usually because they touch each other or their edges blend into the background. Leave a clear gap when scanning.

Need this at scale?
