Abstract :
Digital cameras are a pervasive technological item in the life of most people today. Either standalone or embedded in other devices such as mobile phones digital cameras are omnipresent. Their high availability, portability, low weight, low cost, and rising image quality have widened the number of applications, inaugurating a new research area within document engineering that is evolving fast in many different directions and claims for new algorithms, tools and processing environments that are able to provide users in general with simple ways of visualizing, printing, transcribing, compressing, storing and transmitting through networks such images.
