1. A method for capturing high-quality document images, comprising the steps of: acquiring, by electronic device, an electronic representation of an image containing at least a first document; scoring said image by; converting said electronic image representation to grayscale; creating a vector of delta values between adjacent horizontal pixels; calculating a first mean by averaging said delta values for each delta value, squaring the difference between it and said first mean; calculating a second mean by averaging said squared differences; and assigning the Log10 of said second mean as the image quality score associating said image with said image quality score; comparing said image quality score with a threshold value; and accepting said image for further use, only if said image quality score equals or exceeds said threshold value.
