1. A computer-implemented method for resuming capture of a base image from an object by a mobile scanner operated by a user, comprising: receiving an indication of an overlap area on a base image displayed on a display of the computer; receiving a scan image from the mobile scanner positioned on the object at a location corresponding to the overlap area; determining a match between a segment of the scan image and a corresponding segment of the base image, wherein the match defines a location and an orientation of the mobile scanner relative to the base image; indicating to the user that a scan has resumed when the match is found; and stitching images subsequently received from the mobile scanner to the base image based upon the determined location and orientation.
