In order to digitize photographs, it is expedient to scan multiple photos in batches using a flatbed scanner. The resulting scans typically need further processing to extract, deskew, and crop the individual photos.
This tool uses ImageMagick convert to process such scanned batches of photos.
Scans are required to have a white background.
TODO(shashir): Make robust to transparent background.
Usage:
$ python3 divide_scanned_photos.py image.png output_dir
Found 3 images
Wrote image 0 to output_dir/0_image.png.
Wrote image 1 to output_dir/1_image.png.
Wrote image 2 to output_dir/2_image.png.
If "output_dir" is not provided, the constituent images are written to the same directory as the input image.
