In various embodiments, methods, systems, and computer program products for processing digital images captured by a mobile device are disclosed. Myriad features enable and/or facilitate processing of such digital images using a mobile device that would otherwise be technically impossible or impractical, and furthermore address unique challenges presented by images captured using a camera rather than a traditional flat-bed scanner, paper-feed scanner, or multifunction peripheral. Particularly advantageous features include robustly detecting edges of one or more documents depicted in the digital image data, and defining/locating document pages at least partially on this basis. The statistical approaches employed enable robust yet computationally efficient techniques to accomplish page detection, and associated functions, using hardware typically included in mobile devices and within practical (especially temporal) limits imposed by device manufacturers, users, associated and/or downstream computational and/or business processes.
