PDF Scanner

An application where one can scan an object and save in it '.jpg' and '.pdf' format.

Logic 🧠

• When we place an object under the webcam, edges are been detected using canny edge detection and further we can find the largest contours present in the image.

• After finding contours we use warp perspective to show case the scanned area.

• Used img2pdf library, to convert the images into pdf.
