Exciting! I needed this last week, and now here it is. Thanks.
I share the annoyance about phone detection previees over-promising. But I'm pleased this comes with perspective correction and lighting correction together.

The Google Camera app already does this (much). I look into this problem during a receipt scanning project. If you want development ideas look up "metric rectification" and 'manifold dewarping'; e.g. https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/WACV2025/papers/Hertle...
That seems pretty reasonable! It's also AGPL licensed and the source code is available on GitHub. 20 minutes with an LLM would likely yield you a nagware-free version if you value your time at less than $21/hour. Otherwise it costs just $7 to pay Adrian for their good work!

Thanks for the report. I'm looking into it!
Be fully aware it is AGPL licensed before you try to use any of this code for something "at work" without realizing it. That said, looks neat!
Last time I used Gimp it had a plugin that let you correct perspective, wonder how they both compare

Samsung Galaxy camera as well. Just hit "scan" when it pops up and you get the same results.
The "Initial Motivation" section in the article explains why existing mobile apps aren't good enough.
It is nagware:
> Before an image is saved, a "Buy License" banner is shown for 10 seconds.

Why, when I could use an AI to both detect the corners and write+run a completely free ad-hoc script to fix the perspective.
