This script will hopefully reduce a lot of garbage from Tesseract OCR. # coordinates for hole fill hole_x=`convert $1 -format "%[fx:50*w/100]" info:` hole_y=`convert $1 -format "%[fx:88*h/100]" info ...

After the area is filled, is there a simple way to shave off e.g. 2px or so to clean the darker part of the remaining paper edge? I guess one option would be to trace the contour and try to add an inset border some way (preferably a few pixels wide with gradually diminishing transparency).

Thank you! The fuzzy fill works very well.

They differ in size and sometimes additional dark areas appear from misaligned cards (se first image below top left and bottom right ...
