A method for identifying document edges collects a predetermined number scanlines of the document. Both first order and second order statistics are then calculated based on the scanned data. A first slope value being a function of the difference between a plurality of the first value and a second slope value being a function of the difference between a plurality of the second value are calculated. A document edge is detected using the first and second slope values.
