1. A method comprising:
locating, by a computing device, a portion of a digital image that depicts fields of a paper form, the fields including markings;
identifying, by the computing device, a marking within one field of the fields of the paper form as being contrary to a set of rules;
performing, by the computing device, computer-vision analysis of a geometry of pixels of the digital image to locate one or more geometric shapes associated with one or more field prototypes;
locating, based on the computer-vision analysis, a first geometric shape in the one field, wherein the first geometric shape is associated with the marking within the one field;
locating, based on the computer-vision analysis. a second geometric shape without any marking, wherein the second geometric shape is similar to the first geometric shape;
modifying, by the computing device, the digital image to remove the identified marking from the digital image by replacing the first geometric shape with the second geometric shape; and
causing to display, by the computing device and on a user device, of the portion of the digital image depicting the one field of the paper form as being unmarked.
