Almost blew past a good stopping point.

This script can now, on at least one example. locate the largest contours on the page and then put those contours in an array.
It should also look for the largest, most outlying, to prevent errors in the case of large contours in the image.
They should never go past the holes.

Next step: use this for straightening, which will be good for the image extraction script.
Use them as registration points and then just rotate, shift and "shoot" by cropping at a point relative to the holes.

For calibration/templating, look into pattern matching fiducials after getting hole punch coordinates.
