Summary: Future forms will be measured against that form and will be adjusted for skew and other attributes against the original form. "This is especially important when you are doing recognition on particular zones on a form," says Macciola. The forms recognition capability will also scale the image to match the form. For example, contrast may be more important than skew, but OCR readabiliy in a... 94% No longer all or nothing for service bureau Gr... Summary: Each corner is measured individually and has its own threshold. Each edge is assessed individually and has its own threshold. A perfectly linear edge has a non-linearity of 0. Contrast assessment measures the proportion of an image that is black or white. Speckle assessment measures the number of black or white speckles. There are separate thresholds for black-and-white speckles. 94% Kodak's automates image quality assessment Summary: Kodak's automates image quality assessment.kodak.com) is offering Automated Image Quality Assessment (AIQA), a software product that automatically assesses the quality of document images that pass through a scanner. You can define page sizes and page size tolerances. Assessment measurements are then defined for each page size. 91% Maturing market clarifies document capture choi Summary: "We saw that there were a lot of places to get equipment, and lots of companies that wanted the technology, but most system integrators and VARs were doing enterprise systems," he says. "But there weren't that many people in between, doing departmental systems." Where Cornerstone comes in, she says, is when the user wants to do unique things with its systems. The veteran of the three, the company... 91% JBIG: A New FAX Standard? Summary: Group IV, however, proved very popular for the storage of scanned document images. They have Group IV for binary and JPEG for multibit grayscale or color." "Thus the JBIG Alliance promotes three-bit scanning as the grayscale standard for document images. There are no image-processing libraries that you can buy today that work on grayscale images. There are no OCR engines that you can buy today... 90% Ascent Capture from Kofax: The component approach to document capture Summary: * Scanning. * Barcode. * Indexing. * Re-scanning. * Release. 90% Kofax Image Products Summary: Kofax Image Products is one of the leading suppliers of PC-based processing software for the document management market, specializing in high-speed document capture and high-volume optical storage management. 89% ABCs of high-speed document scanners Summary: ABCs OF HIGH-SPEED DOCUMENT SCANNERS. A high-speed scanner can be justified when more than 500 pages a day are scanned; large installations scan 10,000 or more pages a day. To compress or not to compress. The key to high-speed scanning is high-speed feeding. There is no such thing as a high-speed feeder that can reliably feed all sizes and thicknesses of paper like those found in acco... 89% Pre-processing forms is essential Summary: Pre-processing forms is essential. Sequoia Data specializes in software solutions for pre-processing images in order to make automated forms processing practical. One of the most significant hindrances to OCR accuracy is skew. Pre-processing is an essential ingredient of successful forms processing. Sequoia Data specializes in image enhancement and forms processing technologies. 89% The latest news in ... Scanners Trend Applicat... Summary: Speed. * Is the scanner simplex or duplex? For the OCR accuracy test, we scanned sets of test documents of varying weights, qualities and text sizes. All scanners provide default settings to simplify configuration. Some scanners can detect misfeeds and doubles. 89% Bigger, better, faster, cheaper High-speed s... Summary: Image quality is affected by image enhancement. * a background concern that producing the images will increase the cost to unacceptable levels. * cost. * Better image enhancement. Data prep is reduced if pages can be automatically turned. 89% Critical issues in production scanning Summary: Image system. * paper-handling capabilities. Documents can be designed to enhance the productivity of an imaging system. Real-world documents are not always crisp, clean sheets of paper. Document preparation is a critical step in imaging. 88% Kofax adds support with Adrenaline Kofax (Irvi... Summary: Kofax adds support with Adrenaline. Kofax (Irvine, CA) will exhibit seven new or upgraded products at AIIM, beginning with the Adrenaline line of accelerators forsoftware-based image processing.

Those that sell a more standalone application approach are represented by Kofax and Cornerstone (San Jose). Cornerstone's Pixel Translations products fit more into the toolkit category. COMPONENT IMAGING MARKET. The market moves toward components. 88% Scanners the digital gateway Summary: The Xerox (Rochester, NY) DocuImage 620S is designed for print on demand, forms-processing and document-imaging applications. DocuImage 620S ($12,000) is an open-system implementation of Xerox's DocuCS scanner that processes 40 ppm at 200 dpi, 32 ppm at 300 dpi and 20 ppm at 600 dpi. Both models offer 400-dpi resolution and a 1,000-sheet document feeder. The M3099EX/GX handles 11-in. These... 87% Component success stories Input/capture Summary: They needed a simple "file and find" imaging system, Nowak said. "We are always looking for technology with a customer service impact, and this definitely had a customer service impact," he said. With component imaging, there are no assumptions. "The way service bureau customers want images is never the same," said Naghshineh. This isn't to say that the component imaging approach is just for... 87% A workhorse built for speed, reliability and r... Summary: A workhorse built for speed, reliability and real-world performance. In our evaluation we focused on features that contribute to the scanner's effective throughput: speed, input range, reliability, image quality and usability. Speed:. We tested documents with paper sizes from 7-in. In all cases, it handled the documents with sustained throughput speeds while maintaining high quality. 87% Quality is free (so invest in it upfront) Summary: Quality is free (so invest in it upfront). If it is free, why do we have to invest in it? First, quality must be viewed from a system rather than a technology perspective. Investment in indexing.
