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. 91% Automated cleanup rids systems of worthless im... 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... 86% large-format capture Color brightens the sca... Summary: CalComp 800-932-1212 www.calcomp.SGI-scanners. Feeder scanners offer a maximum resolution up to 400 dpi. It is suitable for use in high volume production environments. 85% High-res barking up a low-res tree Summary: Much of the time those other applications are word processor or spreadsheet applications, neither of which use color. Edge acuity and grayscale critical to readability. Technology and patents. In 1991, Document Technologies Inc. The patent on an ultra-high resolution technology (called equivalent resolution technology or ERT) was granted in 1996. 83% 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. 82% 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... 81% BUSINESS PROCESS RE- Summary: When planning for imaging and workflow--and the subsequent organizational makeover --management should carefully map the strategic benefit of the change and how it will be accomplished.

CRT color model that is the first of its kind in screen size. In addition to being the first announced 19-in. screen, Hitachi says the release of the SuperScan Elite 751 (model CM751U) incorporates new technology to reduce the footprint size to be comparable to that of a 17-in. monitor. 77% 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... 77% RAID: A necessary requirement for today's networking Summary: But what is RAID? What is the difference between RAID levels and RAID vendors? The confusion would be overwhelming. But what is RAID? The confusion would be overwhelming. 77% OCR for Win 95: Comparing Caere OmniPage 7 and Xerox TextBridge 96 Summary: OCR is a very demanding task, and multiprocessing is not an option, it's a requirement. After a page or two of checking correct "errors," you have the option of only checking the worst "errors." The display window and the Soundex correction screens are very helpful. This measures every time a user would be faced with an error in a spell checker and the obvious errors that the spell checker... 76% 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. 76% Multifunction peripherals Office in a box Summary: It's easy to be wrong about multifunction peripherals (MFPs)--those gadgets that put printing, copying, scanning and faxing in a single box. That's wrong too. Wrong again. MFPs for small- and big-time imaging. But most of today's MFP units are not really suited to large-scale imaging. 76% Gulf War declassification project puts USIraq... Summary: Imaging World, October 21st, 1996. Gulf War declassification project. puts US/Iraqi records on the Web. After the images have been through those devices, they go through an image enhancement solution that does the cropping and deskewing. He or she cleans up the image by further despeckling and deskewing. 76% Cornerstone's back (in the black) Summary: After a bumpy six months, Cornerstone Imaging (San Jose, Nasdaq:CRNR) has returned to profitability. "We continued execution of the plan we laid out in April to return the company to profitability," said Cornerstone CEO Thomas van Overbeek.

Another mind-blowing fact is the rate at which technology is evolving and proliferating today vs. pilot applications vs. vs. Nor is it FileNet vs. 72% DocMgmt Summary: But the fact is, even small companies can take advantage of this technology because it is being offered to potential customers in several different forms. Outsourcing can be profitably used by large companies as well. Perhaps the most promising print-on-demand distribution solution is the Internet. But many other types of companies can use this system as well. With these advantages, it's a wonder... 71% 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.
