Summary: For OCR or other recognition applications, grayscale images contain much more data to work with than bitonal images. The two major roadblocks for grayscale scanning have traditionally been scanner technologies and computer technologies. Technology advances. Previously, scanner technology could not effectively handle grayscale because it was not designed for grayscale output. There are plenty of... 96% Grayscale standard about to take the stage Summary: The obvious solution seems to be to scan documents at higher resolutions to provide users with higher quality images. However, the higher the scan resolution, the larger the file size. The JBIG Solution. Because the optimal number of shades of gray is 8, the JBIG Alliance promotes 3-bit JBIG as the standard. JBIG Alliance. 95% 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.
