Page 122: Image Filters (Isis)
4. Image Filters (ISIS) The following image filters are provided with the ISIS driver. • Barcode Detection This recognizes barcodes. • Border Removal This removes the black areas around the images. • Crop This removes the white areas around the images. •...
Page 123 To stop using the image filters: 1 On the [Selected Filters] list, click the image filter whose use is no longer required to select it. Then press the [Remove] button. 2 The image filter selected from [Selected Filters] is now deleted. To stop using all the image filters, set the [Enhance Image] check box in the [Advanced Settings] dialog box to off.
Page 124: Barcode Detection
4.1 Barcode Detection This image filter recognizes the barcodes in the scanned images. Refer to the application’s operating manual how to use the barcode. If the barcodes cannot be recognized properly, the quality of the scanned images can be improved by using another image filter, examples of which are given below. Deskew This straightens out the image skew.
Page 125 Multiband analysis The multiband analysis function is used to improve the recognition accuracy when the quality of the images scanned is poor. Exact Length Set to string length if the length of the barcode character string is known ahead of time. The recognition accuracy and speed can be improved by specifying this length.
Page 126: Border Removal
4.2 Border Removal This image filter removes the black edges, which are produced by scanning or copying, around the images. Before Border Removal After Border Removal IMPORTANT NOTE: • Depending on the images to be scanned, the Border Removal function may not work properly.
Page 127: Crop
4.3 Crop This image filter removes the white margins around images. The dimensions of the white margins to remain at the top and bottom and at the left and right can be set separately. Furthermore, by setting the [Force symmetry] check box to on, the same dimensions can be left at the top and bottom and at the left and right.
Page 128: Deskew
4.4 Deskew This image filter straightens out the skew of scanned images. Image skew arises when documents are fed by the scanner, fax machine or copier. The Deskew image filter analyzes the scanned images and detects skew. The skew is detected from the text alignment and line orientation of the images. The images are then rotated on the basis of the angle of the skew detected.
Page 129 Min Angle Input the minimum angle of the skew to be detected. The angle is measured in 0.1 degree increments. If setting the angle for 25 degrees, enter 250. (Setting range: 0 to 449) Normally, satisfactory results are achieved when “1” is set. Max Angle Input the maximum angle of the skew to be detected.
Page 130 Remove Shear Since an angle of 90 degrees is normally retained when an image is skewed, the image can be deskewed simply by rotating it. However, there are times when the images are distorted. In cases like this, a process of simple rotation can align the top and bottom or left and right edges, but it cannot eliminate the distortion itself.
Page 131: Dilate
4.5 Dilate This image filter enlarges the black areas. When it is used, the image quality and legibility of the text are improved. Before Dilate After Dilate T T T [Dilate Properties] dialog box Amount Input here the number of times the Dilate image filter is to be applied. When this number is increased, the text and patterns appear thicker.
Page 132 Diagonal The four pixels on the diagonals around the black pixel in the center are replaced with black. Horizontal The two pixels at the left and right of the black pixel in the center are replaced with black. Vertical The two pixels at the top and bottom of the black pixel in the center are replaced with black.
Page 133: Erode
4.6 Erode This image filter makes the black areas smaller. When it is used, some information of the image’s detailed areas is lost. Before Erode After Erode T T T [Erode Properties] dialog box Amount Times Input here the number of times the Erode image filter is to be applied. When this number is increased, the text and patterns appear finer.
Page 134 Diagonal The four pixels on the diagonals around the white pixel in the center are replaced with white. Horizontal The two pixels at the left and right of the white pixel in the center are replaced with white. Vertical The two pixels at the top and bottom of the white pixel in the center are replaced with white.
Page 135: Halftone Removal
4.7 Halftone Removal This image filter removes the background and shading of images. Before Halftone Removal After Halftone Removal IMPORTANT NOTE: • Depending on the images to be scanned, the Halftone Removal function may not work properly.
Page 136: Hole Removal
4.8 Hole Removal This image filter removes the images of punched holes from one edge of the images. It searches for the round shapes which resemble punched holes near the edges of the images. It may also remove any patterns which resemble punched holes. Before Hole Removal After Hole Removal IMPORTANT NOTES:...
Page 137: Image Scaling
4.9 Image Scaling This image filter enlarges or reduces the size of the images. When the image width and height of the result are specified, the image size is changed accordingly while retaining its original width-to-height ratio. If the width-to-height size ratio specified differs from the image’s original width-to-height ratio, the image size is changed to the maximum size that the width-to-height ratio can be retained within the specified width and height.
Page 138: Invert Image
4.10 Invert Image This image filter converts the white pixels into black pixels and vice versa. 4.11 Line Removal This image filter reconstructs or removes the ruled lines on images. When it is used, the OCR results can be improved. Before Line Removal After Line Removal [Line Removal Properties] dialog box...
Page 139 Reconstruct form The lines are detected and removed. Next, straight lines are redrawn at the same locations. Lines which are considered to be parts of ruled lines are joined to each other. Horizontal/Vertical Enable This setting is for enabling the processing of the horizontal and vertical lines. Straight line algorithm This setting is for detecting straight lines.
Page 140: Noise Removal
4.12 Noise Removal This image filter reduces the noise (black spots) of images. Noise is caused by particles of carbon deposited from the printing by the copier or fax machine and by dirt and other foreign matter on the documents when they are scanned by the scanner.
Page 141 Max Area The area which is smaller than a percentage of the area defined by Maximum Height and Maximum Width is to be considered as noise. This percentage is set here. Normally, a setting of 100 is selected. Min Separation The gap between what is considered as noise and other characters, etc.
Page 142: Patchcode Detection
4.13 Patchcode Detection This image filter detects the patchcodes on the images and decodes them. If a patchcode cannot be recognized satisfactorily, the quality of the scanning images can be improved by using other image filters. For instance, the filters listed below can be used.
Page 143: Skeleton
4.14 Skeleton This image filter reduces black areas down to a skeleton, that is to say, the thickness of a single pixel. When it is used, the images become grossly distorted. It is normally used only when so required by OCR or some other application. Before Skeleton After Skeleton IMPORTANT NOTE:...
Page 144: Rotation
4.15 Rotation This image filter rotates the images in 90-degree increments. It can be used to rotate images by 90 degrees either clockwise or counterclockwise. It can be used to rotate images by 180 degrees as well. Mirror processing can also be executed at the same time as Rotation.
Page 145: Smooth
4.16 Smooth This image filter removes the protrusions and indentations appearing in characters and patterns. When five or six surrounding pixels have a different color, this function inverts the pixel concerned. It enables the size of files to be reduced when they are compressed with no accompanying loss of image information.
