|
Pegasus Imaging proudly announces the release of ScanFix Version 5 for development of bitonal scanned image enhancement applications. New features include improved deskew functionality, improved hole punch removal, new technology for data entry comb removal, automatic binarization of grayscale images to create bitonal images, automatic correction of negative images, automatic border crop, blank page removal and blank rectangle detection. Confidence values have been added to facilitate exception processing for many clean up actions. ScanFix is also packaged with another powerful component, ImagXpress Document v8, for image input, image output, image handling, viewing, compression, conversion, TWAIN scanning, annotation, printing, image processing, and more. |

 Image Input, Image Output, and Image Handling |
| Improved Deskew |
- Easier to use configuration settings
- User can provide minimum confidence to proceed
- Added User configurable High Quality vs. High Speed setting
- High Quality sets a higher number of places to check around the image, ultimately providing the highest level of deskew accuracy, but the image processing speed is slower
- High Speed sets a lower number of places to check around the image, ultimately providing the fastest image processing speed, but offers a slightly lower level of accuracy
| Improved Hole Punch & Blob Removal |
- User configurable threshold settings
- Specify full page or a specific area of interest
- Reduce file sizes and storage requirements with cleaner pages
| New Comb Removal Technology (commonly used in ICR forms) |
- Automatically remove data entry combs from forms
- Automatically repair text that intersects with lines (fill broken characters), essential for forms processing
| Auto Negate |
- Automated reporting of black on white (normal) or white on black (negative) images
- Automated correction (user configurable to simply report or to automatically correct)
- Creates black on white images, which are often required for many other ScanFix image processing actions
| Auto Binarize |
- Reduce grayscale and color images to black and white, and clean up noisy images
- Optimize binarization results using the user configurable options
| Auto Border Crop |
- Automatically convert black borders to white
- Reduce image file size (both physical dimensions and compressed file size)
- Automated border crop (user configurable to simply report or to automatically correct)
- Use on microfilm or small document images that have been overscanned
| Blank Page / Blank Rectangle Detection |
- Identify and report blank pages, or blank areas of interest
- Configure settings to accommodate bleed-through or noisy images (i.e. ignore hole punches)
- Reduce file sizes and storage requirements by eliminating blank pages
