4 Image Processing Overview This chapter introduces concepts that may be new to many users. The Kodak i30 and i40 Scanners provide the ability to process scanned images to improve their quality. Using these features the scanner can sometimes make the scanned image look better than the original document. Basic image processing concepts are reviewed in this chapter to help you take advantage of these powerful features.
Making camera selections When you launch the Kodak Scan Validation Tool, you will be making selections on the dialog boxes to set up your images for scanning test documents. Both TWAIN and ISIS have camera selection boxes that refer to the cameras within the scanners. Following are some examples of choosing the correct camera for the desired results. For the purpose of these examples, the TWAIN Datasource has been used.
Starting the Scan Validation Tool 1. Select Start>Run or select Programs>Kodak>Document Imaging>Scan Validation Tool. Enter the filename or choose Browse to locate the ScanValidation.exe file. 2. Select TWAIN (or ISIS) for the Driver Type and the Kodak Scanner i30/40 Scanner as the Driver. The Scan Validation Tool dialog box will be displayed. 3. Double-click the Scanner icon to access the Kodak Scanner Properties dialog box.
Scan Validation Tool dialog box The Scan Validation Tool (SVT) is a diagnostic application that Kodak provides with most Kodak scanners. The SVT user interface allows access to all the features of the scanner and is a good way to verify that the scanner is working properly. The Scan Validation Tool allows you to verify scanner functionality using both the TWAIN Datasource and the ISIS Driver. Displays the user interface for the selected driver.
Using the TWAIN Datasource The TWAIN Datasource is a piece of software that communicates with your scanner. It is provided by Kodak with the i30 and i40 Scanners. Many scanning applications support the TWAIN standard and this datasource can be used to interface with these applications. This section provides descriptions of the scanner features using options on the TWAIN tabs and how to set these options. If you are using the TWAIN Datasource, follow the procedures in this section to set up your scanner.
The Imaging tab The Imaging tab allows you to define several image processing values that can be applied to your scanner. The Camera Selection box lists the available sides (front and rear) of any document where you can define individual image processing values. For detailed information about the cameras, refer to the beginning of this chapter, “Making camera selections”. On the Kodak i40 Scanner (duplex) there is a separate camera for each side of the document being scanned.
Scanning bi-tonal images Bi-tonal images are scanned images that are made up of only blackand-white elements.The descriptions below are for bi-tonal images only. Binarization is the process of converting a grayscale or color image to a bi-tonal image. There are several different methods of performing this conversion. Two of the options are iThresholding and Adaptive Threshold Processing. These options are applied to grayscale scanned images and outputs a bi-tonal electronic image.
When Adaptive Thresholding is selected, Contrast values may range from 1 to 100. Fixed thresholding ATP disabled ATP enabled Fixed Processing used for black-and-white and other high contrast documents. A single level is set to determine the black-and-white transition. The threshold is programmable over the entire density range. Fixed thresholding sets Contrast to 0. If Fixed Processing is selected, Contrast is not available.
• Majority Rule sets the central pixel value in a matrix according to the majority of white or black pixels in a matrix. No Noise Filter Used Lone Pixel Image Filter used to enhance images containing dot matrix text and/ or images printed with shaded or colored backgrounds using halftone screens. This filter effectively eliminates noise caused by the halftone screen. Choose (none) or Halftone Removal.
Threshold used to convert a grayscale image to a bi-tonal image. The thresholding value is an integer ranging from 0 to 255. A low threshold value produces a lighter image, and can be used to subdue backgrounds and subtle, unneeded information. A high threshold value produces a darker image, and can be used to help pick up faint images.
Scanning color images The descriptions below are for scanning color images only. Resolution or dots per inch (dpi) indicates the scanning resolution, which largely determines the quality of the scanned image. The greater the resolution, the better the reproduction. However, scanning at a higher resolution also increases scanning time and file size. Choose a resolution value from the drop down list. The default is 200 dpi. Available resolutions are: 75, 100, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400 or 600.
Scanning grayscale images The descriptions below are for scanning grayscale images only. Resolution or dots per inch (dpi) indicates the scanning resolution, which largely determines the quality of the scanned image. The greater the resolution, the better the reproduction. However, scanning at a higher resolution also increases scanning time and file size. Choose a resolution value from the drop down list. The default is 200 dpi. Available resolutions are: 75, 100, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400 or 600.
The Paper tab The Paper tab allows you to define values relating to image output (i.e., cropping values, rotation, paper size and units of measure). Camera selection box lists the available sides of an image that you can define individual image processing values. The display window on the right will display the cropping area you are altering. The cropping area will change as values are being altered. Cropping values Cropping allows you to capture a portion of the document being scanned.
• Relative to Document: (zone processing): (used for batches of same-sized documents) — zone processing is a floating fixed crop window (the zone) located relative to the upper left corner of a document. It allows you to select an area on the document to be delivered in either color/grayscale or bi-tonal format (a separate window for both bi-tonal and color/grayscale may be defined). Different parameters may be selected for both the front and rear of the image.
Automatic Deskew select this option to automatically deskew a document within ±0.3 degrees of the leading edge of the document. This option is only available if you have Automatic cropping selected. NOTE: If the skew angle is too great, some of the image may be cut off. Image Edge Fill — fills the edges of a scanned image, after all other image processing options have been applied, by covering the area in Black or White (as selected).
The Compression tab Compression squeezes a file to decrease the total size. Bi-tonal images are normally compressed using a CCITT standard called Group IV, often used in conjunction with TIFF files. Color and grayscale images are often compressed using JPEG techniques. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) is a file format standard commonly used for bi-tonal images. It is often used in conjuction with the CCITT Group IV compression standard to reduce image file size.
The following color/grayscale compression options are available: • JPEG — JPEG compression offers a JPEG quality of Draft, Good, Better, Best, Superior.
Filter Threshold the value that is used to identify the color which will be dropped out. This value is applied to the color area. Color with a Red/Green/Blue component more than the entered value is dropped. This setting determines how much of the selected color is dropped out. A lower value will leave more of the selected color in, while a higher value will drop more of the selected color out. Background this value will be substituted in the grayscale (prethresholded) image for the color being removed.
The Options tab The Options tab allows you to set Image Transfer and Transport control. Image Transfer Order if you are using simultaneous output scanning (bi-tonal and color/grayscale) for either side, this option controls the order in which the scanner returns image data. For example, if you are scanning color and bi-tonal and you select Bi-tonal Image, the scanner will return the bi-tonal front image, then the front color image. Transport Timeout allows you to set a transport timeout value.
The Setup tab The Setup tab allows you to download firmware and set the scanner clock. The Setup tab is only available when running the Scan Validation Tool, via the TWAIN Datasource. Package the scanner firmware runs your Kodak i30/i40 Scanners. The value displayed in the Current field is the version of firmware currently in use by your scanner. Periodically Kodak releases updated versions of firmware which are available through Kodak Service and Support website (www.Kodak.com/go/docimaging).
The Info tab 52 The Info tab displays the following scanner information.
Using the ISIS Driver The ISIS Driver is a piece of software that communicates with the scanner. This driver is created and maintained by Pixel Translations, Inc. and is provided with the scanner by Kodak. Many scanning applications support ISIS drivers and this driver can be used to interface with them. This section provides descriptions of the options on the ISIS dialog boxes and how to set these options.
Default when you select Default, the values will be reset to the factory defaults. OK saves the values set on all dialog boxes. Cancel closes the dialog box without saving any changes. Camera Settings area The selections in the Camera area list the available sides (front and back) of an image where you can define individual image processing values. Options include: Front Color, Front Binary, Back Color and Back Binary.
Configure highlight the image you want to setup. As you select the image, other options will become available on the Scanner Settings dialog box. The availability of these options is dependent upon the selection you make. Convert Color to Grayscale this option is only available when configuring color cameras. When selected, the scanner will convert the color image data to grayscale before making it available to the host PC.
• Aggressive: selecting this option will eliminate any residual black border on any image edges. In order to achieve this, there is a possibility that a small amount of image data from the edge of the document may be lost • Fixed to Transport: (used for batches of same-sized documents) allows you to define the area or zone to be imaged. Fixed to Transport cropping is used in conjunction with paper size and page layout and assumes you are center-feeding your documents.
Binarization the following descriptions are for binary images only. The following binarization options work on grayscale scanned images and outputs a bi-tonal electronic image. Their strength lies in the ability to separate the foreground information from the background information even when the background color or shading varies, and the foreground information varies in color quality and darkness.
Contrast % sets the image contrast by adjusting the difference between black-and-white, thereby making an image sharper or softer. Contrast is only available for binary images. In a low contrast setting, the difference between black-and-white is small, so the image is softer. In a high contrast setting, the difference between black-and-white is large, so the image is clearer. Select a contrast value from 1 to 100. The default is 50.
More Scanner Settings dialog box Additional image processing values unique to the i30/i40 Scanners are available when you choose the More button on the Scanner Settings dialog box. Camera settings area The selections in the Camera area list the available sides (front and back) of an image where you can define individual image processing values. When starting the configuration process, use the steps below as a guide: 1. Check the images you wish to capture (Enable camera settings). 2.
Convert Color to Grayscale this option is only available when configuring color cameras. When selected, the scanner will convert the color image data to grayscale before making it available to the host. Scan Source the host PC provides information to the scanner defining whether to scan one or both sides of the document. Simplex indicates that only one side (front side) of the document will be scanned. Simplex – Back indicates that only one side (rear side) of the document will be scanned.
Halftone Removal used to enhance images containing dot matrix text and/or images with shaded or colored backgrounds using halftone screens. This filter effectively eliminates noise caused by the halftone screen. This option is only applied to binary images. Polarity the host PC provides information to the scanner defining whether the image should be stored in standard or reverse polarity. The default polarity is Black on a White background. Reverse polarity is White on a Black background.
Color Dropout options Electronic color dropout is used to eliminate a form’s background so that a document management system may automatically — through OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) technology — read pertinent data without interference from the lines and boxes of the form. You can select the desired dropout color, and alter the filter threshold and background. Dropout Color the i30/i40 Scanners can drop out red, green or blue. None is the default.
Scanner Control dialog box Selecting the Scanner Control button on the More Scanner Settings dialog box displays the Scanner Control dialog box. This dialog box allows you to set multi-feed detection, transport control, enable/disable lamp saver and set the programmable key functions. The settings in this dialog box do not effect the quality of the image. See the section entitled, “Setting scanner controls” later in this chapter. OK saves the values set on the dialog box.
Energy Saving features of the scanner Energy Star allows you to set the amount of time the scanner will remain inactive before the scanner goes into an idle state (sleep mode). Choices are: 0 to 60 minutes. Transport timeout This feature allows you to set a transport timeout value. This value is the amount of time the scanner will wait after the last document enters the transport before the transport timeout action is taken. You can specify a time delay setting from 1 to 300 seconds.
Scan Area dialog box The Scan Area dialog box allows you to define the amount of image data which is returned to the host. The area can be defined in Pixels, Inches or Centimeters. The Scan Area dialog box is only available when Fixed to Transport or Relative to Document is selected on the Scanner Settings dialog box. Page size and layout the default paper size is set when a scanner is first selected. You can choose a different paper size using the dropdown list box.
5 Maintenance Cleaning the scanner Your scanner needs to be cleaned periodically. If your documents do not feed easily, if several documents feed at the same time or if streaks appear on your images, it is time to clean your scanner. The section entitled, “Supplies and consumables” at the end of this chapter provides a listing of the supplies required to clean your scanner. IMPORTANT: Use only non-flammable cleaners such as those provided through Kodak Parts Services. Do not use household cleaners.
