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.

Image processing refers to several separate features of the scanner

that allow you to automatically adjust each image in a certain way that

may improve the resulting images. Common examples of image

processing features are correcting any skew in the fed document,

cutting the edges of the image off to remove any unneeded border or

cleaning up extraneous “noise” on the image. The idea is to do this

automatically so you can get better images with a minimum amount of

rework.

The information that follows describes the image processing features

by walking you through the Scan Validation Tool. The same options

should be available on the user interface of the software application you

are using (i.e., Kodak Capture Software). All fields on the Scan

Validation Tool are described in this chapter.

Common terms

Following are a few common terms that are used throughout this

chapter:

Bi-tonal or Binary — black-and-white.

Simplex — indicates that only one side of the document (the front side)

will be scanned, creating a single page image.

Duplex — indicates that both sides of the document will be scanned,

creating two page images.

Cameras — it is important to understand the concept of “cameras”.

The Kodak i30 Scanner is a simplex scanner. The camera has the

ability to separate color and bi-tonal/binary data simultaneously. This

means it scans one-sided documents; a front color camera and a front

bi-tonal/binary image, allowing you to capture one side of a document

either in color/grayscale or black-and-white with a single scan.

The Kodak i40 Scanner is a duplex scanner. The cameras have the

ability to separate color and bi-tonal/binary data simultaneously. This

means it scans both sides of a two-sided document; a front color

image, a rear color image, a front bi-tonal/binary image, and a rear bi-

tonal/binary image, allowing you to capture both sides of a document in

either color/grayscale, black-and-white, or a combination of color/

grayscale and black-and-white with a single scan.

When you use the Kodak Scan Validation Tool, you will need to select

which camera(s) you want to use to scan your document to get the

desired results. You can use the following examples as a guide when

making camera selections.

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.

Example 1: scanning a two-sided color document both sides in

color

If you want to scan a two-sided color document, make your camera

selections as follows:

Camera selection

Result - Side 1

Result - Side 2

• Select both Front Color and Rear Color. Depending on which

camera (in this example, Front Color) is highlighted, will depend on

which side of the document is scanned first. The result is two images

in color.

Example 2: scanning a two-sided color document, front side only

in bi-tonal

If you want to scan only the front side of a color document in black-and-

white, make your camera selections as follows:

Camera selection

Original - Side 1

Result - Side 1

• Select and highlight Front Bitonal. The resultant image will be the

front side of the document in black-and-white.

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. If you are using the ISIS Driver, see the section entitled,

“Using the ISIS Driver” later in this chapter.

For the purpose of this manual, all displayed dialog boxes assume the

features available on the Kodak i40 Scanner (duplex scanner). If you

have a Kodak i30 Scanner (simplex scanner) all options are limited to

simplex scanning only.

Kodak Scanner

Properties dialog box

The Kodak Scanner Properties dialog box allows you to review and

configure the scanner’s settings. It consists of several tabbed windows

each of which will be described within this chapter.

Click on each tab to set all the desired values. You do not have to click

OK until you have made all selections on all of the tabs.

Buttons on the Kodak

Scanner Properties dialog

box

Following are descriptions of the buttons located at the bottom of the

dialog box.

Defaults  when you select Defaults, the message Reset all values

to factory defaults? will be shown. Clicking Yes on this message will

reset all values on all tabs to the factory default settings.

Copy  copies the settings of the front camera to the rear camera for

the selected camera (bi-tonal, color or grayscale). For example, if you

have Front Bi-tonal highlighted, these values will be copied to the

Rear Bi-tonal camera. If you have Front Color highlighted, these

values will be copied to the Rear Color camera. This option is only

available for the Kodak i40 Scanner.

OK  saves the values set on all tabs.

Cancel  closes the dialog box without saving any changes.

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. The Kodak scanner drivers allow

you to control the camera settings independently. Some settings apply

only to bi-tonal images, other apply to color images. By selecting the

appropriate camera and image type you can control the scanner’s

output.

• If you have a Kodak i40 Scanner, you can select any individual

camera (i.e., Front Color, Rear Color, Front Bi-tonal and/or Rear

Bi-tonal) or any combination of the cameras. This means you can do

the front side, rear side or both sides of a document.

• If you have a Kodak i30 Scanner, you can select either Front Color

and/or Front Bi-tonal. This means you can do the front side of a

document depending on how the documents are placed in the feeder.

• Whatever is highlighted in the Camera Selection box determines the

values available on the Imaging, Paper, Compression and Dropout

tabs.

NOTE: Whatever is checked in the Camera Selection box determines

what the image output will be. Be sure not to confuse the

“highlighted” camera with the “selected” camera. They may not

be the same.

Scanning bi-tonal images

Bi-tonal images are scanned images that are made up of only black-

and-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. Thresholding and Adaptive Threshold

Processing 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. Different

types of documents may be scanned using the same image processing

parameters and still result in excellent scanned images.

• iThresholding: selecting iThresholding allows the scanner to

dynamically evaluate each document to determine the optimal

threshold value to produce the highest quality image. This allows

scanning of mixed document sets with varying quality (i.e., faint text,

shaded backgrounds, color backgrounds) to be scanned using a

single setting thus reducing the need for document sorting.

When using iThresholding, only Contrast may be adjusted.

• Adaptive Thresholding (ATP): the Adaptive Threshold Processor

separates the foreground information in an image (i.e., text, graphics,

lines, etc.) from the background information (i.e., white or non-white

paper background).

When using Adaptive Thresholding, Threshold and Contrast may be

adjusted.

A-61512 May 2006

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

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.

64-Level Bayer Dither, 64-Level 45 Degree Clustered Dot Screen

and 64-Level Dispersed Dot Screen  represent alternative

screening options to emulate gray.

Noise Filter  occasionally small dots or specks appear in the

background of a scanned image. These specks increase file

compression size and usually contain no image information. Using the

Noise Filter on documents containing very fine detail (e.g., the dot on

an "i" in 4-point type) may cause information to be lost. It is

recommended that you do not use Noise Filter when scanning

documents with text smaller than 7-point type.

Noise Filter can be used with bi-tonal images only and is front/rear

independent. Choose (none), Lone Pixel or Majority Rule.

• Lone Pixel reduces random noise on bi-tonal images by converting a

single black pixel surrounded by white to white or by converting a

single white pixel surrounded by black to black.

A-61512 May 2006

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• 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.

• Halftone Removal is 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.

Contrast %  sets the image contrast by adjusting the difference

between black-and-white, thereby making an image sharper or softer.

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.

Contrast 1

Contrast 60

Contrast 100

Adjust the contrast setting by dragging the Contrast sliding bar to the

left or right to achieve the desired contrast setting, or you can enter a

value (1 to 100) in the Contrast text box. Scan the document to check

the contrast.

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.

Adjust the threshold setting by dragging the Threshold sliding bar to the

left or right to achieve the desired threshold setting, or you can enter a

value (0 to 255) in the Threshold text box. Scan the document to check

the threshold.

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. The

industry standard is 200 dpi (about 8 pixels/mm).

Choose a resolution value from the drop down list. The default value is

200 dpi. Available resolutions are 75, 100, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400 or

600.

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 Tables  the selection of a color table effects how the scanner

reproduces the color of a scanned document. Color Tables are look-up

tables that store color descriptions which can be used for gamma

correction of images being transferred between different equipment

(i.e., scanners, printers, monitors, etc.). You can choose from the three

Kodak default color tables: Pictures, Text and Text with Pictures, or if

you have created your own custom color tables using the Brightness

and Contrast Control, these tables will also be available. For more
