i200 Series Scanners Image Processing Guide A-61520
Image Processing Guide for i200 Series Scanners Overview This documentation introduces concepts that may be new to many users. The Kodak i200 Series 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 document. Common terms Following are a few common terms that are used throughout this document: 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 i250 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 image and a front bi- tonal/binary image, allowing you to capture one side of a document either in color/grayscale or black-and-white. Effectively the means you have two cameras on the i250 Scanner; front color and front bi-tonal. The Kodak i260 and i280 Scanner are a duplex scanners. 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 and black-and-white. Effectively this means that you have four cameras on the i260 and i280 Scanners; front color, rear color, front bi-tonal and rear bi-tonal. A-61520 April 2005 1
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 When you launch the Kodak Scan Validation Tool, you will be making selections 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. 2 A-61520 April 2005
Starting the Scan 1. Select Start>Run or select Programs>Kodak>Document Validation Tool 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 i200 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. A-61520 April 2005 3
Scan Validation Tool The Scan Validation Tool (SVT) is a diagnostic application that Kodak dialog box 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 Displays four for the selected driver. Disables the scanner images at a time Enables the scanner Displays eight Closes the image viewer images at a time (no images will be displayed) Enables to scanner Displays two to feed one page images at a time Displays one Allows you to select image at a time the directory to store scanned images and Displays the their file names. Only License Key available when Save window Images to Files is selected. Display Every  enter the sampling rate of the images you wish to display while scanning. For example, to see every image, enter a value of 1. To see every 10th image, enter a value of 10. Last File  displays the full path and file name for the last stored image. Total  displays the total number of images scanned during the current Scan Validation Tool session. 4 A-61520 April 2005
Using the TWAIN The TWAIN Datasource is a piece of software that communicates with Datasource your scanner. It is provided by Kodak with the i200 Series 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 document. For the purpose of this manual, all displayed dialog boxes assume the features available on the Kodak i260 and i280 Scanners (duplex scanners). If you have a Kodak i250 Scanner (simplex scanner) all options are limited to simplex scanning only. Kodak Scanner The Kodak Scanner Properties dialog box allows you to review and Properties dialog box 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 Following are descriptions of the buttons located at the bottom of the Scanner Properties dialog dialog box. 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. A-61520 April 2005 5
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 i260 and i280 Scanners. 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 i250/i280 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 i260 or i280 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 i250 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. 6 A-61520 April 2005
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 output a bi-tonal electronic image. iThresholding 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-61520 April 2005 7
