Snowbound cleans up scanned documents and images
Snowbound Software has announced a new module that provides additional image clean-up capabilities including hole punch removal and blank page detection to enhance image quality for colour, grayscale and black and white documents and images that have been scanned or faxed.
The optional module for its RasterMaster for Windows product allows these new functions to be invoked manually when needed or called automatically to detect and remove blank pages, blob removal, unwanted shading and borders, speckles, hole punch circles, and more. In addition, automated image handling capabilities including auto invert, auto orient and deskew can be used to straighten or rotate scanned images.
Jim Palo, Vice President of Engineering at Snowbound, commented, "These most recent enhancements provide significant new benefits, especially if automated at point of capture, for banks, insurance companies, medical offices and any other business that regularly processes scanned or faxed documents."
Additional DocClean enhancements help to maximize archiving and storage efficiency by enabling companies to reduce file sizes for storage by providing:
The ability to determine if document content should remain color or be converted to bi-tonal
The ability to automatically convert grayscale and color images to bi-tonal
The ability to remove specified colors from an image
The ability to reduce color noise and variation
