Document Image Processing & Editing

  • Advanced JPEG Editing within Compressed JPEG DCT Space
  • Provides JPEG editing directly on JPEG compressed data thereby avoiding the quality loss of recompression and color conversion normally associated with editing JPEG images (more).
  • Auto Border Removal


  • Auto Inverse Text Correction



  • Auto Negate
  • Blank Page / Blank Rectangle Detection
  • Character Completion & Smoothing
    BEFORE
    Character completion and smoothing before
    AFTER
    Character completion and smoothing after
  • Comb Removal (commonly used in ICR forms)



  • Line Removal
  • Deskew


  • Despeckle
  • Dot Shading Removal



  • EXIF Meta data Editing
  • Hole Punch & Blob Removal



  • Image Binarization and Thresholding
  • Image Resizing
  • IPTC metadata support within JPEG
  • Noise Removal



  • Scale to Gray
  • Sub-Image Processing
  • Quickly decode and view a rectangle within a JPEG image without decoding the rest of the image data.
  • TIFF Tag Editing Utilities
  • Buffer to buffer image processing for maximum flexibility
  • The high-performance API (Application Programmers Interface) offers total control of image processing functions


Compression
& File Formats

  • JBIG2
  • Provides higher compression ratios for lossy and lossless compression of binary images
  • JPEG (Progressive)
  • JPEG (Sequential) – 24-bit RGB, 8-bit grayscale
  • Patented technology for enhanced JPEG decompression will remove block artifacts from over-compressed JPEG images without blurring
  • IPTC metadata support within JPEG
  • JPEG 2000 – 24-bit RGB, 8-bit grayscale
  • Supports a user-configurable number of threads per operation for optimal throughput on multicore CPUs
  • Metadata support
  • MO:DCA
  • PCX
  • PDF
  • Single or Multi-Page with Embedded Image
  • TGA
  • TIFF
  • Metadata support
  • BMP
  • CAD
  • Render from CAD format to DIB
  • DXF, DWG, DWF
  • CALS
  • DCX
  • GIF / LZW


Color Image
Processing & Editing

  • Auto Binarize
  • Auto Color Detection
  • Analyze image content then recommend if image should remain color or can safely be converted to bitonal

  • Brightness and Contrast Adjustment
  • Color Conversion, Palette Creation, Rotation
  • Color Drop
  • Remove specified colors from an image
  • Image Detergent®
  • Reduce color noise and variation (great for removing JPEG compression artifacts around characters)
  • Virtual Bulb
  • Emulate a color dropout scanner
