Appendix A Glossary

Batch

A number of documents to be scanned as a group.

Bi-tonal image

An unscreened image that consists of pixels which are either black or white (1 bit/pixel), as opposed to gray scale (screened) images which consist of pixels which are assigned a value based upon a range of gray shades.

Calibration

An operation that determines any system nonuniformity for which the scanner must compensate during scanning. The unit must be calibrated at least once a day or after power has been turned on.

Charge-coupled device (CCD)

A light-sensitive, solid-state device used to convert image information (light) to electrical signals as a document is scanned.

Compression

Compression is used to reduce the number of bytes needed for scanned document images, thus saving storage space and/or transmission time. This is accomplished with special algorithms that use run-length encoding.

Continuous tone images

Images, such as photographs, which can assume all possible shades of gray.

Cropping

Technique used to capture a desired portion of an image. Allows the entire document to be scanned without all document data being stored.

Digitized image

Image data represented by binary ones and zeros.
