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.
