Chapter 4. Acquiring tne Image

Chapter 4

Acquiring the Image
Recognition quality depends greatly on the quality of the source image. In this chapter you will learn how to scan the document properly, how to open and read an image you already have on your PC (see the list of supported image formats in Supported Image Formats section), how to process images and make them good for recognition etc.
Scanning Setting scanning parameters Tips on brightness tuning Opening image Opening image using Clibpoard or drag-&-drop Working with imageScanning FineReader Sprint "talks" with scanners via the TWAIN interface. It is a universal standard adopted in 1992 in order to unify the interaction of devices providing image input into computer (such as scanners) and external applications. Important: Consult the documentation supplied with the scanner to connect it correctly. After you've connected the scanner to the computer, do not forget to install a TWAIN-driver and/or a scanning application.

Tips on brightness tuning
The scanned image has to be legible. an example of a good image (from the OCR point of view) If you see that the scanned image is far from perfect (characters are glued or torn), consult the table below to find how you can improve the image quality. Your image looks like this: Possible remedy:
Try to decrease the brightness (it will make the image darker). Try to scan it in gray mode (the brightness autotuning is used in characters are "torn" or very this case). light Try to increase the brightness (it will make the image brighter). Try to scan it in gray mode (the brightness autotuning is used in this case).
characters are distorted, glued, or filled

Opening Images

If you don't have a scanner, you may still recognize image files (see the list of supported image formats in the Supported Image Formats section).

To open an image:

Click the arrow right to the 1-Scan button and select the Open Image item in the local menu. The 1-Scan button icon will change the Scan caption will be replaced with the Open caption. Select the Open image item in the File menu. Select the image in the Open dialog.It will be displayed in the Image window of FineReader Sprint. Tip: To open and recognize the image automatically, use the Open&Read mode: 1. Select the Open&Read item in the Process menu or just press CTRL+SHIFT+D. The Open dialog will open. 2. Select the image for recognition in the Open dialog.
Opening image using Clipboard or drag-&drop

Clipboard

ABBYY FineReader Sprint can open file or bitmap images from clipboard. To do it, select the Paste image item in the Edit menu.

Drag-&-drop

You can use drag-&-drop to open image files in FineReader Sprint. 1. Make sure ABBYY FineReader Sprint is running. 2. Select the image file. 3. Click and drag the selection on the Taskbar. 4. Wait till ABBYY FineReader Sprint becomes active. 5. Move the mouse pointer over the FineReaders window and release the mouse button.

Working with Image

Invert image
Some scanners invert images (turning black color into white and vice versa) during scanning. You may want to apply the Invert Image option to make the document appearance standard, i.e. black font against a white background. To do it: Select the Invert Image item in the Image menu.

Rotate image

The recognition quality depends on the image having the standard orientation (the text should be read top-down and the lines should be horizontal). By default FineReader Sprint detects the page orientation automatically during recognition. If FineReader Sprint detected the page orientation incorrectly: Select the Rotate Clockwise item in the Image menu to rotate the image 90 clockwise. Select the Rotate Counter-Clockwise item in the Image menu to rotate the image 90 counter-clockwise. Select the Rotate Upside Down item in the Image menu to rotate the image 180.

Increase/Decrease the image scale
Select the you need in the Veiw menu, or Right-click the image and select the scale you need in the local menu.

Chapter 5

Page Layout Analysis
FineReader Sprint must "know" what image areas it needs to recognize before it starts recognition. It's the page layout analysis procedure that serves this purpose. This procedure draws text blocks, picture blocks and tables. In this chapter you will learn more about the following: when manual page analysis may be needed, what block types there are, how blocks drawn by automatic layout analysis procedure could be edited.
General information on page layout analysis Block types Drawing and editing blocks manually
General information on page layout analysis
In most cases, FineReader Sprint is capable of analyzing complex page layouts. Start the automatic analysis by clicking the 2-Read button. The recognition will be performed simultaneously with the layout analysis. Note: A standalone procedure of page layout analysis is also available (menu Process>Analyze Layout). You may run this standalone procedure if needed, but remember that in this case the page layout analysis quality could be inferior, because the coupled layout analysis/recognition procedure run by the above-mentioned button uses additional information acquired during the recognition to aid layout analysis.
You may want to draw blocks manually if:
You want to recognize only a part of a page;
Chapter 5. Page Layout Analysis
Note: Some manual table layout analysis features are not available in ABBYY FineReader Sprint: you cant add or remove separators; merge or split table cells.

Block types

Blocks are image areas enclosed in frames. Blocks tell the system what image areas to recognize and in what order. The blocks also affect how the original page layout is retained. Different types of blocks are represented in different colors.
The following block types are available:

Recognition Area this block type is used for automatic recognition and analysis. After you click the 2-Read button, all blocks of this type will be automatically analyzed and recognized. Text The Text Block marks the text image areas. It should only contain text formatted in one column. If there are pictures inside the text, draw separate blocks for them. Table The Table Block marks the table image areas including tables with or without grid lines. This block is represented as a table in the output text. Picture Picture blocks are used to mark image areas containing pictures. A block of this type may enclose an actual picture or any other object (say, a section of text) you want to be displayed as a picture in the recognized text.
Drawing and editing blocks manually

To create a new block:

1. Position the mouse at the point where you want a corner of your block to be.Hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse pointer to the point where you want the opposite block corner to be. 2. Release the mouse button. A frame will enclose the image area you selected. By default, it is recognition area.
To change the block type:
You may then change the block type. The drawn block type may be one of the following: Recognition Area, Text, Table, or Picture (see Block Types). To change the block type: Right-click the block and select the Block Type item and then the corresponding block type in the local menu.
To move the block borders:
1. 2. 3. Click the block border and hold down the left mouse button. The mouse pointer will become a two-headed arrow. Drag the pointer in the direction you need. Release the mouse button.
Note: If you click a block corner, you will drag both horizontal and vertical borders of the block at the same time.

Make the block active

Click the block. Rectangles appear on the corners of the block and its frame becomes thicker.

Activate several blocks:

Holding down the CTRL key, click the necessary blocks.
Delete one or several blocks
Select the necessary blocks with the mouse (to select several blocks at once hold down the CTRL key) and press DEL.

Delete all blocks

Right-click the image and select Delete All Blocks and Text (CTRL+DEL) from the local menu.
Note: If the image you delete blocks on has already been recognized, all the recognized text in the Text window will also be deleted.
