Last month we published a white paper on eDiscovery, which gave a brief overview on the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM). Today, we want to dive into more details about the EDRM and how it pertains to imaging and LEADTOOLS in particular.

How to Use Blank Page Detection on Scanned Documents
Posted on 2016-10-07 10:52:22 by Greg
Blank page detection is an important step in most document imaging workflows. For example, it can be used to help end-users make sure they have their paper facing the correct way and inform them when they've done something wrong. For a more automated solution, blank pages can be removed to save on disk space and bandwidth.
However, the difficulty with blank page detection is that it can be a bit subjective. Humans can quickly perceive a blank page because we see that the page doesn't have any text on it. But what does a computer do with a text-less page with lines, noise, borders and the like?
Using TwainSession.SaveTemplate to Save a Subset of Settings
Posted on 2016-10-07 10:51:41 by Greg
Saving the settings of your TWAIN device is a very important feature which is fully supported by LEADTOOLS. For the end-user, it allows them to load and save different scanning profiles and options they use on a regular basis such as "high resolution color photo", "medium quality black and white document", or "auto-cropped receipt". One caveat to this feature is that it saves all of the settings, which comes with a few downsides:
- Large template files
- Longer execution time
- Most importantly...That template file will only work on one scanner
To alleviate these problems, LEADTOOLS now has a new overload for its TwainSession.SaveTemplateFile
function which allows you to save a subset of settings rather than the entire collection. As long as you are saving core, mandatory settings that are supported by all TWAIN scanners, you can use these templates regardless of the hardware device being used!
Cleaning Up Color Images with LEADTOOLS Document Imaging
Posted on 2016-10-07 10:49:40 by Greg
One of the most foundational features in document imaging is image cleanup (also called preprocessing). When paper documents are scanned to digital form there are almost always imperfections. The paper can be at an angle, hole punches leave large black dots, folded paper introduces lines, and at the very least dust speckles litter small, dark dots throughout the image. All of these can have an adverse trickle-down effect on many other algorithms such as OCR, Forms, Barcode, Compression and more.
There is one caveat with most document imaging libraries: the document images must be black and white. While technically true for LEADTOOLS as well, it's not a limitation whatsoever. Each of the LEADTOOLS document cleanup functions return information on what it has done. For example, you can get the deskew angle, rectangle to crop, or region to fill and then apply those same operations on a color image:
