Members

Value	Member	Description
0	Current	The current image, this is a clone of the original image and has the same properties as the original image used to create the page.
1	Processing	The processing image is created internally by the OCR engine and is passed to the zoning and recognition routines. This image is always black/white with uniform resolution.
2	Original	The original image reference. This image is used by the OCR engine internally and should not be disposed. The original image is not null when this page is created by adding an image from a file, URL or stream or when the value of the "Recognition.ShareOriginalImage" setting is true. Otherwise, the engine will return a null reference for this value.

Remarks

Each IOcrPage contains two versions of the image used to create it: the current and an optional processing version. The processing version usually black/white and has uniform resolution (if the original image is FAX for example) and it gets passed to the internal OCR engine during the zoning and recognition process. The AutoPreprocess method also uses the B/W image to determine if the page is inverted, skewed or has an orientation; however, it applies the correction to both the current and processing images.

You can use IOcrPage.GetRasterImage(ocrpagetype) to get a copy of either of these images.

You cannot set the processing image of a page; it is created automatically by the engine. This is why there is no IOcrPage.SetRasterImage(OcrPageType pageType) method.

If the original image is black and white and has uniform vertical and horizontal resolution, then the engine will not create a processing image, in other words, IOcrPage.GetRasterImage(OcrPageType.Current) and IOcrPage.GetRasterImage(OcrPageType.Processing) will return identical RasterImage objects.

If the original image has different horizontal and vertical resolution, such as a FAX image, the processing page will be have be resized to have uniform resolution.

The LEADTOOLS C# and VB .NET Main OCR demos (Examples\DotNet\CS\OcrMainDemo and Examples\DotNet\VB\OcrMainDemo) have an option in the page menu to toggle between showing the current (default) or processing image of each page.

Example

This example will add a colored 24 bits/pixel image to the OCR engine, then gets the current and processing version of it and show their properties.
