The Deskew feature can calculate and correct skew angles up to 12 degrees. Correcting the skew can be useful for making the image more readable and for improving post processing operations such as barcode recognition or OCR.
For best results, follow these guidelines:
-
Correcting heavily skewed images can affect performance.
-
Additional memory on your Kofax accelerator may improve performance. For more information about memory recommendations, see the Kofax Configuration and Ordering Guide.
-
The skew calculation requires a source image that has a horizontal and vertical flow, such as text or lines. A skew calculation for an image that consists mostly of lines with no horizontal or vertical flow, such as a picture, can return an invalid skew angle.
-
Both skew detection and skew correction must be enabled for images to be deskewed.
-
From the Configure Scanner Settings | Kofax Options tab, click Deskew. The Deskew Properties window appears.
