This tool is designed to do most of the work associated with the base Check 21 processing workflow. It can:
-
Accept the front and back of a remittance form.
-
Normalize and clean the image.
-
Automatically locate the check portion and crop it from the larger statement.
The cropped images are compliant for Check 21 processing and meet the “Tough Tiff” standards. The cropped checks are bitonal to conform to the standards.
-
Write an endorsement to the back of the check.
The MICR line is returned and parsed out into four components.
Do not attempt to clean the images before they are used by this tool. This tool performs image cleanup and normalization specific to checks.
This tool has been designed to work with grayscale or color images as the inputs, and will give better results over bitonal images.
If the check cropping and MICR extraction work, the job will exit through the “Pass” connector, if not it will exit through “Fail”.
