You may configure various image processing operations to be performed on documents matched to the Advanced Capture form. Once the documents are matched to a form, the image processing operations are performed in the configured order in an attempt to improve the accuracy of the OCR extracted results. The effects of these image processing operations exist only on the in-memory copies of the images that are used for OCR processing; the effects are not permanently applied to the documents.

To configure image processing operations for documents:

  1. Create the Advanced Capture form as usual.
  2. Once the form has been created, from the Advanced Capture Configuration window, right-click on the document displayed in the Document Viewer. The Modify/Delete Form dialog box is displayed.
  3. Click Modify Form. The Form Definition dialog box is displayed.
    Note:

    The Form Definition dialog box displayed here is slightly different from the dialog box that is displayed when you are creating a new Advanced Capture form.

  4. Click Image Processing Operations. The Form Definition Image Processing dialog box is displayed.
  5. Using the Image Process Type drop-down list, select the type of image processing operation to be performed:

    • Cleanup operations

    • Color removal

    • Line removal

  6. Click Add. A dialog box with options relating to your selection is displayed. For more information on these options, see the following sections.
  7. Once you have named and configured the image processing operation, it is added to the list of operations at the top of the Form Definition Image Processing dialog box.

    • To reorder the listed operations, select the appropriate operation and use the Move Up and Move Down buttons. When processed, the operations will be performed in the order listed here.

      Note:

      A Line removal operation can only be performed on binary images. If you are configuring image processing operations for color or grayscale images, you must order a Color removal operation above any Line removal operations to ensure the images are first converted to binary before attempting to remove lines or combs.

    • To delete an operation from the list, select the operation and click Delete.

  8. If you wish to copy a pre-configured list of image processing operations from another Advanced Capture form and apply it to the current form, use the Copy From Template drop-down list to select the appropriate form and click Copy. If you already added operations to the list for the current form, you will be prompted to confirm the removal of these operations before copying the full list from the other form.
  9. When finished configuring image processing operations, click Save.
