Intelligent QC window

Selecting the Intelligent QC icon in the Edit toolbar, will launch the Intelligent QC Tool. All selected images will be available for review and processing. If no images have been selected, all flagged images will be available. The Intelligent QC tool may also be launched by right clicking on an image in the Image Viewer or Batch Explorer and selecting Intelligent QC in the selection list.

The Intelligent QC tool is not available while scanning, rescanning or when Auto Import is actively monitoring the Hot Folder for image files.

When entering the tool, the first image will be shown in the left image panel. The left image panel will display the image as it would look if no additional image processing is applied.

The right image panel will show how the image would look if the selected image processing is applied.

You may edit the image by clicking on one or more of the image processing tools located between the image panels. To undo a particular image processing function, click on the tool again to deselect it.

Some image processing tools provide additional controls to adjust the appearance of the image. For example, the Binarize tool provides a Contrast control. Adjusting the contrast will allow you to see very light text while keeping background noise to accepted levels.

	Auto orientation - orients the image to right-reading.
	Binarize -converts color or grayscale image to black and white. Your scanner must be setup to scan color or grayscale. When the image is converted to black and white, it will be checked for noise. If excessive noise is detected, the image will be adjusted to enhance the desired content.
	Hole Fill - fills round or rectangular holes found near the edge of the page.
	Auto Crop - crops the scanned image to remove the background border that may appear at the end of the image. It is recommended that you use the Auto crop feature of your scanner if available. There is no configuration required.
	Deskew - corrects minor rotation or skew of an image. When selected, Auto crop will be automatically selected. There is no configuration required.
	Magnify - magnifies a selected portion of the image.
	Zoom in - enlarges the image.
	Zoom out - reduces the image.

 

Image Location - displays the document number, page and image within the scanned batch.

Image Adjustments

If the Apply to Next checkbox is checked, the selected image processing tools will be applied to the next image. The image before processing will be shown in the Original image panel and the processed image will be shown in the Processed image panel.  

Back - displays the previously displayed image. All tool selections will be disabled and the Apply to Next checkbox is unchecked. The image will be shown as it was when the Next button was selected.
