Abstract
A system and method for reading into memory a plurality of scanned image files, obtaining a set of parameters describing the extent to which each scanned image file deviates from a theoretical image file, wherein the set of parameters includes at least one of a horizontal offset, a vertical offset, a horizontal stretch, a vertical stretch, or skew, manipulating a first scanned image file from the plurality according to the set of parameters for the scanned image file, reading into memory a manipulation control, conditionally manipulating a second scanned image file from the plurality based on a value of the manipulation control, and saving at least one manipulated image.
Claims24
1) A method of imaging a document, comprising:
- reading into memory a plurality of scanned image files;
- obtaining deviation parameters describing the extent to which each scanned image file deviates from an idealized captured image;
- manipulating one or more of the image files according to the deviation parameters to generate a manipulated image file;
- and
- saving each manipulated image file generated.
13) A system for correcting an image file, comprising:
- a processor;
- a computer readable storage medium coupled to the processor;
- instructions stored on the medium, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- read into memory a plurality of scanned image files from the storage medium;
- obtain deviation parameters describing the extent to which each scanned image file deviates from an idealized captured image;
- manipulate one or more of the image files according to the deviation parameters to generate a manipulated image file;
- and
- save each manipulated image file generated to the storage medium.
