Image and Scanner Interface Specification (ISIS) is an industry standard interface for image scanning technologies, developed by Pixel Translations in 1990 (which became EMC Corporation's Captiva Software and later acquired by OpenText). [1] ISIS is an open standard for scanner control and a complete image-processing framework.
Document imaging is an information technology category for systems capable of replicating documents commonly used in business. Document imaging systems can take many forms including microfilm, on demand printers, facsimile machines, copiers, multifunction printers, document scanners, computer output microfilm (COM) and archive writers.
An image scanner (often abbreviated to just scanner) is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object and converts it to a digital image. The most common type of scanner used in the home and the office is the flatbed scanner , where the document is placed on a glass bed.
Book scanning or book digitization (also: magazine scanning or magazine digitization) is the process of converting physical books and magazines into digital media such as images, electronic text, or electronic books (e-books) by using an image scanner. [1] Large scale book scanning projects have made many books available online. [2]
Video of the process of scanning and real-time optical character recognition (OCR) with a portable scanner. Optical character recognition or optical character reader (OCR) is the electronic or mechanical conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text, whether from a scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene photo (for example the text on signs and ...
A camera raw image file contains unprocessed or minimally processed data from the image sensor of either a digital camera, a motion picture film scanner, or other image scanner. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Raw files are so named because they are not yet processed, and contain large amounts of potentially redundant data.
The term born-digital refers to materials that originate in a digital form. [1] This is in contrast to digital reformatting , through which analog materials become digital , as in the case of files created by scanning physical paper records.
While the result of a scanner capture provides a work of digital art or media art, just as a digital photograph does, further manipulation of the captured image is possible as well. [1] This may be as simple as flattening the background to enhance the "floating" effect provided by the scanner to complete reworking of the image/photograph. [1] [14]
