Getting Started

Scan-N-Clean has been designed to enhance black and white images created by  a scanner or facsimile.  Images from these sources machines may have unwanted speckles, lines, and fuzz on characters which were not part of the original image.

Besides not looking good, these additions effect the ability to recognize characters with optical character recognition software.  Additionally, a "dirty" image, when compressed, is much larger than a "clean" image.  Cleaned images take up less space to store;  less time to transmit over fax lines;  and more closely resemble the original.

Scan-N-Clean is an image utility for automatically or semi-automatically cleaning your images.  Several image tools are provided to accomplish this.  Automatic cleaning can be done using the Auto-Despeckle or the Auto-Lint tools.  The AutoLint tool can be preset in the Preferences to remove black, white, or both lines and speckles.

DESPECKLE

 Speckles (black, white, or both) can also be semi-automatically removed with the Despeckle tool.  This is an example of a before and after despeckling.

REMOVE LINT

  The semi-automatic  Remove Lint tool is really three tools in one.  It removes speckles, fine lines, and smooths the edges of objects.  Here is an example of a before and after removing lint.

You can use Scan-N-Clean to enhance all or part of your image.  See Cleaning an Image for more information.


Cleaning Images
Cleaning an Image

First look at the image and decide on what you would like to keep and what you want to get rid of.  The cleaning filters provided will allow you to remove unwanted speckles and lint automatically or semi-automatically.  You may use a filter just once or use different filters in a sequence to get the cleanest image.  The Pixel Edit function is also available to manually clean a portion of the image at a time.

To Automatically Clean a portion or all of an image:

1.	Select the entire or portion of image you want to clean.

2.	Choose Auto-Despeckle or Auto-Lint from the Clean menu.

To Semi-Automatically Clean a portion or all of an image:

1.	Select the entire or portion of image you want to clean.

2.	Choose Despeckle or Remove Lint from the Clean menu.

The cleaned image is a cleaned copy of your original.  Your original image is not changed.  You may save the new image under a new name.  If you wish to replace the original then use the original name when saving.

Semi-Automatic Helpful Hints:

To:	Use Filter & Settings:

Preserve light text	Remove Lint, White, Fine

Preserve medium text	Remove Lint, Black, Fine

Despeckle, Black

Preserve dark text	Despeckle, Black

Remove Lint, Black, Fine

Remove Lint, White, Fine


Despeckling an Image

The Despeckle cleaning filter will remove just the black or white speckles or dots in your image.  You have the option to select the size and color of the speckles to be removed.

To Despeckle a portion or all of an image:

1.	Select the entire or portion of image you want to clean.

2.	Choose Despeckle from the Clean menu.

3.	Select White, Black, or both.

4.	Select the range of speckles to remove.

5.	Press the "OK" pushbutton.

The cleaned image is a cleaned copy of your original.  Your original image is not changed.  You may save the new image under a new name.  If you wish to replace the original then use the original name when saving.

Helpful Hint:

First look at the image you are trying to clean and decide on what you would like to keep.

 To remove the small black speckles select "Black", "Less Than", and enter a small number (1 to 5) in the size box.  Set the size to a larger number to remove larger speckles.

 To remove large black blobs select "Black", "More Than" and enter a large number  in the size box.  Set the size to a smaller number to remove smaller speckles.

 To keep text when the image has small and very large black speckles select "Black", and "Outside of".  Set the speckle minimum and maximum sizes to keep the text and remove the unwanted speckles.

You may change the Despeckle settings and repeat the cleaning process.


Removing Lint from an Image

The Remove Lint cleaning filter will remove lint or fine scratch lines and the black or white speckles or dots in your image.  You have the option to select the size and color of the lint and speckles to be removed.

To Remove Lint from a portion or all of an image:

1.	Select the entire or portion of image you want to clean.

2.	Choose Remove Lint from the Clean menu.

3.	Select White, Black, or both.

4.	Select a Fine, Medium, or Coarse filter.

5.	Press the "OK" pushbutton.

The cleaned image is a cleaned copy of your original.  Your original image is not changed.  You may save the new image under a new name.  If you wish to replace the original then use the original name when saving.

Semi-Automatic Helpful Hint:

First look at the image you are trying to clean and decide on what you would like to keep.  The "Fine" filter size is probably the best to start with.  The "Fine" filter cleans the "hair" while still preserving most of the original image.  The "Medium" and "Coarse" filters clean bigger lines and speckles while tending to smooth the larger image objects.

 To remove the fine black lint and speckles choose "Black" and "Fine"

 To remove the fine white lint and speckles choose "White" and "Fine"

You may change the Remove Lint settings and repeat the cleaning process.


Preparing an Image for OCR

Optical character recognition (OCR) depends on having crisp, clean characters of a reasonable size for accurate and fast recognition.

If an image has a lot of black speckles the OCR software will usually take a lot of time trying to determine if the speckle is a character.

If the characters have "fuzz" on them or are not solid black the OCR software has trouble understanding which character it is.

You can improve the accuracy and reduce the recognition time by pre-cleaning the image.  Here are some suggestions to clean your image given certain image types:

BLACK SPECKLES

1.	Select the entire or portion of image you want to clean.

2.	Choose Auto-Despeckle from the Clean menu.

FUZZY CHARACTERS

1.	Select the entire or portion of image you want to clean.

2.	Choose Auto-Lint from the Clean menu.

LIGHT CHARACTERS

1.	Select the entire or portion of image you want to clean.

2.	Choose Remove Lint from the Clean menu.

3.	Select White.

4.	Select the Fine filter.

5.	Press the "OK" pushbutton.
