Read the first 7 Document Imaging Systems & Technologies flashcards as text

  1. Which scanner specification most directly determines the ability to capture fine text details in scanned documents?

    Answer: Optical resolution (dots per inch)

    Optical resolution, measured in dots per inch (DPI), determines how finely a scanner can capture detail, directly affecting the legibility of small text.

  2. In a document imaging system, what is the primary purpose of an image enhancement step during capture?

    Answer: To correct skew, remove speckles, and improve legibility

    Image enhancement during capture corrects common scanning artifacts like skew, noise, and poor contrast to improve downstream OCR accuracy and readability.

  3. A company needs to scan documents at 300 DPI in grayscale. Compared to 300 DPI bitonal (black-and-white), the grayscale files will be approximately how much larger?

    Answer: 8 times larger

    Bitonal images use 1 bit per pixel, while grayscale uses 8 bits per pixel, making uncompressed grayscale files approximately 8 times larger at the same resolution.

  4. Which technology enables a scanner to automatically detect whether a page is color, grayscale, or black-and-white and adjust settings accordingly?

    Answer: Automatic color detection (ACD)

    Automatic color detection analyzes each scanned page and applies the appropriate color mode, optimizing file size and quality without manual intervention.

  5. What does the term 'duplex scanning' refer to in document imaging?

    Answer: Scanning both sides of a page in a single pass

    Duplex scanning captures both the front and back of a page simultaneously or in rapid succession, improving throughput for two-sided documents.

  6. In the context of document imaging, what is 'blank page detection' primarily used for?

    Answer: Automatically removing empty pages from duplex scans

    Blank page detection automatically identifies and removes empty pages that result from duplex scanning of one-sided documents, reducing unnecessary storage.

  7. Which file format is specifically designed to store multiple pages of a scanned document in a single file while supporting lossless compression?

    Answer: TIFF

    TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) supports multi-page documents and lossless compression options like LZW and CCITT Group 4, making it a standard for archival document imaging.
