CDIA Quality Control 3

Question 1

Which standard provides guidance on document image quality metrics including resolution, compression, and file format for archival imaging?

Accepted Answer

ANSI/AIIM MS44

Answer

ANSI/AIIM MS44 establishes recommended practices for image quality, resolution, and file format specifications for document imaging applications.

Question 2

What is the primary purpose of a Quality Control Plan (QCP) in a document imaging project?

Accepted Answer

To document inspection procedures, acceptance criteria, and corrective actions

Answer

A QCP provides a formal framework specifying how quality will be measured, what standards must be met, and what actions to take when defects are found.

Question 3

Which image defect is described as areas of the document appearing washed out or overexposed during scanning?

Accepted Answer

Blowout

Answer

Blowout occurs when scanner brightness is set too high, causing light-colored areas or thin lines to disappear in the captured image.

Question 4

In document imaging QC, what is the role of a 'golden master' or reference image?

Accepted Answer

It serves as the benchmark against which scanned image quality is compared

Answer

A golden master is a known-good reference image used to calibrate scanners and verify that output quality meets specified standards.

Question 5

What does 'bit depth' affect in scanned document images?

Accepted Answer

The number of tonal values available to represent the image

Answer

Bit depth determines how many gray or color levels can be represented; higher bit depth captures more tonal detail but produces larger file sizes.
