THE IMAGE SERVER - only included with the EDIM version of the system, provides for template based image processing and enhancement of scanned documents. This component, using processing templates defined by the system administrator, will apply any number of image functions such as Geometric Transformations (i.e. Auto Trim, Deskew, Flip, Resize, Reverse, Rotate, Shear), Brightness/Contrast/Image properties adjustments, Color Correction, Removing Noise, Line Detection, and Artistic Effects. Scanned documents requiring any optimization or enhancements as may be called for in the defined template used when saving into the system are processed by this server component before being passed onto the OCR and Index server as necessary.
