Case Studies

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Software

• Objective− Development of OCR software which would include support for Eastern languages.− Objective of the software was to scan and/or display scanned images in standard image

formats perform character recognition.− Support manipulation of recognized data and save data according to the user’s

requirement. • Solution Developed

− Image display and editing features: rotation, cut/copy/paste.− Auto and manual marking of layouts.− Display OCR result in Text mode, with text-editing features. The text mode display

could be viewed as draft text or with layout.− Scanned image and OCR text results could be saved as BMP, TIF, SFD, PCX, GIF, JPG.− Save OCR result displayed on text pane in - TXT, RTF, HTML, MS-Word, MS-Excel and

Ichitaro formats, along with proprietary formats such as OKQ and OKT.− Support data transfer to WORD, EXCEL, MIFES, ICHITARO and WORLDNET using

DDE/OLE automation.− Provide scanner interface, printing and print preview options.− Support image Preview of all documents opened.− Pre-processing phase cleanses noise that may exist on the scanned image.


• Solution Integrated − Spell-check the text generated post recognition phase to identify misspelled words, which

could be due to mis-recognition or a genuine error in the original document.− Integrated FineReader OCR Engine from ABBYY for English characters, and Sumitomo

developed engine for Japanese characters.

• Benefit to customer: − Development time was reduced as Integra had sound exposure to OCR/ICR technologies − Customer achieved cost saving as Integra’s imaging API “IDEA” was bundled along − The product went to become a successful OCR solution in APAC region

• Technologies− MS Windows− C/C++, Win32, VC++/MFC

ScanFlo Microfilm Scanner Software

• Objective− The project involved development of software for microfilm scanning. − Software that drives Microfilm scanner system to scan microfilms and perform image

processing and digitize the image. − System consisted of base scanner integrated into a PC and a microfilm module which

could be Aperture Card module, Microfiche module, or Roll Film module.

• Solution− Enhanced GUI - an intuitive graphical user interface giving “point and click” control to

simplify scanner & image processing settings.− Support for image edge detection, contrast levels, gamma correction, IDC (Image

Density Compensation for the enhancement of bi-tonal image), scaling, cropping and deskew, and spatial filtering with convolution filters 3x3, 5x5, and 7x7.

− Problems such as poor contrast, fuzzy images, thin images, noisy images, dark images, and background noise could be processed easily.

− Support for BMP, CALS, GIF, TIFF (Bi-tonal, Uncompressed, Group3 and Group4 CCIT formats), JPEG, PCX, DCX, and PDF file formats to store the scanned images.

− Detection of blips in the image to index the pages.− ScanFlo could detect and locate individual frames within the microfilm.


• Solution− Supports instant visual feedback (WYSWYG- What you see is what you get) based on

parameter settings which ensures proper framing and eliminates expensive re-scanning of poor quality film.

− ScanFlo scanner software could be set up to perform many steps during the conversion process without operator involvement.

− Part of the solution development involved rewriting/modifying Windows driver to control lamp and motor movements of the module, image capture layer with PC2CamLink interface connecting CCD camera board, image processing operations for bi-tonal, 4 bit, 8 bit and 12 bit images, and enhancements to the GUI interfaces.

• Benefits for the customer: − Customer was able to successfully outsource complete product development activity − Integra was able to over come technological challenges related to high speed scanning

and customer became a leader in the segment − Variants of the product helped the customer address different market segments

• Technologies − MS-Windows− C/C++, Win32, DDK, VC++/MFC
