  • Document imaging system for autodiscrimination of text and images
    Patent number: 6175425
    Abstract: An apparatus for autodiscrimination of multi-level signal representative of a document having text and image content is described. A content module processes the multi-level signal serially. Portions of the signal corresponding to text and fine line features are processed to enhance contrast. Portions of the signal corresponding to images are processed to enhance image quality. In one embodiment, the content processor includes a digital signal processor and random access memory. The digital signal processor can be programmable, allowing the methods used to process the document data to be adapted to different types of documents. Text orientation in the document is not critical due to the random accessibility of the memory. The invention also relates to a method of processing a document image.
