  • Systems and methods for verifying scanning mode selection
    Patent number: 7436555
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a method for verifying a scan mode selection utilized for a scanned image. The method comprises comparing the scanned image to scan samples stored in memory, determining a scan state from a scan sample that most closely corresponds to the scanned image, determining whether the scan mode selection is consistent with the determined scan state, and providing an indication that the scan mode selection is not consistent with the determined scan state.

  • System and method for automatic descreening of digital images
    Patent number: 7148998
    Abstract: A system and method for automatic descreening of a digital image is disclosed. The method comprises automatically detecting, prior to a final scan of the document, the presence of a predefined visual artifact in a sample region of an image of the document being scanned; performing the final scan of the document to obtain the digital image; and automatically descreening the digital image to obtain a final digital image of the document in response to the automatic detection of the predefined visual artifact.
