HolePunchFillingCommand Class
In This Topic
Fills not filled hole punches (fills white circle inside hole punch by black color) on image automatically.
Object Model
Syntax
Remarks
Algorithm of class detects hole punches in 4 regions of source image: 1. Rectangle at the left side of source image: point=(0; 0), width=sourceImageWith*ScanAreaWidth, height=sourceImageHeight.
2. Rectangle at the right side of source image: point=(sourceImageWith-sourceImageWith*ScanAreaWidth; 0), width=sourceImageWith*ScanAreaWidth, height=sourceImageHeight.
3. Rectangle at the top side of source image: point=(0; 0), width=sourceImageWith, height=sourceImageHeight*ScanAreaHeight.
4. Rectangle at the bottom side of source image: point=(0; sourceImageHeight-sourceImageHeight*ScanAreaHeight), width=sourceImageWith, height=sourceImageHeight*ScanAreaHeight.
Here is a "good" sequence of operations for the document image processing:
- Invert an inverted image (AutoInvertCommand)
- Clear a border of an image (BorderClearCommand)
- Remove halftone from an image (HalftoneRemovalCommand)
- Deskew an image (DeskewCommand)
- Fill not filled hole punches from an image (HolePunchFillingCommand)
- Remove hole punches from an image (HolePunchRemovalCommand)
- Remove lines from an image (LineRemovalCommand)
- Invert inverted text regions on an image (AutoTextInvertCommand)
- Despeckle an image (DespeckleCommand)
- Remove border of an image (BorderRemovalCommand)
RegionOfInterest property can be used for specifying the region of interest for this command.
Example
This C#/VB.NET code shows how to load an image of document from disk, prepare the image of document for OCR and save the result to the new image file.
