2、imited to) the active feature set, the version of the API definition supported, and the identification of the driver (name and level). This command includes the ability to retrieve and set both default and current scanner settings. A private field of undefined size is required to accommodate vendorl
3、application specific functionaiity. A querylset parameter pool-size is required so that the appiicatiodimage system can correctly aliocate memory. In addition, the API is required to query the valid values of a parameter. The values can either be a numeric range (low, high, step) or a list of values
4、. 4.13 Profile maintenance The imaging system will allow the user to set up profiles for scanners when establishing the system as well as during a scan process. When the user wants to specify parameter values for a scanner profile, the imaging system wiil notify the device driver, then open a dialog
5、 with the user, and return the results to the imaging system. When establishing the system for a scanning session, the user wiil select a pre-stored profile (owned by the imaging system) that specifies ail parameter values. During a scan operation there will always be a dialog between the imaging sy
6、stem and the user in which the user can request a change of parameter values that will trigger a request to the device driver to open a diaiog with the user. This is a defnition of the querylset functions associated with the scanner API. The data associated with these functions must be passed in a d
7、ata stream to ensure compatibility when the device driver and the API are at different levels. The new fields added in a subsequent level must be added at the end of the data stream; new values for an existing field must be resolved by the initial handshaking where the level of the driver is determi
8、ned. 43 optional functions The following optional functions can be features of the actual hardware, or features of the driver software that emulates the hardware. For example, compression can be a hardware feature or a software routine - the calling system does not know the difference. 4.2.1 Image e
9、nhancement functions 4.2.1.1 Brightness Adjust the scanner brightness control. 4.2.1.2 Contrast Adjust the scanner contrast control. 4.2.13 Dithering and halftone Group pixels in pre- defined units such that a wider tonal range can be simulated by a limited number of tones. Most commonly, this featu
10、re is used to simulate gray-scale when performing a bitonal (black and white) scan. 4.2.1.4 Gamma curve selection Select and download specific Gamma Curves used in image enhancement algorithms. 4.2.1.5 Gray-scale to bitonal thresholding Adjust the sensitivity setting of the scanner and control how a
11、 bitonal image is created from a gray-scale scan. 4.2.1.6 Speckle removal Remove random particles, speckles, and other noise from an image. 4.2.1.7 Background suppression Automatically detect, monitor, and remove background levels from image. 4.2.1.8 Sensitivity level Adjust sensitivity levels used
12、in automatic thresholding. 4.2.1.9 Text-photo mode Automatically detect and enhance image corrections for pages with text and photo content. 4.2.2 Image processing functions 433.1 Bar-de detection and reading Interpret the bar- code(s) on scanned page and retuni the information to the calling system
13、. 4.2.2.2 Border detection and page size determination Detect the border of a page that is smailer than the designated scan area and return an image that has the same size as the physical input page. 43.2.3 Compression Use algorithmic techniques to reduce the image file size. Examples of these techn
14、iques would be Group 3 for example, to correct for variance in form position due to feeder or placement inaccuracies. 4.2.2.9 Resolution Scan at various resolutions (pixels per unit). 4.2.2.10 scaling Adjust the physical size of the image to fit a bigger or smaller rectangular area. 4.2.2.11 Skew de
15、tection and correction Detect that a sheet has rotated during the feed process and the resulting page image data are skewed and (optional) correct the image for skew. 4.2.3 Scan functions 4.2.3.1 Duplex scanning Scan both sides of a sheet in one pass. 4.232 Streaming device control Enablddisable a s
16、treaming device (such as a tape Wnter, CD writer, etc.). 4.2.4 Scan inpu/output functions 4.2.4.1 Feeder control Control the scanner feed mechanism (e.g., feed a page from the input hopper through the scanner). 4.2.4.2 Format controls Control format of the image file produced from the scanning proce
17、ss. At a minimum this would include specification of byte-ordering and line- ordering. 4.2.43 Multiple-mode scan Scan bitonal and gray-scale in one scan pass. 4.2.4.4 Stacker selection and sorting Cause the sheet to move to a specific stacker on a scanner with multiple stackers. This could be caused
18、 by processing function such as counters, forms recognition, bar-code, and patch-code. 4.2.5 Miscellaneous functions 4.2.5.1 Endorsement (electronic and physical) Add an endorsement to the page and/or the page image. Although many devices do not directly support endorsement incrementation, some driv
19、ers implement this automatic increment feature. 43.53 Multiple buffering support Manage more than one data area used to receive the images from the scanner. The calling system owns any buffers it uses to transfer the image or coded data. 4.2.53 Operator display Send visuai messages to the operator o
20、n a scanners display device. 4.2.5.4 Operator signais Detect operator signais; for example, activation of a foot pedal or console key. 5 API syntactical structure The API syntax is a function call with a parameter list. All data storage areas are under control of the imaging system that is calling t
21、he device driver. This structure allows the API to be extensible to accommodate features, operations, and formats not yet in existence. By using this syntactical model, the API can grow in a straightforward and compatible way - implementation of new features by developers does not require a new vers
22、ion of this specification. All strings can be stored in system resources (regardless of the host operating system) allowing customization and harmonization with international standards and techniques without a need to modify source code. Furthermore, while the API does provide the valid parameter va
23、lues it does not assume that a particular set of values is legal in all circumstances. Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the system and where the functions represented by this API definition fit. 5 Association for Information and Image Management International STD*AIIM MSb2-ENGL 199b 2022348 05023
