Recogniform Image Processor is developed by Recogniform Technologies SpA, a R&D company based in Italy specialized in data-capture and image-processing software development since 2001. For more info visit the “About” page.

The current release is Recogniform Image Processor 10.0, released on April 2020.

Recogniform Image Processor 11 is expected to be released on the beginning of 2021. Meanwhile minor release will be deployed.

Recogniform Image Processor runs on Windows OS, from Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 on.

Yes, of course.

Recogniform Image Processor supports  TIF JPG PNG GIF BMP PDF formats.

Yes: just flag the Rasterize option in the Main Settings panel. PDF text will be seen as a PDF image.

Yes, once you install the software you’ll get software manual in PDF, as well an exaustive scripting reference manual. Each function is accurately described and followed by an example.

No. But depending on complexity of operations you need to do, you may need some basic programming knowledge. Most of our customers do not have programming skills; at the same time, many of our customers use Recogniform Image Processor as a true image-processing software development platform.

Set the number of concurrent agents in the Main Settings panel.

NO. Software works with Windows OS only.

Image compression may be lossy or lossless. Lossless compression is preferred for archival purposes and often for medical imaging, technical drawings, clip art, or comics. Usually, b/w images are saved with G4 lossless compression; color images are saved with LZW lossless compression. Lossy compression methods, especially when used at low bit rates, introduce compression artifacts. Lossy methods are especially suitable for natural images such as photographs in applications where minor (sometimes imperceptible) loss of fidelity is acceptable to achieve a substantial reduction in bit rate. Typically these kind of images are saved with JPG compression.

Default Q Factor value is 80, that’s quite high quality image (low compression). To get smaller files you can decrease the Qfactor until you get an accettable image quality.

Anti-alasing is a technique that reduces the appearance of jagged edges in digital images caused by high-contrast borders between pixels. (Font: Wikipedia)

Yes. Just make a copy of the original image and apply specific functions to each copy. Once you duplicate an image, remember to deallocate it from memory. Example:

Image1:=ImgDuplicate(_Currentimage);

Image2:=ImgDuplicate(_Currentimage);

Image3:=ImgDuplicate(_Currentimage);

// execute operations on Image1 (threshold#1, scale 90%, etc.)

// saving Image1 in format “x”

ImgDestroy(Image1);

// saving Image2 in format “y”

ImgDestroy(Image2);

…and so on…

YES, many of our customers use Recogniform Image Processor to optimize old newspapers images with excellent results!

Yes, of course! We suggest you to re-name each saved image with the thresholding algorithm and parameters used for that image.

Yes, of course! Just import the multi-page file, disable output in Main Settings panel and, in the scripting section, type as follows:

imgSave(_currentimage,’outputfolderfilename’ +’_’+ IntToStr(_CurrentPage)+’.tif’;

This will allow you to save new files image_0.tif; image_1.tif; image_2.tif etc.

Computation time depends from image size and resolution, but also from the complexity of operations performed. Using polynomial filter on a image may take some time, especially with bigger images.

Processing operations request CPU effort, therefore higher clock frequency leads to faster processing. But if you need to process big 24-bit images, for example, you require enough RAM since images are uncompressed internally during processing.

You can use advanced black border removal features to process microfilm images, solving typical issues with partially framed documents on the image.

Yes, you can contact us through the contact form. We’ll do our best to give you a response asap.

Yes, you can find more info and examples in the Scripting Reference. See function named ImgRemovePunchHoles.

Yes, please refer to ImgWatermark function in the Scripting Manual.

Yes, please refer to ImgDrawText function in the Scripting Manual.

Yes, of course. We supply custom scripting configuration services. Please contact us and share details and samples in order to send you a quotation.

No. Update is available from previous version only.

There are 2 ways to activate and use the software: “virtual key” and “USB dongle”

Virtual key is a configuration file you’ll receive as you purchase the software: software will require internet connection during usage, since it randomly checks license validity sending an istance to our datacenter. No images or scripts are transferred over the network, of course.

USB dongle is a physical USB dongle. It will be sent to you via express courier as we receive the payment. With USB dongle protection, no internet connection is required.

Recogniform Dual Image Viewer is included in Recogniform Image Processor.

SDK requires a 1to1 file processing; therefore no multi-agent technology is allowed.

Yes, of course.
