Kofax Ships 150,000th Image Processing Board.Business Editors & Technology Writers AIIM (Association for Information and Image Management International, Silver Spring, MD, www.aiim.org) A membership organization founded in 1943 devoted to creating industry standards and disseminating information about the document management industry. 2002 SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 5, 2002 Kofax today announced the company has shipped its 150,000th image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished board. This marks a major company sales milestone for Kofax, which developed its first scanner board in 1986 upon founding of the company. The Kofax family of image processing boards includes the VirtualReScan (VRS (Video Relay Service) A communications service for the hearing or speech impaired. A VRS is the video counterpart of a TTY relay service, in which the user types on a terminal, and the relay operator speaks the messages to the recipient (see TDD/TTY). ) and Adrenaline brands, which are designed to simplify the scanning process, increase image capture performance and improve the quality of document images produced by production scanners. These image processing engines have been Kofax-certified for virtually all of the industry's leading production-level scanners. "The company's goal has always been to provide the market with the most powerful, certified, easy-to-install and best-supported image processing boards," said Rick Murphy, senior vice president and general manager for the Kofax Image Processing Business Unit. "The market tells us we have succeeded. Our board sales have grown steadily since their introduction and continue to grow today. This achievement also demonstrates the continuing strength of this entire market segment." Adrenaline is the company's family of high-speed image processing accelerator engines. It offers color image processing and advanced bar code recognition at the full rated speeds of the fastest production scanners available. Adrenaline reduces costs, accelerates indexing, improves forms recognition and speeds workflow. The engines offer advanced image processing features such as deskew, bar code recognition, patch code recognition, and provide a variety of image enhancement See image editing. filters without any modification to applications developed with the Kofax ImageControls toolkit. Adrenaline engines significantly improve the quality, readability and OCR OCR in full optical character recognition Scanning and comparison technique intended to identify printed text or numerical data. It avoids the need to retype already printed material for data entry. accuracy of scanned images and support production scanners from vendors such as Bell & Howell, Canon, Fujitsu, Kodak, Ricoh and Panasonic. VRS is a robust, automated document image-perfecting solution. VRS enables users to achieve high levels of accuracy in data captured from scanned documents by greatly reducing the need for manual corrections of ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition or Image Character Recognition) The machine recognition of hand-printed characters as well as machine printing that is difficult to recognize. and OCR results. With VRS, users can load any combination of document types and sizes into the scanner and simply press the scan button. VRS will automatically deskew, crop and optimize exposure in real time. The result is a much lower cost of operation thanks to increased recognition accuracy, fewer rescans, easier-to-read images, and a significant reduction in the manual labor required to sort documents and adjust scanner settings. VRS supports personal and professional scanners from Canon, Bell & Howell, Epson, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Kodak, Panasonic and Ricoh. A high-speed version is available for production-class document scanners from Bell & Howell, Fujitsu and Ricoh.
