Software Tools for Faster, More Effective Indexing from Colour Document Images.Business & Technology Editors CeBIT 2000 HANOVER, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2000 CEBIT Show, Hall 1 - Booth 7N7 Dunord Technologies announced the availability of a new software product designed to utilize color in Verb 1. color in - add color to; "The child colored the drawings"; "Fall colored the trees"; "colorize black and white film" color, colorise, colorize, colour in, colourise, colourize, colour order to automatically index or gather information from business documents in colour based document management systems. Colindex locates and extracts zoned fields that are marked in colour, printed in a different colour or highlighted with a highlighter high·light·er n. 1. A usually fluorescent marker used to mark important passages of text. 2. A cosmetic for emphasizing areas of the face, such as the eyes or cheekbones. . It then removes the highlighted area or converts the colour and passes the black and white bitmapped image See bitmapped graphics. to the calling program, where it can be collected to produce a synopsis or be recognized for automated indexing. The software, named Colindex, supports up to seven different colours to enable multi-level indexes or information to be identified. Colindex is the second software product developed by Dunord to utilize colour based images more effectively. The first, Colerase, allows forms processing vendors to remove any colour background eliminating the need for dropout (1) On magnetic media, a bit that has lost its strength due to a surface defect or recording malfunction. If the bit is in an audio or video file, it might be detected by the error correction circuitry and either corrected or not, but if not, it is often not noticed by the human lamps or forms redesign. Serge Moisan -- President of Dunord said "we have built a strong capability in the management of colour, grayscale In computing, a grayscale or greyscale digital image is an image in which the value of each pixel is a single sample. Displayed images of this sort are typically composed of shades of gray, varying from black at the weakest intensity to white at the strongest, though in and black-and-white image. While Colindex and Colerase can be used in conjunction in applications that use our high speed scanner interface boards, Colindex and Colerase are the first software tools we have released that do not have any hardware dependency. Colindex allows users to work in the way they are accustomed. For example a paralegal paralegal n. a non-lawyer who performs routine tasks requiring some knowledge of the law and procedures, employed by a law office or who works free-lance as an independent for various lawyers. or attorney in a law firm working on legal transcripts may highlight or circle key fields or sentences with a specific color. Colindex can then automatically extract these fields, which can be passed under programmatic control to create synopses of the case and/or to 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. to make automatic indexes without manual typing." Colindex is available as an API for all Windows platforms. Reseller licensing starts at US$595. DUNORD Technologies, Inc. specializes in high performance scanner interface boards and is a leader in grayscale and color software development tools for document imaging.
