pageType
The page type to get.

The GetRasterImage(OcrPageType) Method is available as an add-on to the LEADTOOLS Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.

pageType
The page type to get.
Gets the current or processing image data of this page as a raster image.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Overloads Function GetRasterImage( _
   ByVal pageType As OcrPageType _
) As RasterImage
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As IOcrPage
Dim pageType As OcrPageType
Dim value As RasterImage
 
value = instance.GetRasterImage(pageType)
C# 
RasterImage GetRasterImage( 
   OcrPageType pageType
)
C++/CLI 
RasterImage^ GetRasterImage( 
   OcrPageType pageType
) 

Parameters

pageType
The page type to get.

Return Value

A Leadtools.RasterImage object that represent the current or processing image data of this page.

Example

For an example, refer to OcrPageType.

Remarks

Each IOcrPage contains two versions of the image used to create it: an original (current) and an optional processing version. The processing version usually black/white and has uniform resolution (if the original image is FAX for example) and it gets passed to the internal OCR engine during the zoning and recognition process. The AutoPreprocess method also uses the B/W image to determine if the page is inverted, skewed or has an orientation; however, it applies the correction to both the current and processing images.

You can use GetRasterImage(OcrPageType) to get a copy of either of these images.

You cannot set the processing image of a page; it is created automatically by the engine. This is why there is no IOcrPage.SetRasterImage(OcrPageType pageType) method.

If the original image is black and white and has uniform vertical and horizontal resolution, then the engine will not create a processing image, in other words, GetRasterImage(OcrPageType.Current) and GetRasterImage(OcrPageType.Processing) will return identical Leadtools.RasterImage objects.

If the original image has different horizontal and vertical resolution, such as a FAX image, the processing page will be have be resized to have uniform resolution.

The LEADTOOLS C# and VB .NET Main OCR demos (Examples\DotNet\CS\OcrMainDemo and Examples\DotNet\VB\OcrMainDemo) have an option in the page menu to toggle between showing the current (default) or processing image of each page.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2008 family, Windows Vista, Windows 7
