RakeRemoveCommand Class

Summary

Removes isolated Data Rakes in 1-bit black and white images.

Syntax

C++

public class RakeRemoveCommand : RasterCommand

Public Class RakeRemoveCommand  
   Inherits Leadtools.Imageprocessing.Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand 
   Implements Leadtools.Imageprocessing.Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

public ref class RakeRemoveCommand : public Leadtools.Imageprocessing.Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand, Leadtools.Imageprocessing.Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

Remarks

Removes data entry rakes from scanned text documents. If the lines pass through text, the RakeRemoveCommand properties and Constructor parameters can be configured to remove or preserve the text. The behavior of this command can be further modified by using an Event Handler that handles the RakeRemoveCommandEventArgs.
This command works only on 1-bit black and white images.
If a region is selected, only the selected region will be changed by this command. If no region is selected, the whole image will be processed.
This command does not support signed data images.
This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.

For more information, refer to Cleaning Up 1-Bit Images.

Example

Runs the RakeRemoveCommand on an image.

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Core; 
 
public void RakeRemoveCommandExample() 
{ 
   // Load an image 
   RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
   codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = true; 
 
   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, @"Forms\Forms to be Recognized\OCR\FCC-107_OCR_Filled.tif")); 
 
   // Prepare the command 
   RakeRemoveCommand command = new RakeRemoveCommand(); 
   command.RakeRemove += new EventHandler<RakeRemoveCommandEventArgs>(RakeRemoveEvent_S1); 
   command.MinLength = 50; 
   command.MinWallHeight = 10; 
   command.MaxWidth = 3; 
   command.MaxWallPercent = 25; 
   command.MaxSideteethLength = 60; 
   command.MaxMidteethLength = 50; 
   command.Gaps = 1; 
   command.Variance = 1; 
   command.TeethSpacing = 5; 
   command.AutoFilter = false; 
 
   command.Run(image); 
 
} 
 
private void RakeRemoveEvent_S1(object sender, RakeRemoveCommandEventArgs e)

   e.Status = RemoveStatus.Remove;
