InvertedPageCommand Class

Summary

Checks and auto-corrects an inverted image.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++

Java

public class InvertedPageCommand : RasterCommand

Public Class InvertedPageCommand  
   Inherits RasterCommand

@interface LTInvertedPageCommand : LTRasterCommand

public class InvertedPageCommand extends RasterCommand

public ref class InvertedPageCommand : public RasterCommand

Remarks

This command is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits.

An inverted RasterImage is an image that has text or other objects in high contrast color on a low contrast background (for example, white text on black background). This command can determine whether an image is inverted and correct it automatically.

This command can only detect an entire image. To search for and correct specific inverted areas or regions in an image, use the InvertedTextCommand.

A common source of inverted images are black and white images saved with a non-standard palette by some applications.

This command does not support signed data images.

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

Example

This example will show how to use the InvertedPageCommand class to check and auto-correct inverted images.

   string invertedImageFileName = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "ocr1_Inverted.tif"); 
   string nonInvertedImageFileName = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "ocr1_NonInverted.tif"); 
 
   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(tifFileName); 
 
   // The images should be non-inverted at the beginning, check 
   InvertedPageCommand invertedPage = new InvertedPageCommand(InvertedPageCommandFlags.NoProcess); 
   invertedPage.Run(image); 
   Console.WriteLine("Original image, inverted = {0}", invertedPage.IsInverted); 
 
   // Invert the image 
   InvertCommand invert = new InvertCommand(); 
   invert.Run(image);

   // Check again 
   invertedPage.Run(image); 
   Console.WriteLine("After running InvertCommand, inverted = {0}", invertedPage.IsInverted); 
 
   // Now run the command to un-invert the image
