Image enhancement options in Enhance Image action
Improve the quality of an image that you have uploaded in the Enhance Image action by using additional options available.
| Option | Use |
|---|---|
| Grayscale | Convert the color pixels in an image to
grayscale. Recommended: Convert color images to grayscale to improve the OCR extraction accuracy. |
| Blur |
Smoothen out areas that are pixelated and improve image quality. Recommended values: Any odd number (such as 3, 7, and 11), as long as it is less than the pixel size of the uploaded image. |
| Sharpen |
Improve clarity by removing distorted and blurred aspects of the original image. Consider a scenario where you have an image file called ImageA. When you apply Gaussian blur = 5 to this image, a blurred version of this image is created called ImageB. You can then use the following Sharpen parameters:
The following formula is applied for output: Output = ImageA*Alpha + ImageB*Beta + Gamma Where:
Note: The principal use of the preceding
equation is to sharpen an image by removing the blurriness
from the original image.
Recommended values:
|
| Denoise |
Smoothen out pixels that are not grayscale to remove distortion or speckling from the image. Recommended value: 21. However, it can be any odd number as long as it is less than the pixel size of the uploaded image. |
| Contrast |
Increase or decrease the contrast of the pixels. Values can range from 0 (no change) to 2 (maximum contrast). Recommended values: From 0.8 through 2. |
| Brightness | Increase
or decrease the brightness level of all the pixels in the image.
Values can range from -100 (minimum contrast) to 100 (maximum
contrast), with 0 representing no change. Recommended values: From 0 through 100 |
| Thresholding | A form of image segmentation.
Thresholding is an image processing method that creates a
bi-tonal (binary) image by setting a threshold value on the
pixel intensity of the original image. In image processing,
thresholding is typically used to separate objects or foreground
pixels from background.
For example, the following image has been processed using
Thresholding value as 200 and 100 respectively.
Recommended value: From 0 through 255 |
| Remove RGB | Provide upper and lower bound values to pixels in a color image. Pixels in a color image are represented by three primary color channels: red, green, and blue (RGB). The output of this effect is a binary image with pixels that are black (0) or white (255). Consider a scenario where you want to transform high-intensity red pixels in the range of 200 to 255 to white (255). You can set the lower bound for red to (200,0,0) and upper bound to (255,0,0). |
