Removing Extra Stuff from Scanned Page...

Hi All,
I have a scanned page saved as a JPEG file. The page contains handwritten stuff (like text or drawings in black or colored ink). How to remove extra stuff like page shrink marks or background of the paper from the scanned page so that only written or drawn things should be visible ? Usually we do that using package like PhotoShop. Any Idea to achieve that in Java ? (If possible with codes...)
Thanks in Advance...

Hmmm....
If you have lots of free time, you will need to design and create the necessary algorithms... not
easily achieved if you have no previous experience.
The math/processing required is large and complex - you will need to identify per pixel errors and
tolerance , based on the algorithm's output you would then have an include/exclude decision... :)
Good luck....

  • How to remove extra spaces from Data Matrix Label?

    Hi All,
    Kindly let me know how we can remove extra spaces from Data Matrix Label.
    Suppose we have this following code in SO10.
    ^FO1380,1879^COY,78^BY4^BXR,6,200^FH^FD[)>_1E06_1DF01001T_1D6JUN&v_huf&&v_hul&_1DV&v_supnum1&_1D16K&v_del&_1D6D&v_flddat1&095_1D2L&v_unload&_1D
    P&v_article&_1D4L&v_madein&_1D_1E_04^FS.
    Variable have there own value. and the desired result will be shown like the attachment.
    But in my code it splits into new line when CMIR value has 3 spaces.
    If CMIR value is 1S0 820 355 A . then it creats a new line.
    Kindly suggest me any possible solution.
    Thanks,
    Partha

    Hi Gaurav,
    In print preview we can't see any space or new line. But when it scanned by TSB (barcode scanner) it will generate a new line when there is 3 space CMIR value.
    So where should I write SHIFT CMIR LEFT DELETING LEADING space this code?
    Because there is no space coming at the time of debugging or print preview.
    And in SO10 the code written as
    ^FO1380,1879^BY4^BXR,6,200^FH^FD[)>
    Here CMIR value is 1SO 820 303 A
    and generated output is like this.
    And desired output should be like this.

  • Removing extra spaces from a long document

    Hello
    I have seen a number of find/change and GREP formulas to do similar things. I have NO scripting or coding experience and have labored to understand GREP.
    So I am a little afraid to use it as I don't know what all the modifiers refer to (I do have a printout of some neat GREP cheatsheets like Mike Witherell's that I can absorb until I obtain a good reference )
    I need something I can copy and paste into either find/change or GREP dialog that will do the following in less than 12 steps (hopefully) without doing something catastrophic like removing all of my paragraph marks (which I almost did using someones GREP expression)
    No spaces before any comma, period, exclamation mark, question mark, colon, semicolon
    One space only after any of those
    One Space before any opening parenthesis and one space after the closing parenthesis
    No space after the opening parenthesis or before the closing parenthesis
    Remove any double or extra spaces ( en, em etc.)
    Remove any commas before parentheses
    Remove any spaces after a paragraph mark
    I think that's it
    I did find this one recently (Maybe Jongware?)
    [~m~>~f~|~S~s<~/~,~3~4%]{2
    Which from my dim understanding addresses em, en, flush and hair space ,  nonbreaking space ,figure space,third space--not sure of the rest. Really this is way over my head.
    I know this will be a piece of cake for you guys
    Thanks

A: Removing extra spaces from a long document

Peter is too modest, he's doing just great.
No space BEFORE-One Space after ---period,semicolon,colon, exclamation, question mark,CLOSING Parenth,Bracket,Brace, single & Dbl. quotation marks
Find (\s)([.,;:!\)\]\}~}~]])
Replace with $2
No space AFTER-One Space Before----OPENING bracket,brace,parenthesis,Dbl & single quotes
Find ([\[\{\(~{~[])(\s)
Replace with $1
These remove the space before/after but do not automatically add a space after/before.
In the first case, you could add a space right after the '$2' in the Replace With string, but it already may have a space, in which case you suddenly have two. One alternative is to optionally remove it with the Find string (add it as an optional match) and always add it with the Replace string, but remember that this string will only be found if there is a space preceding it. That way you'd only check the space after in cases where there was a bad space before.
So I propose you add another two find/changes to add the space, only when necessary.
One Space After: find
([.,;:!\)\]\}~}~]])(?!\s)
replace:
$0 [followed by one single space]
One Space Before: find
(?<!\s)([\[\{\(~{~[])
replace:
[one single space] $0
Color-coding with my WhatTheGrep might make it just a tad clearer what's going on in that jumble of codes:
(1 [ .,;:! \) \] \} ~} ~] ] 1) (?!! \s !)
and
(?<!<! \s <!) (1 [ \[ \{ \( ~{ ~[ ] 1)
(Orange is lookahead/lookbehind, blue is a regular escaped character, pink is an InDesign special character, green is normal grouping parentheses, and lavender is a character group.)

  • How to remove a list from a page ?

    I added a list to a page and then later decided it would be easier to add the list to page 0. Now I can't find how to remove the list from the page.
    Edited by: Rene W. on Oct 6, 2008 1:52 AM

    Ok sorry I understood you wrong then.
    I tried to recontruct your problem and did the following things.
    1. Created a new list in: Home>Application Builder>Application 305>Shared Components>Lists>Create / Edit List
    2. Created a new region on page 2: Home>Application Builder>Application 305>Page 2>Create Region Type: List, Name:"test1"
    3. Created a new region on page 1: Home>Application Builder>Application 305>Page 1>Create Region Type: List, Name: "test2"
    4. Deleted region "test1" on page 2
    5. List and region still survived on page 1. :D

    How do I remove extra profiles from color mangement in Print Module?

    If you're talking about the "short list" then click on other and then uncheck the ones that you don't want displayed. If you're talking about the long list, then you will have to browse to the folder containing the profiles and then delete them manually.

  • Way to remove HTML tags from a page-scoped attribute using JSTL?

    Hi,
    I'm using JSTL 1.2 with Tomcat 6.0.26. Does anyone know of a way to remove HTML tags from a page attribute, "${myExpr}". I would prefer a solution that uses JSTL only, but ultimately whatever gets the job done is fine with me.
    Thanks, - Dave

    I'm sorry, I don't understand your requirement. What do you mean by "remove HTML tags from a page attribute"?
    If you are dealing with a value of an attribute, it is most likely a String, and should be treated as such. The best approach would probably be java coding.

  • Why can I not remove extra spaces from Mail when composing?

    I am using Mail Version 8.1 and I cannot find a way to remove extra spaces from between my lines while composing. Every Enter makes the cursor go down two lines and there is no way to type in the space in between. There seems to be now way to see the html or any tags that can be causing this, and I cannot seem to find any setting to change the line spacing either. Does anyone know where to find any of these options so I can simply make the text single space?

    Open a message-editing window. Under the Edit menu, deselect all the options in the Spelling and Substitutions sub-menus. Test.

  • Given some xml and an xsd, how to remove extra stuff in the xml.

    Hi. I have a question. I am trying to use the various XML libraries to parse/validate an xml file given an XSD schema. I want to remove the extra stuff in the xml to output a new xml. The problem is as I validate or parse the SAXParseException it produce only gives me the localName. Is there a way I can keep track of something detail like the XPath as I validate or parse??? Thank for the help in advanced

    forgot to mention. Basically, I want to try to validate and find all the errors in the an old xml, then be able to fix the errors to end up having an valid xml file.

  • How do you remove a template from a page?

    I want to remove a template from some of my pages and can't
    figure out how to??

    The much better thing to do is to modify the template to
    accommodate the
    different layouts - that way, everything is still under
    template control,
    and you don't have to remember to also change things in those
    pages you have
    detached.

  • How to remove dark areas from scanned book PDFs?

    Hello,
    When scanning chapters from a book, I get large dark areas where the scanner picks up 'dead space' from the spine and around the perimeter of the book. I have been able to remove these using the 'Redaction' tool but when I go to save the PDF the size of the file at least doubles in size. Is there a better way to remove dark areas and, if not, is there a way to reduce the size of the PDF without reducing the quality of the text?
    Thanks.

    Thanks Bill@VT.
    I have been able to remove the dark areas using the redaction tool but when I go to save all my files are at least twice their original size.
    How can I stop this from happening?

  • Removing scroll bar from product pages

    I need to remove the scroll bar that appears on the product pages. It doesn't matter if I have only one product or 100 on the page with the small images, I still get a scroll bar on the right side. I've tried adding and removing margins and padding, set the container height to auto, and removed the previous and next buttons from the shop templates, all to no avail. It appears to be caused by the table that holds the products, but no change to the code fixes it.
    I have included a screen print of the top of the page showing the scroll bar. There are only 3 images on this page and plenty of room below them. Overflow has been set to auto (and/or visible) on the container, the table, and the page.
    So, can anyone tell me how to shut off that scroll bar? I can't find that code that includes it so I can't see what's going on.
    Thank you for you help.
    Sincerely,
    Ahurani

    Liam,
    Thank you for answering.
    I didn't want to turn the scroll bar on the page off, but the scroll bar that appears in a div container. I finally solved the problem by turning overflow: auto to overflow: hidden. And smacked myself in the forehead and said, "Duh. I knew that." Too tired and too close to the problem I guess.
    The only other thing I can't seem to find is the large space that appears above a product table. I've tried everything from margins to padding and beyond.
    Sorry about not including the url. I have used the forum so rarely that I didn't think of that. It is www.whimsicalley02.businesscatalyst.com, just in cases you want to look at the big space on Harry Potter > Accessories and on the large product page. I'd love to tuck the product closer to the breadcrumb, but if that is not possible, then c'est la vie.
    Thank you.

  • Removing printer offsets from PDF pages

    I accidently set up a printer page offset when creating PDF pages from Word Perfect X3. Is there a way to remove the offset, or do I need to go back to the original WP pages (which I can't find!)?

    I recreated a page and made sure there were no offsets listed. The PDF page still prints offset. I found sources to recreate the page, displayed codes, and removed anything marked as offset. There is still an offset to the left when pre-print displaying either the source page or the PDF version.
