Linux Document Scanner SDK

The Scanbot Linux Document Scanner SDK provides powerful, easy-to-integrate and simple-to-use high-level APIs for analyzing and processing images of documents.

Key features include:

• Document detection and cropping: Automatically detect the document borders in an image and produce a properly cropped version.
• Image filters: Enhance document images using built-in filters such as grayscale, binarization, and contrast adjustment to optimize them for your backend systems.
• Document Quality Analyzer: Assess the quality of a document image to ensure it meets the required standards for OCR or archiving. The analyzer evaluates text visibility, clarity, and readability and returns a quality rating from “very poor” to “excellent.”
