A digital camera processing system with software to manage taking photos with a digital camera. Camera software controls the digital camera. A downloaded software component controls the digital camera software and causes a handheld mobile device to perform operations. The operations may include instructing a user to have the digital camera take photos of a check; displaying an instruction on a display of the handheld mobile device to assist the user in having the digital camera take the photos; or assisting the user as to an orientation for taking the photos with the digital camera. The digital camera processing system may generate a log file including a bi-tonal image formatted as a TIFF image.

An example disclosed herein analyzes a first scan of a first target scanned with a first scanner module of a scanner, analyzes second scan of a second target scanned with a second scanner module of the scanner, identifies a color difference greater than a threshold color difference between the first scan and the second scan, and adjusts color settings for the first scanner module to correct the color difference to less than the threshold color difference.

An image processing apparatus includes an indexing determiner, an index processor, a line combiner, a drawing processor, and an image forming device. The indexing determiner determines whether color information of pixels forming a line in printing target data are expressible by index colors. The color information is expressed by RGB. The index processor generates an index color image that includes pixels obtained by expressing, using the index colors, the color information of the pixels determined to be expressible by the index colors. The line combiner combines pixels of which the color information is expressed in a same aspect in a plurality of lines to generate an RGB image region and an index color image region. The drawing processor performs a drawing process on each of the RGB image region and the index color image region to generate drawing information. The image forming device processes the drawing information.

Remote deposit of checks can be facilitated by a financial institution. A customer's general purpose computer and image capture device may be leveraged to capture an image of a check and deliver the image to financial institution electronics. Additional data for the transaction may be collected as necessary. The transaction can be automatically accomplished utilizing the images and data thus acquired.

A system and method for generating a mixed raster content representation of an input image. An input image is segmented into image and text layers. Connected component analysis is performed on the image layer, with each group of connected pixels labeled. For each group, an average color is determined and when a mask layer exists for the color, the pixels in the group are enabled in the mask layer. When a mask layer does not exist for the color, a new mask layer is created and the corresponding pixels enabled. The image layer is then removed and the mask layers are combined into the text layer, whereupon a text only MRC compression file is output.

An image reading apparatus includes an image data obtaining unit, a foreign material position information obtaining unit, and a separation processor. The image data obtaining unit obtains image data read from a document passing over a read area. The foreign material position information obtaining unit obtains foreign material position information read from the read area in which the document is not present. The separation processor separates the image data into plural objects including a background object, detects, by using the foreign material position information, a streak image portion caused by foreign material in the read area and included in the image data, and assumes a pixel of the streak image portion to belong to the background object if the pixel is present in the background object and has a pixel value equal to or smaller than a threshold determined in accordance with a representative value of the background.
