Dear All,
The Following is the requirement that is needed for the conversion and I
am
happy to tell all that the features shall be made available at the
earliest.
Requirements:
first of all, it should be accessible. I.e. I could be able to use it
with
Jaws. it should be able to convert color images and grayscale images to
monochrome images. it should be able to handle single as well as multiple
images in a folder. outputs may be put in the same folder with the same
names replacing the originals or they can be put in a separate folder
with a
small string appended at the end of the file names in order to
distinguish
them from the originals. the single files processed may be placed in the
same folder as of the original file. otherwise, the user can be given the
option of saving the modified file (in case of single file
only.) with a save as dialog box. as I told earlier, the threshold for
converting grayscale images into monochrome should be able to be varied
by
the user for a file in case of single file processing, and for a batch
for
batch processing. better there should be preview option (single file
case)
to preview how the converted image would be for different threshold
values.
for this, you can have a slider for varying the threshold and the preview
pane in a window. there is something called dynamic thresholding where
different threshold is applied for different parts of the image in order
to
improve the recognizability of the image. but I don't know the mechanism
of
that process. if you know about it, please enlighten me. he program
should
be compatible with known picture formats like jpg, bmp, tiff, png, gif,
etc.
better the output be in tif format because kurzweil only processes the
tif
files directly. in addition, better if the program contains the options
to
modify the brightness and contrast of the images.
Yours
Umesha
Thanks& Regards,
Chinai Giri

Dear Chinai Giri,
since I was the only person involved in the experiment, I thought of
avoiding the traffic in the list and sent a private mail. so, I am
re-sending the request again.

Dear Chinai Giri,
Thank you, I am happy to pay that non-commercial charge. smiles. but I
need to be informed about the aspects of life before that for wishing.
is
there anything of such currently?

Dear Umesha,
This is Chinai Giri From Pune, I am able to provide you with what you
require for converting the Color Pictures to monochrome images. Pls
write
all the needs that you want from the program. I shall quickly compile
the
same and will give a drop box link to download the same, This shall be a
custom made software where you may also control the threshold values.
Also note that there is a charge for such a custom made software and the
charge shall be just wishes for me in some aspect of my life, the charge
is
not commercial in nature.
Regards,
Chinai P. Giri.

But I am feeling difficult to learn it. I have been unable to install
it.
after struggle, I downloaded image magic windows.zip from their ftp site
where there is no clear clue about which files to be downloaded. but it
does
not have setup.exe or install.exe. the readme file is not user friendly
and
highly technical. it is written for advanced users who know very well
about
programming. so I am struck here. any advice is welcomed.

Hi Umesha,
See the imageMagic program and library. It has a commandline interface.

thank you. the program converts the images into single bit. but it has
neither variable threshold, nor batch processing. any other program or
idea
is welcomed.

Subject: [AI] converting colour and grayscale images into black and
white
Dear friends,
few months ago, I was discussing about scanning our textbooks using a
digital camera. as a part of that experiment, I have one problem for
which
I
seek your advice. it's as follows:
the kesi virtual printer does not properly convert colour and
grayscale
images into monochrome images while printing. so I need a program to
convert
colour and grayscale images taken from a camera into single-bit
monochrome
(black and white) images before feeding them into kesi printer. if any
of
you know of any such program, kindly let me know. additionally it is
desirable to have the following features
1. variable threshold: the threshold value for converting gray pixels
into
either black or white should be able to be varied by the user.
2. batch processing: it should be able to convert multiple images
stored
in
a folder all at once.
thanks
Umesha
