Abstract:
1. A document processing system comprising a document transport for moving a plurality of documents and at least one computer running system software that interfaces with the document transport to provide document control, the document processing system further comprising: an imaging subsystem connected to the document transport for accessing and analyzing previously-captured selected image metrics and at least one previously-captured image rendition from the plurality of documents, the imaging subsystem determining if at least one of the selected image metrics for any of the at least one previously-captured image rendition does not successfully compare against preselected image quality metric threshold values, generating an image quality flag for any of the at least one previously-captured image rendition if it does not successfully compare, and creating in an image quality flag file, a record entry for each imaged document having at least one flagged previously-captured image rendition, wherein each record entry includes information about the at least one flagged previously-captured image rendition for that imaged document; wherein the imaging subsystem further creates an image index file that, for each document, provides pointers to associated images and includes a global image quality flag for indicating image quality test results for the document and an image quality record index field that points to the associated record entry, if any, in the image quality flag file; and wherein each record entry in the image quality flag file further includes a cross-reference to the corresponding part of the image index file for the document corresponding to that particular record entry.
