When standard enhancement and cleanup just aren't enough, and your scanned documents seem beyond repair, ScanFix Xpress is the SDK for the job. Building on 20 years of image enhancement patents, research, and development, this SDK delivers industry-leading color, grayscale, and bitonal image cleanup, and boasts an impressive collection of image enhancement options.
Image Detergent ®
& Filters
Image Detergent ®:
- Cleans up noise and variations in specified colors in 24-bit color images
- Flattens each color region to a specified color by adjusting each color region to its center point
- Offers an automatic mode to clean dominant colors or can specify color list
- Removes JPEG compression artifacts commonly found around characters in scanned color documents
Filters:
- Applies various filter operations to 8-bit and 24-bit images
- Offers a variety of options including smoothing filters (Gaussian, median, average), sharpening filters (unsharp mask), morphological filters (dilate, erode, open, close), edge detection filters (Laplacian, Prewitt), and provision for user defined convolution filters

Text Correction
Auto Inverse Text Correction:
- Detects and automatically converts inverted text zones on 1-bit images
- Changes white-on-black text to normal black-on-white
Auto Negate:
- Analyzes 1, 8, and 24 bit images to determine if they are inverted (light text on dark background, dark text on light background)
- Offers automated correction to reverse colors, if needed (user configurable to report or automatically correct)

Additional Image Processing
- Performs Flip, Mirror, Rescale, Rotate, and Shear on 1, 8, and 24-bit images
- Offers Smooth-Zoom to double the width and height of a 1-bit image and smooth objects for better recognition (ideal for improving barcode and OCR results)

Sub-Image Processing
- Applies to 1, 8, and 24-bit images
- Separates out an area, from the original document image, prior to image processing
- Speeds up processing and outputs only the smaller area of interest
