Configure an Image quality analysis activity

Use the following procedure to configure an Image quality analysis activity.

Add an activity to the map.

By default, the Configuration tab is open in the properties panel of the activity.
Change the default Name of the activity to something meaningful.
On the Type list, select Capture > Image quality analysis.
On the Input document/folder list, select a document or folder variable.

Configure the following threshold settings.

Setting	Range	Sensitivity	Associated error code
Blur threshold sensitivity (Default: 10)	0 to 100	Sensitivity increases as value increases.	106
Blur threshold percentage (Default: 70)	0 to 100	Sensitivity decreases as value increases.	106
Under saturation threshold sensitivity (Default: 18)	0 to 100	Sensitivity decreases as value increases.	104
Under saturation threshold percentage (Default: 49)	0 to 100	Sensitivity decreases as value increases.	104
Over saturation threshold sensitivity (Default: 10)	0 to 100	Sensitivity decreases as value increases.	105
Over saturation threshold percentage (Default: 33)	0 to 100	Sensitivity decreases as value increases.	105

When image analysis is complete, the results are placed on each page analyzed as text extensions. Refer to the following table for the error code of the quality error condition, its description, and the likely cause of the error.

Error code	Error description	Likely cause
0	None	No errors detected.
102	The image may be missing borders.	The entire document cannot be seen in the image.
103	The image may have glare.	Flash is being used or a bright point light source sits right above the location where the image was taken.
104	The image may be poorly lit.	The image was taken in a dark room.
105	The image may be overly lit.	The flash is on, or an extremely bright light sits directly above the location where the image was taken. A dirty lens can also cause some of the same "washout" as an overly lit image.
106	The image may be blurred.	The user did not hold the camera steady.
107	The image may have shadows.	Something is obstructing the direct light over a portion of the document.
108	The image may be overly skewed.	The user is not holding their device parallel to the document they are capturing.
109	The image may have low contrast between the document and the background.	The background of the document and the background of the surface on which the document sits are similar in color.

If more than one quality error conditions are detected because of image quality analysis, the error code corresponds to the first condition found, but all error conditions are included in the error description. For example, if both Overly lit and Glare error conditions are detected, the error code 105 (corresponds to Overly lit) is returned, but both Overly lit and Glare are included in the error description.

Select one of the following for Reject documents on exceptions.
- Use system level setting (default): The system rejects the documents or pages or suspends the job based on the selection of the "Reject documents on exceptions" option in the System settings.For more information, see General.
- Enabled: All the Transformation server activities reject documents or pages instead of suspending the job when an error occurs. The job continues forward to check for rejected documents and handles the documents accordingly.
- Disabled: The system suspends the activity on exception.
Save the process map.
