METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ADJUSTING TEXT COLORS IN SCANNED DOCUMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240020997 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ADJUSTING TEXT COLORS IN SCANNED DOCUMENTS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes methods and systems for adjusting text colors in scanned documents. The method involves receiving a document for scanning from a user, scanning the document to generate scanned data, and segmenting the scanned data into an image layer and one or more text layers. The text layers contain textual content. The text color of the textual content in each text layer is identified and compared with one or more pre-defined colors. Based on the comparison, the text color in each text layer is adjusted to match the pre-defined colors, resulting in a modified text layer. Finally, the modified text layer and the image layer are combined to create a final scanned document.

  • The method involves scanning a document and segmenting the scanned data into image and text layers.
  • The text color of the textual content in each text layer is identified.
  • The identified text color is compared with pre-defined colors.
  • The text color in each text layer is adjusted to match the pre-defined colors, creating a modified text layer.
  • The modified text layer and the image layer are combined to create a final scanned document.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhancing the readability and visual appeal of scanned documents.
  • Improving the accuracy of optical character recognition (OCR) by adjusting text colors.
  • Facilitating document editing and formatting by adjusting text colors to match predefined styles or themes.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inaccurate or inconsistent text colors in scanned documents can make them difficult to read or understand.
  • Scanned documents with poor text color contrast may not meet accessibility standards.
  • Adjusting text colors manually in scanned documents can be time-consuming and prone to errors.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved legibility and comprehension of scanned documents.
  • Enhanced accessibility for individuals with visual impairments.
  • Time and effort savings in adjusting text colors of scanned documents.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure discloses methods and systems for adjusting text colors in scanned documents. the method includes receiving a document for scanning from a user. then, the document is scanned to generate scanned data. the scanned data is segmented into an image layer and one or more text layers, wherein the one or more text layers include textual content. thereafter, the text color of the textual content in each text layer is identified. then, the identified text color of the textual content in the text layer is compared with one or more pre-defined colors. based on comparison, the text color of the textual content in each text layer is adjusted to match with the one or more pre-defined colors thereby generates a modified text layer. finally, the modified text layer and the image layer are combined to create a final scanned document.
