Document Creation, Image Acquisition and Document Quality

  • Reference work entry
  • First Online:

Abstract

A summary of materials used in creating documents, methods of creating the printed document, and methods to acquire a digital version of that document are presented. Current as well as historical methods, materials, and processes are presented. Along with this, a discussion of places where image degradations can enter the process is included. All this is related to how these aspects could affect document recognition ability.
