Explanation on the BitmapOCR post filtering in the Analytics Bundle

SYMPTOMS

BitmapOCR applies a mimetype- and filesize-based post filtering on the crawlquery result and copies matching documents, together with their metadata, to the interface folder for ZySCAN. These files are picked up from that folder by ZySCAN that tries to OCR them and initializes the metadata of the OCR version of the document with the metadata of the original bitmap file.

CAUSE

Not applicable

RESOLUTION

nly recognized files with a mimetype that codes bitmap content are applied in the mimetype-based filter.

Configurable items in the Analytics Bundle BitmapOCR configuration:

• The maximum amount of threads the task under execution consumes.
• The ZySCAN import directory Foldername

(The folder where a ZySCAN configuration expects its image files).

Minimal filesize: Scalar 20 kb 
The minimal filesize a image file must have to be transferred to ZySCAN.
Some images could be small and can be considered not to contain any textual content when processed using OCR (like email banners etc.).
