Noise removal from scanned document for auto crop

[Jivec]

Thank you in advance for your time

THE PROBLEM

The images are Scanned documents with 300 DPI

The original problem is that i have an image https://imgur.com/a/U4GLbDK

and as you can see i have a bit of noise at random spots outside of the area of interest. I tried many ways to clean the noise and after some searching i found out about the `connectedComponents ` method.

I'm trying to follow this well documented topic but i don't know how i can implement it since connectedComponents seems to not working like i thought.

A BIT OF WHAT TRIED

I also tried to create a mask of the image above but i'm not so sure if i'm applying it the correct way, because it doesn't seem to work. https://imgur.com/a/V3PuK1G

Code: Select all

mgImgModified.Composite(origImg, CompositeOperator.CopyAlpha);

and i also tried this.

Code: Select all

origImg.ReadMask = mgImgModified;

The last one seems to have an effect on the image but not the desired one.

END GOAL

My end goal is to dynamically clean the noise around the area of interest in order to be able to auto crop the image, to only the part i want in every instance.


Thank you:)

Are the red line part of the actual image or added for show? If not, then please provide the original. What is the area of interest for this image?

Please always provide your ImageMagick version and platform!

I'm using 7.4.6 Magick.Net Q16.

Trying to auto crop/trim ,the documents are not only in this color i want to dynamically remove noise from the white areas in order for trim to work

In command line mode, you can do it as follows:

Code: Select all

magick form.jpg -morphology close octagon:9 -fuzz 10% -format "%@" info:

1736x2698+30+355

Code: Select all

magick form.jpg -crop 1736x2698+30+355 +repage form_crop.png

Thanks for helping out Fred. There are some more files that jivec wants to convert in this issue: https://github.com/dlemstra/Magick.NET/issues/234 and they don't work with your suggested method.
