Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Does anyone know how I could use ImageMagick to replicate the effect in the images below? I am preparing the image to be sent to an OCR engine for scanning.

Thanks

They are both the same image!

But I think I know what you want. If on Linux or Mac or Windows w/ Cygwin, see my script, textcleaner, at the link below. Otherwise, see the IM function -lat, which is what I use in the textcleaner script. see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... ns.php#lat

try something like
Optionally add -colorspace gray after reading the image and before -lat.
