Scan multiple documents at once using separator sheets ?
Scan multiple documents at once using separator sheets ?
I posted this question in a different thread without much reaction; apologies for the duplication. I really need to figure this out before buying GdPicture for our application.
Here is the problem I'm trying to solve.
--->We would like to speed up scanning by feeding the scanner multiple documents at a time (as opposed to feeding the scanner on document at a time).
-->To respect the document boundaries, we insert separator sheets between consecutive documents. The separator sheet will be recognizable through visual patterns.
Does anybody know how I can recognize specific pattern on a scanned image in order to identify the separator sheets on the fly and recognize them as document delimiters?
Thanks

I've noticed the promised version 5 is out, and I just ordered a copy. Could you by any chance tell me how to solve this problem with this version?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Code to Scan multiple documents at once using separator shee
Hi,
You can use the folowing code to acquire multiple image from a document feeder using a separator sheets.
Notes:
- This code assumes that the first page in the feeder is a separator sheet.
- This code creates multipage PDF files. You can modify it easily in order to acquire into multipage TIFF files.
- This code is working from the GdPicture [PRO] V 5.0.5 https://www.gdpicture.com/download.php
Let me know if you have any question regarding this method.
