Quality control

Quality control

Once the images are split and processed, they automatically appear on the screen of a quality control workstation. Quality control operators review every page in a book, checking that all images were scanned, correctly cropped and split, and meet specified quality standards. The quality control workstations are connected to a Bookeye planetary scanner, which allows operators to manually rescan pages if necessary, and to insert scans of fold-outs, maps, and other pages the DL could not capture.

The manual review workstation also allows operators to choose the format of the derivative files that will be created for online access. Depending on the quality of the original images and project specifications, the operator can choose to create color, grayscale, and black and white PDFs, JPEGs and/or TIFF files.
