18.4.2 Creation of a new logo
Firstly, a page containing the logo must be scanned. In order that good results are achieved later during recognition you should take careful note of the following points:
- Scan letterhead page in color at 300dpi.
- Set quality to 90 at 13.4.1.
- Use a high-quality copy or original of the letterhead.
Open it with an image editing software (e.g. Gimp). Cut the logo out carefully and align it horizontally.
WRONG!!!!!
RIGHT!!!!!
Note: It is exceedingly difficult to scan a page in a way that it is absolutely straight. Nevertheless, the logo must be extremely straight because otherwise the inaccuracy produced during logo recognition regarding the rotation angle can be considerable. This in turn leads to wrong positioning of the objects. Hence, adjust the logo so that it is in an absolutely horizontal position!
Then, save the file in PNG format. Please do not use the JPG format because the quality of the logo would suffer.
Copy the logo file to the 'formrec' folder of the ArchivistaBox. The exact path is:
/home/data/archivista/cust/formrec
This process can be performed either via SSH (console) or WinSCP (GUI program).
The logo in question is now stored on your ArchivistaBox. In order to be able to access it in the event of logo recognition, you must not forget to enter the image under the menu item logo recognition.
You receive confirmation that the process has been successfully completed. Click OK.
Now the logo in question is saved on your ArchivistaBox. In order that the logo recognition can take it as its basis you must not forget to enter the file name under menu item Logo recognition.
