Certifi Pedigree® QP
Certifi Pedigree® QP is an integrated suite of applications for Windows
platforms that provide real-time quality measurement and monitoring of image
digitization processes. Pedigree QP also includes fast, automated image
processing tools that are integrated with the quality components to allow to
simultaneously improve your workflow efficiency and produce higher quality
images.
At the core of Pedigree QP are automated tools for image quality assurance, so
you'll always know that the digitization was completed to your quality
specifications. The flexibility of Pedigree QP allows you to focus on the
quality metrics that are most important to you and compare the results against
national and international quality recommendations.
Image quality is measured through the use of precision-engineered
test targets
that are captured by whatever imaging device (flat-bed scanner, sheet-fed
scanner, camera, etc.) is used in your digitization workflow. The targets can be
used by themselves or they can be placed next to the content that is being
digitized. Some additional quality measurements are also made directly from the
content image data, without relying on the test target as a reference.
The output from Pedigree Q is a Certified image file, containing the quality
measurement metadata and the image data securely wrapped with a digital
signature for protection against tampering. Te creation of Certified image files
requires an account containing "credits", which are provided either during the
software installation or purchased separately through Certifi Media.
