DIGITALLY ARCHIVING WITH METADATA ANALOG RECORDS CAPTURED BY CAMERA AT OPTIMIZED RESOLUTION

摘要

A method and system for optimizing the conversion of analog records to digital format are disclosed. The method includes: examining related analog records to be archived, analyzing an information detail selected from a worse case sample of the examined analog records, imaging the information detail with a digital imaging device (10) for a pixel sequence, optimizing the resolution of the pixel sequence, capturing the analog record with the digital imaging device (10), and saving the captured record as a digitally archived record. The steps of capturing the analog record and saving the captured record can be repeated for each page within the related analog records without having to re-optimize the resolution of the digital image prior to recording and saving. The pixel sequence is based on a pixel-per-line sequence (PPLS) ranging from 3 pixels to 10 pixels, and is especially based on a PPLS range of 3-4 pixels.
