It’s about time…
SourceForge finally got the webspace for shimaging in place.
The Shimaging website is alive! Complete with API (javadocs) & usage documentation, screenshots, class diagrams, etc.
Kylene did a lot of baking today — for a customer. So I didn’t get to stain the two doors yet — I didn’t want the place to smell like stain (or other fumes) when the client comes to get the food. It just wouldn’t be good for business. Besides, the house smells like baked goods right now, and I don’t want to spoil that. :-)

I’d have sworn that badly overprinted health insurance form (in the Shimaging screenshot) was done by my employers software, till I remembered the attempt to enter the US market crashed and burned…
Has all the standard problems of drifting over time due to setup ours has though ;)

Actually, what you’re seeing is a composite of two images scanned on different scanners.
One is the 1500 form, which came from our old scanners (ScanOptics or some such) and the claim data is a test claim scanned on our new ImageTrackII scanners from http://www.ibml.com
Those IBML scanners are some sweet hardware. Unfortunately, their software stack on top of them pretty much bites. It has it’s good points, but it has a TON of bad ones.

Anyway, I was trying to say the alignment is mostly from using mis-matched scanners with different settings for de-skew.
I’ve setup that composite operation to scale the images to the same size, which greatly reduces the effect of mis-alignment (believe it or not).
Once they get the upstream systems in place and matured, I’ll have them scan a new 1500 template, and things should line up a lot better.
