• Filename: The filename of the source PDF document (including the file extension)
• File Content: A Base64 encoded representation of the PDF document
• Clean Operations: Configures which 'Clean Operations' should be executed.

By default the 'Clean Operations' setting is set to 'Default' which will apply the following clean-up operations:

• Despeckle - Automatically detects speckles and removes them
• Color Balance - Restores and balances the color quality within an image
• Auto Rotate - Automatically detects orientation and rotates so that the text is upright oriented

Advanced Parameters

The advanced 'Image - Clean Up (Photo)' flow action parameters are detailed below:

NOTE: These settings will only apply when the 'Clean Operations' value is set to ''Specific"

• Deskew - Detects the skew angle and rotates to remove that skew.
• Despeckle - Automatically detects speckles and removes them.
• Color Balance - Restores and balances the color quality within an image.
• Remove Border - Locates border pixels and removes the pixels from the document
• Contrast - Adjusts the contrast in the current image.
• Remove Redeye - Automatically reduces the red reflection of the flash seen in the eyes of people in color flash photo images.
• Blur - Blurs the current image by averaging each pixel with each of its neighbouring pixels, giving it an 'out of focus' appearance.
• Diffuse - Diffuses the current image by replacing each pixel with a randomly selected neighbouring pixel.
• Binarize - Computes all necessary parameters by analyzing the input data before actually performing the binarization. The algorithm is tuned to typical document images, consisting of dark text on a brighter background. It is robust to shadows, noise, and background images.
