The Digitization plug-in has been designed to digitize positions of features in large image files. By clicking on these features their coordinates are saved to a textfile (CSV). The coordinates can then be used for further analysis.
The digitization plug-in can be applied to forensic document examination problems such as:

  • Marking specks on photocopies to see if they match the ones on copies from a suspected copier.
  • Marking printer defects to further analyze them and see if they match the ones on other documents suspected to come from the same printer.

The Digitization plug-in has been designed for PhotoShop™ compatible plug-in hosts, some of which are free.
