Boeing
Relying on years of experience, state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, and a staff of imaging professionals, DataBank was prepared to tackle such a challenging project. Based on previous work relationships, Boeing knew that DataBank had the experience and expertise required to scan and produce quality raster images of large engineering and manufacturing drawings.
THE SOLUTION
To reduce the labor and turnaround for the project, DataBank proposed a two-step approach: convert the sixty rolls of 35mm film on a Mekel Roll-Film Scanner into digital images, and then process the images, as needed, for image enhancement and creation of the custom database needed to integrate the images into Boeing’s imaging system. Using this approach,
the film would not be altered and labor would be minimized by not cutting the film and mounting each frame into an aperture card, thus, time was saved, schedules were met, and costs were reduced. The process required that each frame would be captured at 200
DPI as TIFF CCITT Group IV images. Over 46,500 frames of film were scanned. Quality assurance monitors made any necessary adjustments for each roll of film in order to insure the best quality images. Scanned images were then examined for maximum image quality and corrective measures such as cropping, nonaggressive despeckling, and deskewing were taken when necessary.
