The CLASSIFY_IMAGES plugin is responsible for classifying documents using the image comparison algorithm in ImageMagick. The plugin works on the two stages for classifying a document:
- Learning: Learning is done by generating indexes for documents, which are used to classify documents. Refer to Learning Documents for more information.
- Classification: Learnt data is used as a reference for classifying documents. When an uploaded document goes through classification, the plugin superimposes the new image over the learnt image and generates a confidence value.
Configuration
- Go to Batch Class Management > [batch class] > Modules > Document Assembly.
- Add the CLASSIFY_IMAGES plugin to the Selected Plugins column.
- Click Deploy.

| Classify Image Switch | Switch |
|
Set this property to ON to enable the plugin. |
| Classify Image Max Results | Integer | Any numerical value | Set this property to the maximum number of results classified from the uploaded images that will be stored in the batch.xml. |
| Classify Image Comparison Metric | String | N/A | This property is used to compare the learnt images with the uploaded images. |
| Classify Image Fuzz Percentage | Integer | N/A | This property is used to fuzz the distance approach in ImageMagick. |
Plugin Workflow
- You will need to learn documents for the batch class prior to starting the classification process. Refer to Learning Documents for more information.
- Upload documents to the batch class.
- After the import process for a batch has completed, the CLASSIFY_IMAGES plugin starts in the Page Process module.
- The plugin classifies the uploaded documents using image-based classification.
- Information is written to the batch.xml file.
