Newgen Secures Patent from USPTO for 'Image Processing System and Method'

MCLEAN, Va., April 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Newgen Software, a global provider of low code digital automation platform, is pleased to announce that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted a patent (No. 10,909,406) for an invention titled "Image Processing System and Method". The patent is for a term of 20 years, commencing from the 7^th day of March 2018.

The invention is an image processing system that can binarize images—convert colored and gray images to black and white. Binarization is extensively used to reduce large-size images and facilitate document analysis. This advanced level binarization process will help enterprises in data processing.

It underlines our focus on innovation and our commitment to deliver best-in-class technologies related to content services and low code process automation to our clients. The technology will facilitate enterprises to effectively capture and process data and help them stay ahead of the curve," said Anand Raman, EVP and COO, Newgen Software Inc.
