GoldenThread Device/DICE Level Target
Legacy Target for Flexible Standards-Based Imaging
The GoldenThread Device/DICE Level Target continues to serve a focused role in today’s digitization workflows. It is most commonly used as the Flex target for FADGI Modern Textual Records (MTR) and FADGI 3-Star sheet-feed scanning, with additional applicability for large-format materials such as maps, including Rowe scanner workflows.
Current Primary Use Cases
Today, this target is best suited for:
- Modern Textual Records (MTR) digitization using sheet-fed scanners
- FADGI 3-Star validation for automated document workflows
-
High-volume scanning environments with automatic document feeders
- Standardized Flex target workflows for consistent, repeatable QA
- Ongoing quality control for production-level, batch scanning systems
Ideal for Benchmarking and Quality Control
The GoldenThread Device/DICE Level Target supports core quality assurance activities, including:
- Scanner and camera benchmarking – Evaluate and document performance across the full image field
- Session-to-session quality control – Maintain consistency across operators and capture sessions
- Standards compliance validation – Support FADGI, Metamorfoze, and ISO-aligned workflows
- Preservation-grade digitization – Build an auditable, measurable record of imaging accuracy
A Note on Target Selection
The Device / DICE Level Target is purpose-built for Flex workflows, including FADGI Modern Textual Records and 3-Star sheet-feed digitization. For institutions working within these standards, DICE remains a reliable and appropriate solution for system-level quality control.
If your imaging requirements extend beyond Flex workflows or into additional capture environments, Crowley can help you evaluate complementary target options to ensure the best fit for your overall digitization strategy.
