    摘要: Scan exposure in a row or swath scanner is controlled by pulsing light sources with pulses (R, G, B) that are separated by dark intervals (441) from each other - and from the detector readout periods (RD). Detector sequencing is thereby made independent of the velocity of the pixel-line advance mechanism (401-403; 131, 133). Different pulse widths (412, 412') for different colors provide color correction without calculation, or regularize colorspace conversion calculations (128) where needed. In a swath scanner, known technology of printing modes is imported into the scanning context. Order of pixel columns within each swath can be reversed (251) for printing - permitting use of novel configurations such as a dual-parallel-flatbed copier (Figs. 13, 14) in which a single common scan-and-advance mechanism (211, 231-244') simultaneously transports the scan sensor (214) and printheads (212, 213). To produce mirror images, this configuration is also used without column reversal. In addition to red, green and blue light sources, an infrared source is used for reading invisible indicia that identify forms or media types. The scan sensor (214) is also used (214') for auxiliary printing functions.

    摘要: A computerised methodology for reducing swath scanner swath boundary discontinuities is provided by using a predetermined overlap of pixel row during each sequential scan. Pixel data from a first scan (400-401) of the overlapped pixel rows is compared to the pixel data from a second scan (405, 409, 411, 415, 417) of the overlapped pixel rows, identical pixels of the overlapped pixel rows ideally having the same representative scan data. Errors are compensated by weighting representative scan data for each pixel row, linearly decreasing the weighting in proportion to the proximity to the swath boundary (413). Weighted data is substituted for true data depending upon comparison factors (403, 407). In one embodiment, the weighting factor is an increase or decrease in the first scan data relative to the percentage change in white level intensity captured in the second scan of the overlapped pixel rows. In another embodiment, the weighting factor is a linear shifting of the proportion of the pixel data from the first scan and the pixel data from the second scan of the overlapped pixel rows used as the scanned image data such that the proportion of the first scan decreases as the proportion of the second scan increases, thereby smoothing differentials in data representative of individual pixel rows at swath boundaries. In another embodiment, scanner signal-to-noise ratio is improved by using a weighting factor in accordance with the Central Limit Theorem.
