Abstract: An imaging system which can scan and capture high-quality digital images at high speeds, including the ability to adjust the exposure setting of the digital camera to accommodate the variable film exposure experienced with consumer film. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, this is achieved through the use of a pre-scan function which determines film density and permits the exposure settings of a line-scan camera to be adjusted on a frame by frame basis during a frame gap in response to the predetermined density for each frame.

Abstract: A thermal printer is used with a thermosensitive recording sheet, and records an image on the recording sheet. A predetermined discernment code is provided for the recording sheet. A code reader inputs the predetermined discernment code. A system control block stores reference code, and checks the predetermined discernment code with reference to the reference code to judge whether the recording sheet is acceptable or unacceptable. If the recording sheet is unacceptable, printing operation is inhibited and/or an alarm signal is generated.

Abstract: An image reading device comprises a mode select switch for changing the operation mode of the device between a remote mode and a stand-alone mode. The mode select switch is depressed by a liquid crystal display pivotally attached to a body of the image reading device. When the liquid crystal display is folded to depress the mode select switch, the remote mode is set, so that a back-light of the liquid crystal display is switched off. When the liquid crystal display is unfolded to release the mode select switch, the stand-alone mode is set, so that the back-light and the liquid crystal display are turned ON.

Abstract: A film holder has a strip film holder provided at a position where when one corner of the film holder is matched with a corner of an original bed of the image reader having the same positional relationship as the corner, as many frames as a half the number of frames of one roll of strip film are contained in the read area; when a corner on the opposite side to the corner of the film holder in the longitudinal side direction is matched with a corner on the opposite side to the corner of the original bed of the image reader in the lateral side direction, other frames than the frames of the strip film are contained in the read area. Accordingly, worsening the operability in reading a transparency can be prevented in the image reader which has a read area meeting as many frames as a half the number of frames of one roll of strip film and can read a transparency.

Abstract: An image reading and processing apparatus which reads an original image photographed on a film, and performs image processing on the read image to obtain output data. This apparatus is used in a digital printing apparatus based on an image reading and processing method which prevents or reduces occurrence of a failure to output an image portion actually recorded on the film to a printer or the like, i.e., chipping off the image. From a picture frame of an original image, first image data is read so that the first image data includes data on a picture area and a non-picture area around the picture area. Boundaries of the picture area is determined from the first image data obtained by reading, and second image data is extracted within an image data extraction area which is set according to the determined boundaries of the picture area. Image processing is performed on the extracted second image to obtain output data.

Abstract: A stand alone customer operated photofinishing apparatus. The apparatus includes a film receiving section for receiving and holding a film cartridge containing an undeveloped filmstrip therein from a customer, the filmstrip having at least one image. A customer order data entry station is provided for entering an order selection. The apparatus further includes a developing section for developing the filmstrip comprising at least one processing tank containing a processing solution for processing of the filmstrip, a scanner for scanning the developed filmstrip so as to obtain a digital record of the at least one image developed on the filmstrip, a printing section for dry printing the at least one image on the developed filmstrip using the digital record so as to produce at least one print, and a delivery section for returning the at least one print and the developed filmstrip to the customer. Alternatively, instead of the image to be printed being obtained by scanning a film, the image may be obtained through an input port designed for receiving a digital record from a variety of sources of least one image.

Abstract: This invention has as its object to obtain a high-quality read image from which dust or scratches have been removed by an image reading apparatus which reads image information on a transparent original by synchronously scanning a light source unit and image reading unit. To this end, upon reading a transparent original, infrared LED chips on a dust/scratch detection LED substrate and a transparent original illumination lamp are turned on to make alignment between the LED substrate and the image reading unit, and dust/scratch detection image information is obtained by synchronously moving the light source unit and image reading unit in the subscanning direction. Subsequently, alignment between the transparent original illumination lamp and image reading unit is made, and image information of the transparent original is obtained by synchronously moving the light source unit and image reading unit in the subscanning direction.

Abstract: An image recorded on photo film is projected through an imaging lens onto an image sensor. In accordance with a selected mode, set values are read out from a data ROM and are applied to a band pass filter consisting of programmable digital filters. Pixel signals from the image sensor are converted into evaluation signals which are correlative with spatial frequencies of the image, and are filtered through the band pass filter with the frequency band determined by the set values. The evaluation signals are integrated, and a peak value of integration values obtained at different focusing positions is determined to be an in-focus position.

Abstract: A verification screen is displayed by using information obtained by prescanning. On the basis of a print magnification, fine scanning conditions are computed, and a determination is made as to whether or not a density of an image obtained by prescanning is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. If the density of the image obtained by prescanning is not greater than or equal to the predetermined value, fine scanning is carried out in accordance with fine scan conditions. If the density of the image obtained by prescanning is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, the image is read at a charge accumulating time which is longer than a charge accumulating time during fine scanning and at a conveying speed which is slower than a conveying speed during fine scanning.

Abstract: The image processing method performs prescan for capturing an image of a frame on a film at low resolution, determines image processing conditions using image data obtained by the prescan, represents the image captured with the prescan on a display, selects the frame or frames to be subjected to red eye correction by using the represented image captured with the prescan, performs fine scan for capturing the image on the film at high resolution, obtains output image data by processing fine scanned image data in accordance with the image processing conditions, sets red eye correcting conditions for the thus selected frame or frames by using the fine scanned data, and subjects the fine scanned data of the image of the selected frame to the red eye correction in accordance with the red eye correcting conditions. As a result, the method is capable of effective red eye correction during the making of simultaneous prints so that high-quality images without the red-eye problem can be output in a consistent manner.
