Abstract:
A scanner comprising a shell with a rut, and a lens arm matching the shape of rut connected with the shell through a revolving shaft. The scanner makes a 180 degree rotation orbiting with the revolving shaft. Lens arm and shell are vertical when in use, resembling the expansion structure of “7.” A flexible pole is retracted when out of use, and the lens arm is folded into the rut of shell. The lens arm and flexible pole are connected by metal revolving shaft as a connecting part, both of which can be set up in the shell to avoid the horizontal bar drooping or being upswept.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus is provided that can prevent image streaks due to dirt, stain or the like from being produced in an image of an original that is read while being conveyed. The image reading apparatus (A) includes an ADF (40) having a scanner unit (59) incorporated therein and comprised of a cylinder (60) having an outer peripheral surface thereof on which a plurality of read pixels (61) are arranged in a matrix. In reading an original (D), the scanner unit is rotatably driven in an original conveying direction at a circumferential speed approximately equal to an original conveying speed, and reads image information on the original passing through an image reading position (P1).
Abstract:
A device includes a processing system having a processor and a memory and an image capture component coupled to the processing system. The image capture component is configured to receive an image of a subject region within a field of view and an image of a control region within the field of view. The processing system is configured to process the image of the control region as a user input for processing the image of the subject region.
Abstract:
A captured image projection apparatus obtains projection parameters and image effect correction parameters from a moving image captured at a low resolution in a task different from a task in which capturing of a high-resolution still image is to be performed, when a change ceases to occur in the moving image and before the capturing of the high-resolution still image is started. The apparatus changes the scale of the obtained projection parameters from one for low-resolution image to one for high-resolution image. The apparatus applies an image conversion process and an image effect process to the captured high-resolution still image by using the projection parameters and image effect correction parameters obtained before the still image is captured. Thereby, the captured image projection apparatus shortens the time required from the capturing of the image to projection thereof.
Abstract:
A document camera includes a base, a first arm, a second arm, and a camera head assembly. The base includes control electronics. The first arm is connected at a first end to a side of the base utilizing a first hinge. The second arm is connected at a first end to a second end of the first arm utilizing the second hinge. The camera head assembly is connected at a first end to a second end of the second arm utilizing the third hinge. The camera head assembly includes a lens adjuster and an imaging sensor and movement of the lens adjuster changes an orientation of the imaging sensor. The first side of the first arm is connected to a first side of the base and a second side of the first arm is connected to the second hinge.
Abstract:
A document presentation device 10 includes a video signal controller 50 adapted to output a video signal of a video image for display on a display unit 40; and a remote controller RC. The video signal controller 50 includes a video signal processing unit 60 for creating a live video image within the field captured by an image sensor 31a; and a capture control unit that upon receiving an instruction from a capture instruction portion of the remote controller RC, on the basis of the picture signal of the image sensor 31a, creates a still image reduced in size relative to the field of capture and displays the still image in a capture window PiW superimposed on the live video image; and that upon receiving an instruction from a position instruction unit changes the display position of the capture window.
Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus includes a support assembly, a holding member, and an image capturing member. The support assembly includes a base member and a support member. The support member is configured for receiving a paper printed photo. The holding member is rotatably connected to the support member. The image capturing member is mounted on a bottom surface of the holding member. When the holding member is kept in an open position, the image capturing member is activated to capture an image of the paper printed photo received in the base member.
Abstract:
The user assistance system provides a system and method for capturing images of a document and interaction of a primary user with the document in an interaction session. Briefly described, one embodiment comprises an image capture means adapted to capture an initial image of the document and at least one subsequent, additional image of the document during an interaction session, the image being mapped to a known co-ordinate system, interaction capture means for capturing the interaction of a user with the document whereby to determine at least one co-ordinate of a pointer used for the interaction relative to the same co-ordinate system defined for the initial captured image, and processing means for determining an appropriate transform that maps the additional image onto the original image.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a portable magnifier camera that can be selectively positioned into a variety of configurations. At least four distinct viewing configurations are provided: a reading mode wherein the camera rests flatly upon the viewed object; a writing mode wherein the camera rests at an angle upon the viewed object; a hand-held mode wherein the user holds the camera relative to a distant object; and an inspection mode wherein the user holds the viewed object relative to the camera. These configurations enable a user to effectively view objects of differing size and at varying distances.
