Abstract: A system and method is described for automatically determining in a scanned document image the presence of unwanted extraneous information caused by an extraneous device and scanner background information. Once the presence of this information is determined, the system and method of the present invention can compute, for instance, skew and crop statistics. From this, the image can be automatically deskewed and cropped appropriately without the background and extraneous information. The system and method accomplishes this by first determining the presence of unwanted extraneous and background information and then appropriately processing the document image. The extraneous information is ignored during deskew and crop computations. Also, the scanner background and the extraneous information are prevented from being included in the final digital representation of the image.

Abstract: An optical scanning technique employs an optical sensor array for collecting image pixel data from a flat medium during a scanning cycle. A motion apparatus provides relative motion between the sensor array and the medium such that a spiral locus is defined by the sensor array relative to the media during a scanning cycle. The spiral maximum diameter may be made equal to the diagonal dimension of a rectangular media, thus allowing pixel data to be collected very close to the edge of the media, and so reducing or eliminating the area of unscannable margins on both sides and the top and bottom of the media. The motion apparatus can include a turntable for rotating the flat medium about a center of coordinates, and a translatable carriage holding the sensor array. An ink jet printhead can be mounted on the motion apparatus, to provide a multi-function scanner/printer machine.

Abstract: A magnetic tape includes plural diagonal tracks, each storing a preamble sequence close to user data such that a transducer for reading the track reads the preamble sequence immediately before reading the user data. The preamble sequence is such that when the track is read by the transducer the preamble sequence has a power sequence with a power spectrum substantially equivalent to the power spectrum of the user data. An AGC circuit responds to the transducer.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for capturing a variable length of sensory data in association with still image data. Manipulation of the camera is detected prior to image-capture, and sensory data are generated in response to detecting the manipulation. The sensory data are stored in temporary storage. When a control signal to capture a still image is active, still image data are generated and stored in non-volatile storage. A subset of the sensory data in temporary storage is selected and stored in non-volatile storage in association with the still image data.
