Abstract: Method and apparatus for scanning a target moving relatively to a scanner to obtain an image involves scanning at an oblique angle to the direction of motion and oversampling. The image is then created by rearranging the scanned pixels. Blur in the scan optics and other distortions are removed by a deconvolution process which is adapted for the oblique angle scanning.

Abstract: A light attenuating filter is introduced between a light source and a light sensor in a calibration region of a transparency scanner. The transparency scanner includes a carriage for supporting the light source, a transparent platen, and a housing for supporting the transparent platen. The light attenuating filter is placed in the calibration region either as part of a template resting on the transparent platen, as part of housing, or as part of the carriage. Light from the light source is directed through the light attenuating filter and onto the light sensor. The transparency scanner is calibrated to compensate for the attenuation of light by the light attenuating filter. Calibrating the transparency scanner includes adjusting one or more parameters for controlling the transparency scanner. Examples of parameters used for controlling the transparency scanner include light source intensity, light source exposure time, and analog and digital gain of a signal produced by the light sensor. In order to achieve a color balance in the calibration, the light attenuating filter may attenuate light of one color more than light of another color. When the transparency scanner is calibrated using this filter, color balance of the transparency scanner is adjusted.

Abstract: An additional motion is introduced into a scanning operation. This additional motion is in addition to the motion that is inherent in any document scanning operation. For example, in a flatbed scanner a linear array of scanning devices is positioned across the document in a first or nullxnull direction and this array is moved across the document in a perpendicular or nullynull direction. In a flatbed scanner the position of the scanning devices are fixed in the nullxnull direction. In a drum scanner a light beam moves across the document in an nullxnull direction and the document is moved in the nullynull direction. The light reflected from the document is directed to a fixed photoreceptor. With the present invention an additional vibratory motion is introduced into the scanning process. With a flatbed scanner the array of detector devices is moved or vibrated. The vibratory motion can for example be in the nullxnull direction. With a drum scanner the photoreceptor is moved or vibrated. For example the photodetector can be moved or vibrated in the nullxnull direction. The amount and direction of the vibratory movement can vary up to about one half the distance between units in the scanner's resolution (i.e. one half a pixel). If one is trying to eliminate Moire patterns the vibratory movement can be a pseudo random series of movements. If one is trying to introduce a special pattern into the document or to otherwise create special effects, various other type of motion can be used. Movement of the CCD array in a flatbed scanner or movement of the photoreceptor in a drum scanner can be done by a simple piezo electric transducer or by a simple mechanical cam.
