Abstract: A camera-based document scanning system produces electronic versions of documents, based on a plurality of images of discrete portions of the documents. The system compares each pair of consecutive images and derives motion parameters that indicate the relative motion between each pair of consecutive images. The system utilizes the derived motion parameters to align and merge each image with respect to the previous images, thereby building a single, mosaic image of the document. In the illustrative embodiment, the motion parameters are derived by minimizing a sum of squared differences equation on a pixel-by-pixel basis.

Abstract: An electronic image capture apparatus is disclosed comprising: an electronic camera (2) having a detector (3), a lens (4) having a field of view which is adapted to limit the radiation incident upon the detector to that within the field of view, an actuator (7) for moving the field of view across the document, a control means (20) for controlling the actuator to move the camera across the document so as to obtain a set of overlapping sub-images corresponding to different areas of the document, and electronic processing means adapted to receive the set of sub-images produced by the camera and to process the sub-images to form a composite image of the portion of the document covered by the set of sub-images. A set of processable sub-image files are produced which each comprise a data set of characters corresponding to characters appearing in a respective sub-image in the set and the relative location of the characters in that sub-image. The contents of each of the processable sub-image files are stitched into a blank text document by applying logical operators to the data in the files to produce a complete composite text document containing data indicative of the textual content of the scanned document.

Abstract: A TV camera unit is supported by a camera support member having an arm-receiving hole into which an arm is inserted. When a camera support shaft protruded upward from a camera base of the camera support member is fitted into a downward attitude holding aperture that is formed in the front face of the TV camera unit to be parallel to the optical axis of a lens of the TV camera unit, the TV camera unit is supported by the camera base and set at a downward shooting position where the lens faces downward. When the camera support shaft is fitted into a horizontal attitude holding aperture that is formed in the bottom face of the TV camera unit to be perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens, the TV camera unit is set at a horizontal shooting position where the lens faces in the horizontal direction.

Abstract: In an image scanner, a controller is responsive to a start command for line-scanning a document to produce a line-scan signal and providing a display of the line-scan signal on a viewing screen. While this sequence proceeds from a start position towards the end of a full scan, the user is allowed to reposition the document by viewing the screen if its orientation needs correction. The process continues until a stop command is produced or until the line-scan reaches the end of the full scan area, whichever is earlier. In response to the stop command, the controller restarts the line-scanning and display sequence from the start position to provide a full-scan of the material.

Abstract translation: 在图像扫描器中，控制器响应于用于对文档进行行扫描的开始命令以产生行扫描信号并且在观看屏幕上提供行扫描信号的显示。 当该序列从开始位置向全扫描结束时，如果其方向需要校正，则允许用户通过观察屏幕重新定位文档。 该过程继续，直到产生停止命令，或者直到行扫描到达完整扫描区域的末尾（以较早者为准）。 响应于停止命令，控制器从起始位置重新启动行扫描和显示顺序，以提供材料的全扫描。
