Abstract: An imaging lens good in mass-productivity, compact, low in manufacturing cost, good in aberration performance is provided by effectively correcting aberrations without greatly varying the variation of the thickness of a curing resin. An imaging device having such an imaging lens and a portable terminal are also provided. A third lens (L3) has a flat surface on the object side, a convex surface near the optical axis on the image side, and a concave aspheric surface around the peripheral portion within the region where a light beam passes. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the other optical aberrations such as distortion and simultaneously to design the imaging lens so that the astigmatism takes on a maximum value at the outermost portion. Hence, the resolutions at low to middle image heights are high. In addition, such a shape does not cause a large variation of the thickness of the third lens (L3) from the region along the axis to the periphery. Therefore, the thickness of the third lens (L3) can be small, and the material cost can be reduced.

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 “x” direction and this array is moved across the document in a perpendicular or “y” direction. In a flatbed scanner the position of the scanning devices are fixed in the “x” direction. In a drum scanner a light beam moves across the document in an “x” direction and the document is moved in the “y” 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 “x” direction. With a drum scanner the photoreceptor is moved or vibrated. For example the photodetector can be moved or vibrated in the “x” 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.

Abstract translation: 在扫描操作中引入了一个附加的动作。 这种额外的运动是除了任何文件扫描操作中固有的运动之外。 例如，在平板扫描器中，扫描装置的线性阵列以第一或“x”方向跨过文件定位，并且该阵列沿垂直或“y”方向移动穿过文件。 在平板扫描仪中，扫描装置的位置固定在“x”方向。 在鼓式扫描仪中，光束以“x”方向跨过文件移动，原稿沿“y”方向移动。 从文件反射的光被引导到固定的感光体。 利用本发明，在扫描过程中引入了额外的振动运动。 使用平板扫描器，检测器装置的阵列被移动或振动。 振动运动可以例如在“x”方向。 使用鼓式扫描器，感光体被移动或振动。 例如，光电检测器可以在“x”方向移动或振动。 振动运动的量和方向可以在扫描仪的分辨率（即，一半像素）内的单位之间的距离上变化大约一半。 如果一个人试图消除莫尔图案，振动运动可能是一个伪随机的运动系列。 如果试图在文件中引入特殊的图案或者另外产生特殊效果，则可以使用各种其他类型的运动。 CCD阵列在平板扫描仪中的移动或感光体在鼓式扫描器中的移动可以通过简单的压电换能器或简单的机械凸轮进行。

Abstract: A camera assembly for generating high resolution photograph includes a sensor assembly that has two regions of different effective resolution. Image data from multiple images that are captured with the sensor assembly are combined to generate output image data in the form of a high resolution picture. A first region of the sensor is used to capture image data for the images that are combined. A second region, that is of higher effective resolution than the first region, is used to capture image data for use in aligning the image data from the plural images prior to combination.

Abstract: An optical reading head of a scanning apparatus includes a casing, a lens, a base and a sliding frame. The base is used to support an image sensing module and movable on the casing. The sliding frame is coupled with the base for fixing and driving the lens to move along a gliding track on the casing. During the focusing operation, the lens' position is adjustable by moving the sliding frame and the optical signals are clearly imaged onto the image sensor of the imaging sensing module. During the magnification correcting operation, positions of the lens and the imaging sensing module are adjustable by moving the base and the tolerance of magnification for the optical reading head would be equal to or less than an acceptable preset value.

Abstract: A document reader includes an image sensor. The image sensor is movable in a secondary scanning direction and rotatable about a rotational axis extending in a primary scanning direction, and obtains image information from a region facing a light-receiving surface. Rotation of the image sensor is controlled based on distance information about a distance between a document surface and a platen in such a manner as to make an image distance fall within a depth-of-field range of the image sensor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for acquiring and using three-dimensional imaging data to improve the process of scanning bound documents are disclosed. The system includes a camera for capturing an image of documents such as books, and a second camera for gathering data regarding the first camera's field of view. Signal processing logic analyzes the data gathered by the second camera and uses it to determine whether the imaging camera's view was obstructed. If it is determined that the imaging camera's view was obstructed, then remedial action can be taken, such as removing the obstruction, recapturing the image, and/or flagging the image for further processing. The second camera may include a laser range finder, a scanning laser range finder, an ultrasonic range finder, a device that utilizes auto-focus range finding technology, a binocular camera array, and/or a trinocular camera array.

Abstract: A period when a relative movement between a document, and each of the pixel rows by a certain distance in the vertical direction is made is defined as a frame period, and the frame period is divided into a given number (i) of H periods. A certain H period is allocated as a readout period of each of the pixel rows so that each of the pixel rows reads an identical line of a document, depending on a vertical resolution set by a resolution setter.
