Abstract:
An apparatus for digital correction in an image system is disclosed. The present invention comprises pre-processing means for automatically adjusting dc gain of an image signal; an analogue-to-digital converter for converting the adjusted image signal to a digital signal; bit-enhancing means for generating a bit-enhanced signal; and post-processing means for generating an image code by processing the bit-enhanced signal through highlight, shadow, Gamma and shading correction. The present invention provides an improved apparatus for correcting the photo-response non-uniformity, avoiding image defect, without sacrificing the accuracy of the image system.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses an optical system with multiple optical lens having capability of auto-focus calibration, instead of conventional scheme of manual operations. Furthermore, achieve purpose of obtaining more accuracy in sharpness and magnification calibration than the conventionally scheme, and of upgrading yield rate of the system. The optical system disclosed by the invention basically includes a lot of home-sensors and micro-sensors, lots of lens, an image sensor, an imaging control motor, a lens switch motor for switching the lens, and a base control motor for switching base of the optical system. By using the imaging control motor and the base control motor to control motions of the imaging device and the lens, auto sharpness and magnification calibration is easily achieved.
Abstract:
A high efficiency multi-image scanning method is disclosed. It involves the use of a special scanning window, or panel, containing a plurality of rectangular fields provided therein. The scanning window also contains a plurality of fiducial marks which associates each rectangular field, respectively, with a pre-defined location relative to the fiducial mark and a pre-defined scanning area. Prior to the scanning operation, a plurality of documents to be scanned are placed inside the rectangular fields. A pre-scan operation is performed to find and identify the fiducial mark. Then the scanner is moved to a selected rectangular field according to the information contained in the fiducial mark to scan an image having the pre-defined scanning area. Optionally, the method further contains the step of determining whether an image is present in the rectangular field, and if so, then adjusting the scanning area to compensate for any inadvertent misplacement of the image in the rectangular field.
Abstract:
A lens switching apparatus for a dual-lens optical scanner includes a base, a plurality of magnetic elements, a plurality of electromagnetic elements, a guiding assembly and a slide block. Two optical lens with different magnification are mounted on the slide block. The slide block may be moved and positioned in one direction when one of the electromagnetic element attracting one adjacent magnetic element while another electromagnetic element repulsive another adjacent magnetic element. The dual-lens mounted on the slide block thus can be switched as desired for scanning process.
Abstract:
A scanning device for a color optical reader suitable for high speed single-pass scanning and size reduction, comprising a color charge-coupled-device (CCD) to sense and output red, green and blue signals; a driving circuitry to control the magnitude of the output image signals from the CCD; a color separation circuitry to select the desired color signal; a color pixel arrangement circuitry to convert the color data from a line sequence to a pixel sequence and a positioning mechanism to drive the CCD sensor to a predetermined position.The present invention can improve the effectiveness of single-pass scanning and output color signals while reducing the cost of the entire system.

Abstract:
An apparatus for capturing a document with a plurality of compression models comprises an image-processing system and an image-capturing system. The image-processing system is for accepting a request of setting the compression models for the document and processing the data of the document according to the compression models, wherein the request is from an exterior electric device connected to the apparatus. The image-capturing system is for capturing the data of the document, and is connected to the image-processing system and comprises multitudes of optic devices. The method for capturing the document with these compression models comprises accepting a request of setting the compression models for the document; capturing the data of the document; and processing the data of the document with these compression models.
Abstract:
Apparatus for projecting a display interface on a remote screen comprises a means such as scanning device for capturing the display interface comprising a visual pointer appearing on the remote screen. The visual pointer is positioned to reference a subject portion of the display interface and produced by a pointer device. The apparatus comprises another a means such as a projector for projecting display content on the remote screen according to the capturing means. The display content is corresponding to the subject portion of the display interface and directly displayed after the scanning of capturing means.
Abstract:
A method for capturing images useful in a scanning system is provided. The present method comprises performing a preview scan of a picture and then displaying the preview image of the picture on a screen. Selecting a scanning area of the preview image and simultaneously performing a first normal scan of the picture from an initial scanning position relative to the picture. When the scanned area of the first normal scan corresponds to the selected scanning area, the scan image produced by the first normal scan is displayed. Otherwise, a second normal scan of a portion of the picture that corresponds to the selected scanning area is performed to produce a final scan image.
Abstract:
