Abstract: Collage making apparatus for assisting in the production of a collage by duplication apparatus may comprise a layout area contained within the collage making apparatus. The layout area accommodates at least one object that is to be contained in the collage. The collage making apparatus is convertible between a layout mode and a duplication mode. During the layout mode, the layout area is observable by a user so that the user may observe an arrangement of the at least one object within the layout area. During the duplication mode, the layout area is reproducible by the duplication apparatus so that the duplication apparatus produces a copy of the arrangement of the at least one object within the layout area.

Abstract: An improved flatbed scanner comprises a frame transparent scanner and a cradle having a lid. The frame transparent scanner is a stand-alone portable scanner that can scan both transparent and opaque scanning objects. When the frame transparent scanner is rested in the cradle, a flatbed scanner, appearing as a regular flatbed scanner, is structured. The operations are no different from that of the regular flatbed scanner. One of the advantages and benefits of the disclosed flatbed scanner is that a user no longer has to have two scanners, typically one for mobile applications and one for stationary applications. With the current disclosed flatbed scanner, the user can take the frame transparent scanner off the cradle for the mobile applications and rest the frame transparent scanner in the cradle for office uses.

Abstract: A wall mounted scanner for large and small format transmissive X-ray films and any type of transmissive media, that incorporates a viewing light box into the case to view the media before and after scanning. Transmissive media are defined as any type of media that passes light through it, specifically images on transparent film. Scanning light source can also be moved so that the unit can scan reflective media. The scanner has an external light source that shines through the media onto a lens/CCD camera. The media is transported under the light source for scanning and then it is brought back to the viewer for immediate comparison to the scanned image which is displayed on the computer monitor. The entire scanner is mounted vertically. Scanning and viewing is done in the vertical plane to allow for minimal contact between the media and scanner. It is possible to pivot the light source below the media to be scanned in order to scan reflective media.

Abstract: A scanning device for a computer includes a case body, a transparent scanning panel, a transparent viewing panel, and a scanning module unit. The case body includes a broad upper wall and a broad lower wall, and has a columnar hollow space which extends downwardly from the broad upper wall to the broad lower wall so as to form upper and lower annular edge portions respectively in the upper and lower walls. The upper and lower walls respectively define upper and lower annular openings. The scanning panel is fitted to the upper annular edge portion to cover the upper annular opening and defines a scanning area with a first size indicating mark. The viewing panel is fitted to the lower annular edge portion to cover the lower annular opening so as to define a viewing area through which the first size indicating mark is visible. The scanning module unit is disposed in the case body for producing a scanning line on the image and transforms the scanned image into a digital representation for processing by the computer.

Abstract: An image sensing apparatus reliably indicates an image sensing area regardless of the size of an object. In the apparatus, illumination units 14 irradiate spot lights 36 on a base 7 to indicate an image sensing area 37 for sensing an original 6 by a camera head 9. The image sensing area indicated by the spot lights 36, irradiated from laser devices 33 of the illumination units 14, attached to the camera head 9, is corresponding to the length/width ratio of the image screen of a monitor 3. A luminance signal level, stored in a memory of a system controller 15, on image sensing the base, is compared with the level of a luminance signal from an image sensing device 25, and when the signal levels do not coincide, it is determined that an original exists on the base. Further, the system controller 15 independently changes first to fourth spot lights 110 to 113 irradiated from the first to fourth illumination units.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an imaging lens, an area image sensor having solid-state imaging elements arranged in a planar manner, and an imaging device for converting an image of an imaging object read by the area image sensor into image information. The imaging device is switchable between an electronic camera function mode and image scanner function mode. When the device is switched into the electronic camera function mode, the image information for one frame is outputted, whereas when the imaging device is switched into the image scanner function mode, the image information derived when an object to be read is manually scanned by the area image sensor in response to a moving amount of the manual scanning operation is outputted as continuous image information. Image information may thus be acquired over a wide range by employing a single image information processing apparatus.

Abstract: A scanning device and method for forming a scanned electronic image include using navigation information that is acquired along with image data, and then rectifying the image data based upon the navigation and image information. The navigation information is obtained in frames. The differences between consecutive frames are detected and accumulated, and this accumulated displacement value is representative of a position of the scanning device relative to a reference. The image data is then positioned-tagged using the position data obtained from the accumulated displacement value. To avoid the accumulation of errors, the accumulated displacement value obtained from consecutive frames is updated by comparing a current frame with a much earlier frame stored in memory and using the resulting difference as the displacement from the earlier frame. These larger displacement steps are then accumulated to determine the relative position of the scanning device.

Abstract: A hand-held housing contains an image sensor, a processor, a memory, a visual display and input control buttons for recording, storing, displaying and retrieving images from a document, such as a business card. The image sensor generates electrical data signals representative of the image on a document as the housing is moved across the document in a scanning embodiment or the images on a document disposed beneath the housing in a single record embodiment, which signals are stored in the memory by the processor and concurrently displayed on the display. The input control buttons, through the control program executed by the processor, provide for scanning, storage and retrieval of images from memory for display. The processor stores the images in a linked list or lists in the memory and is capable of rearranging, adding or deleting any image associated with a particular document in any list in the memory.
