Abstract: Multiple enhancements are provided to a smart copy function of an imaging device to improve performance by making it operate in a time efficient manner. The enhancements include determining pre-positioning of the scan bar based upon the content type setting in the user interface. The smart copy function is also enhanced by determining when to implement and implementing a second pre-scan at a higher resolution when misidentification occurs. Another enhancement uses original size and edge to edge properties to determine content of the original document, which then allows optimal selection of the final copy scan and print parameters.

The method generally includes positioning the pattern on a support, capturing images using cameras to be calibrated, each image containing at least a unique orientation and position sensitive sub-area of the pattern, determining a set of coordinate pairs of corresponding points in the image and the pattern for each image utilizing image data and pattern information, and performing optimization utilizing the sets of coordinate pairs to calibrate relative position, orientation, zoom, and/or lens distortion, etc. of each camera so as to construct a three-dimensional camera calibration model. The pattern is generally comprised of overlapping sub-areas of a minimum portion of the pattern.

Abstract: A scanner including a casing, a scanning platform, a scanning module and a positioning plate is provided. The scanning platform is embedded in the casing and exposes a surface to carry a to-be-scanned document. The scanning module is disposed under the scanning platform. The positioning plate disposed on an inner wall of the casing is adjacent to a top side of the scanning platform. The scanning module is for capturing images of the positioning plate and the inner wall and for identifying the image corresponding to one x-axis side of the positioning plate. The scanner defines a scanning start line according to the image corresponding to the x-axis side. The scanning module is moved from the scanning start line along a y-axis direction and captures an image of the to-be-scanned document. The x-axis side and the scanning start line are perpendicular to the y-axis direction perpendicular to the top side.
