    摘要: A photoelectric conversion device having plural photoelectric conversion pixels includes an imaging unit, a position identifying unit, an interpolation determining unit, and an interpolation processing unit. The imaging unit generates image data for each of plural colors based on light received in the photoelectric conversion pixels. The position identifying unit detects in the photoelectric conversion pixels a defective pixel outputting an electrical signal at an abnormal level, and stores position information of the defective pixel. The interpolation deter mining unit determines, based on respective pixel values of peripheral pixels peripheral to the defective pixel, whether to perform an interpolation process on the defective pixel. The interpolation processing unit performs the interpolation process on the defective pixel when the interpolation determining unit determines to perform the interpolation process on the defective pixel. The interpolation process approximates the electrical signal of the defective pixel to an electrical signal at a normal level.

    摘要: An image processing apparatus includes a scanning unit, a gloss detecting unit, and a glossy information processing unit. The scanning unit includes a light source and is configured to scan a document to be scanned at a first illumination position not resulting in halation caused by light of the light source output to the document, and scan the document at a second illumination position resulting in halation caused by the light output to the document. The gloss detecting unit is configured to detect a glossy portion of the document based on images scanned at the first illumination position and the second illumination position. The glossy information processing unit is configured to perform a predetermined process by using information represented by the detected glossy portion.

    摘要: A controller controls a scanner unit of an image reading device to read a section of an original document that corresponds to an image reading area specified by a user, when a user instruction for setting the image reading area is received. The controller causes the scanner unit to move to an image reading start position in a sub-scanning direction as specified by a user instruction. When a user instruction for starting image reading is received, the controller causes the scanner unit to start reading the section of the original document from the image reading start position.

    摘要: A signal correction device includes a correction signal generator configured to generate a correction signal serving to remove noise superimposed on an input signal; a phase adjuster configured to shift a phase of the correction signal generated by the correction signal generator; a subtractor configured to generate an output signal for output by subtracting the correction signal from the input signal; a peak and bottom detector configured to detect a peak value and a bottom value of the output signal; and a determiner configured to determine a phase-shift amount of the phase adjuster from the peak value and the bottom value of the output signal detected by the peak and bottom detector. The determiner detects uncorrected noise from the peak value and the bottom value of the output signal from the subtractor, and sets the phase-shift amount such that the uncorrected noise is reduced to a minimum.
