    摘要: An image reading apparatus which is capable of successfully reading an image off an original by correctly detecting a size of the original without degrading productivity even if mixed-size originals are placed on an original tray with edges not aligned. An image reading unit reads an image off an original passing through a reading position. An original size detection sensor detects an original. A first original size is determined using a result of detection by the original size detection sensor, and a second original size is determined using the image read off the original. The first original size or the second original size is adopted as an original size.

    摘要: An original image is read as an aggregate of a plurality of pixels in which adjacent pixels have different colors (R, G, and B) in a main scanning direction and in a sub-scanning direction, and the read pixels of the respective colors are stored in a line memory in association with information on relative positions of the pixels with respect to another pixel. Then, the stored pixels are sorted so that pixels having the same color are adjacent to each other, and an abnormal pixel (dust) not present in the original image is detected based on the state of the sorted pixels. With this, the dust not present in the original image is detected without increasing the cost, and the dust is corrected without forming a conspicuous trace of correction.

    摘要: An optical sensor includes a first LED, a second LED, a first PD, and a second PD. The first LED and the second LED are configured to irradiate an optical-axis center point of an intermediate transfer belt. The first PD is arranged at a position at which specularly reflected light of light emitted from the first LED and diffused reflected light of light emitted from the second LED are received. The second PD is arranged at a position at which diffused reflected light of the light emitted from the first LED is received.

    摘要: Provided is an image reading apparatus configured to recognize edge portions of an image of an original precisely without being influenced by the varying state of the four sides of the original. The image reading apparatus includes an image reading unit configured to read the original image by scanning the original, an edge determining unit configured to determine first edge locations at the left end and right end of the original image in a main scanning direction, an edge detector configured to detect a second edge location of the original image in a sub-scanning direction, a tilt expression calculator configured to calculate a linear expression that represents the amount of inclination of the original image with respect to the main scanning direction.

    摘要: In the original reading apparatus configured to store the image data in the image storing unit such as temporary storage memory, time required to complete the overwriting for erasure is reduced. The image data read by the image reading unit is stored in the image data storing unit and the stored image data is output. To hold data stored in the image data storing unit, refresh processing, which is to perform processing intermittently required to hold the data stored in the image data storing unit, is performed at a predetermined execution frequency. After the image data is output, frequency to execute the refresh processing is reduced as compared to a predetermined execution frequency to perform writing of the dummy data.
