摘要:
An image scanning apparatus which can reduce a shading distortion generated by luminous characteristics of a light source, vignetting of a lens, etc. adopts color filters having a geometrical structure which enables to counterbalance a shading distortion and is characterized in that a line sensor is vertically arranged for the radial direction of the rotary filter. The image scanning apparatus can accomplish a simple shading calibration by arranging color filters and the line sensor so that a shading distortion is calibrated geometrically.

A sensor-to-sensor distance correcting method and a circuit therefor in an image reading apparatus having a plurality of line sensors are provided. In the image reading apparatus including an image sensing means for converting optical image information into an electrical signal, an analog-to-digital converting means for converting a signal from said image sensing means into a digital signal, and a sensor-to-sensor distance correcting means, the means for correcting a distance between sensors comprises an extra-line corrector for correcting a registration error of an integer line unit among distances between sensors by housing sensor data for reading an image at a preceding position on a manuscript using red and green signal delay memories, delaying the housed sensor data until senor data at a next position is read, and reading the delayed sensor data when sensor data at the last position is read, and an intra-line corrector for correcting a decimal point unit registration error among the distances between sensors using a look-up table for housing interpolation kernel data. Therefore, a geometric image registration error generated on an input image caused by the distance between said image sensors is corrected thereby obtaining a high quality image.
