摘要:
An image reading apparatus which reads document surfaces of open book-like documents placed on a document platen in a face upward condition, the image reading apparatus comprises; a first detector which detects a height distribution of a document surface in a main scanning direction, a second detector which detects a height distribution of the document surface in a sub-scanning direction, and a direction discrimination device for discriminating whether a placement direction of the document is a main scanning direction or a sub-scanning direction based on the height distributions.
摘要:
A document reading apparatus which can determine an effective image pickup area containing no object such as operator's hands or fingers pressing a document and rectify image data prior to imaging operation, making use of a difference of the object from the document in chromaticity, luminous density, and the like.
摘要:
A document reading apparatus comprising a document table, a reading section disposed above the document table for reading a document placed on the document table. The reading section includes a sensor for detecting variations of brightness within a selected reading area of the document which is designated by light beams prior to a reading operation. This apparatus further comprises a display device for displaying the image of the selected reading area.
摘要:
An image reading apparatus which reads book-like documents placed on a document platen in a face upward condition. A first detector detects the height of the document surface by the shape of a side surface of the document, and a second detector detects the height of the document by the shape of the document surface. A discrimination device detects abnormal height data detected by the detectors, and distortion of image data output from an imaging device is corrected using height data determined to have no abnormality.
摘要:
In a document reading apparatus capable of picking up image data of documents from above position thereof, curvature of the documents is detected by measuring the height of the document surface. In accordance with the detected curvature, interpolative and expansional processing to the picked up image data is executed. Distorted image data of the documents due to the curvature is thereby corrected.
摘要:
In an image reading apparatus in which a document is read with scanning by a image pickup device, a height of the document and an outline of the document are detected. Based on the detected height and outline data, together with a calculating of a document size, an offset amount from a setting reference position of the document is calculated. Based on the calculations, the image is processed properly. Also, if the document is not placed correctly or a degree of an image distortion is not within a correctable range, an alarm is issued.

摘要:
A document reading apparatus comprising a document table, a reading section disposed above the document table for reading a document, e.g. an opened book, placed on the document table, and a linear light source for emitting light to the opened book at an angle thereto. The reading section includes a sensor for detecting an image of the light emitted to the book. This image displays a brightness distribution over surfaces of the opened book including curvatures adjacent the joint. The brightness distribution is used as a reference for rectifying an image signal corresponding to the opened book when the document image is reproduced.
摘要:
An image reader capable of outputting excellent quality read images, without illumination irregularities, similar to that of flat documents even when the document surface is curved as in the case of book-like documents. An image reader provided with a memory to store correction data to correct differences of illumination of each pixel of a document image, and which corrects the read information of each pixel in a document image using correction data corresponding to the measured height of a document surface among correction data stored in the memory. For one aspect, this image reader is constructed so as to correct a group of read information corresponding to a set of pixels arrayed in one direction by excluding specific frequencies among the illumination distribution from the set.
