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 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:
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.

An image processing apparatus permits easy changing of the file name of an image file created by an image taking apparatus. A personal computer serving as the image processing apparatus is fed with an image file created by a digital camera, and replaces a first character string included in the file name of the image file with a second character string. The first character string consists only of characters usable in a file name on the digital camera, and the second character string consists of characters selected among all the characters usable on the personal computer. The first and second character strings are entered via a keyboard, and are stored, in the form of a look-up table that lists their correspondence, in a hard disk.
摘要:
An image capturing apparatus capable of performing a suitable illuminance nonuniformity correction by setting a suitable γ-characteristic every block even in the case that the size of a character image projected on a sensing surface changes according to an image capturing magnification, and capable of extracting a boundary area between a white board portion and a background portion and applying a suitable image processing to this boundary area during the illuminance nonuniformity correction for a picked image, and capable of image capturing a representation such as characters drawn on a white board in such a manner that an obtained image is clear and easy to see by suitably performing an illuminance nonuniformity correction even in the case of color image capturing, and capable of detecting a regularly reflected light with high accuracy and can thereby securely prevent an error of obtaining an image of low quality by image capturing, and capable of preventing an error in flash-image capturing a representation such as characters drawn on a white board under insufficient illumination light and effectively perform an illuminance nonuniformity correction.
