摘要:
Disclosed is an image processing apparatus that receives image data scanned by first and second image scanning units and performs various image processing. The apparatus includes first and second blank-sheet detection units that detect whether the scanned image data represent a blank sheet. The image processing apparatus determines storage or deletion of the scanned image data based on detection results of the blank-sheet detection units.
摘要:
Shading correction is effected by partitioning a white standard surface into a plurality of scanning blocks having the same number of scanning lines, scanning the standard surface by block to determine block median values in a first processing stage, determining global median values from the block median values in a second processing stage, and subjecting objective image data read from a given original image to arithmetic such as proportioning calculation. With the two-stage processing, shading distortion caused due to nonuniformity in sensitivity of an image scanning system can be rationally and reliably corrected to a high degree with a simple processing circuit.

A selectively operable optical path is provided to permit visual display of a character that cannot be recognized by an optical character recognition machine. Visual display of such characters permits visual observation of the enlarged character by an operator who, if he recognizes the character can insert it by a keyboard mechanism and if he cannot recognize it he may reject the document as unintelligible.

A printer module includes a body that defines a print media feed path and a feed opening to permit print media to be positioned in the print media feed path. A pagewidth printing mechanism is positioned in the body to carry out a printing operation on the print media. At least one modular connector is arranged on the body to permit at least an image processing module to be connected to the body. A bus interconnects the printing mechanism and the image processing module to facilitate communication between the printing mechanism and the image processing module.
摘要:
A character data search system which utilizes a plurality of small area scans which are located according to the probability that the field containing the desired information to be recognized is in a given location on the documents. Furthermore, the field is recognized by indicating key characteristics contained therein. The scanning of the field is of a multiple scan type and the scans may partially overlap each other depending upon the characteristics being searched for and the probability of finding the desired data in a given location. Also, for documents of varying size, the location of the scans may be made a function of document size.
摘要:
A mark sense card reader employs dual-threshold circuitry to indicate the presence, absence or inability to determine the presence or absence of marks such as pencil marks on a card. The circuitry includes a light-sensing transducer coupled to first and second differential amplifiers. The first such amplifier produces an indication only when a mark is definitely present. The second such amplifier produces an indication both when a mark is present and when the light level is such that no decision can be made as to whether or not a mark is present. The presence of this last indication concurrently with the absence of the other such indication means that no decision can be reached as to whether or not a mark is present. This situation may occur in cases of a poor erasure, or very light marks and in such cases the circuitry of the present disclosure causes the card to be rejected.
