    摘要: An image reading device includes linear image sensors that are arranged so that adjacent image sensors include an overlapping region in which portions of reading regions of the adjacent image sensors overlap in a main scanning direction, and a buffer unit for read image data. Image data of each overlapping region are generated by synthesizing first image data obtained by a first linear image sensor and second image data obtained by a second linear sensor, the first linear image sensor and the second linear sensor being adjacent in the main scanning direction. Image data of the predetermined line is generated based on image data in which the image data of each overlapping region are excluded from the image data stored in the buffer unit and the image data of each overlapping region. The processing is repeatedly executed in a sub-scanning direction.

    摘要: The present invention provides a control method of an image reading device, an image reading device, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having a program stored thereon, which avoid a reduction in reading resolution. The control method of the image reading device includes: a first step (ST101) of generating N line-shaped images indicating N line-shaped regions (W11) in an imaging target (T1) being conveyed in a conveying direction (X1) by imaging the N line-shaped regions (W11) extending in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction (X1); a second step (ST102) of performing the same step as the first step (ST101) at a point in time when the imaging target (T1) is conveyed by an amount associated to a width (11a) of N−1 line-shaped regions; and a step (ST103) of generating a read image by arranging the N line-shaped images generated in each of the steps in ascending order.

    摘要: Then image reading device includes a transparent document table, a frame, a reading unit, a moving mechanism, a white reference member, and a controller. The frame is provided around a peripheral of the document table. The white reference member is provided on the frame adjacent to the document table in the sub scanning direction and has a length in the main scanning direction longer than the document table. The reading unit includes a first reading part which reads an area corresponding to the document table and a second reading part which reads an area corresponding to the frame. The controller detects a boundary between the frame and the reference member based on a read value of the second reading part while moving the reading unit by the moving mechanism, and positions the reading unit at a home position apart from the boundary by a predetermined distance.

    摘要: An image scanning apparatus, and a method and an apparatus for controlling receiving of an image scanning optical signal are provided. The mage scanning apparatus may include an array photosensitive pixel unit configured to receive at least one optical signal, and a control circuit connected with the array photosensitive pixel unit and configured to control the array photosensitive pixel unit to receive the at least one optical signal. With the adoption of the image scanning apparatus, and the method and the apparatus for controlling receiving of the image scanning optical signal, the problem in the related art that an image is easily interfered by external stray lights within a non-exposure time of a scanning period and accordingly quality of a scanned image is reduced may be solved.

    摘要: An image reading device includes light guides (5, 6) that emit light to an object to be read, a lens body (8) that condenses reflected light, a light receiver (13) that receives the reflected light, a sensor board (24) on which is mounted the light receiver (13), a lens holder (11), and a housing (9) that houses or holds these components. The lens holder (11) includes a holder bottom (11g), light guide positioners (11a, 11b) and lens body holders (11e, 11f). In the lens holder (11), the lens body (8) is attached between the lens body holders (11e, 11f), the sensor board (24) is attached to the holder bottom (11g) such that the light receiver (13) aligns with an optical axis of the lens body (8), and the light guides (5, 6) are attached to the light guide positioners (11a, 11b). A surface of each light guide positioner (11a, 11b) that faces the corresponding light guide (5, 6) to be attached has at least a portion having a same shape a s a shape of a surface of the light guide.
