Abstract:
A scanning auxiliary frame includes a frame and a window sash hinged on the frame. There is a torsional spring close to the hinged location of the frame and window sash. The window sash is urged by the torsional spring and opened in normal condition when it is not retained by a bolt assembly located on the frame. Thus the window sash can be opened easily, to remove a document from a windowpane of the frame.
Abstract:
A clamp for fixing a photographic slide and/or a photographic negative includes a carrier and a cover for fixing the slide or negative onto the carrier. The carrier includes a first guide for holding the negative, and a second guide extended from the first guide for holding the photographic slide.
Abstract:
A transparency adapter for use with a scanner comprising a scanner light source, a scanner platen and a scanner lid. The transparency adapter comprises a light table comprising a stationary light source separate from the scanner light source. The stationary light source comprises a light table operating state for illuminating transparent media for viewing and a transparency adapter operating state for illuminating transparent media while it is being scanned by the scanner, thereby creating a scanned image of the transparent media, the scanned image having an output orientation. The transparency adapter further comprises at least one mounting device on the light table to hold the transparent media in an input orientation during the light table operating state.
Abstract:
The image scanning system (52) of the present invention scans slides and film strips containing photographic images and creates a corresponding plurality of digital representations of the photographic images. The system (52) includes a touch screen monitor (96), a computer (54), a scanner (62), a high speed interface (112) and a printer (98). The scanner (62) includes a light source (172) for projecting light through the film strip. A light sensor (124) senses the light projected through the film strip and generates pixel data. A film drive advances the film strip between the light source (172) and the light sensor (124). A lens located between the light source and the light sensor directs the light projected through the film strip onto the light sensor (124). The pixel data is transmitted through the high speed interface (112) to the computer (54) for processing operations. After the pixel data has been processed, digital images are displayed on the monitor (96) and may also be printed out.

Abstract:
The invention provides a device that appends a recognition point for image joining to the extracted image and a recognition element thereof. The device is to provide a plurality of holding slots on a holding platform. Besides, a plurality of positioning slots is provided at the sidewall of each holding slot so that the holding slot can accommodate and fasten an object to be image-taken. Then, when the image of the object is extracted by the segmented extractions, the image of the positioning slot can also be extracted so as to obtain an image with a recognition mark. Thus, the recognition mark can be used as a benchmark for image joining in order to obtain a whole image of the object. Moreover, the recognition element is to provide a positioning opening concavely at the side edge of a sheet-body, and the positioning opening is tiny. Therefore, the invention can achieve an effect of easy, rapid, and precise image joining.
Abstract:
In order to accurately perform correction of focal distance and color of film before pre-scanning, the image at the generally center area of the first frame of film is read in a first pre-scan, auto-focusing and judgment between negative/positive is made, exposure parameters are set in a second pre-scanning, and the image is read in main scanning.
Abstract:
A transporting system for an image digitizer can handle both positive and negative transparent film material. The transport features accurate linear motion with high resolution in a single compact unit. For the processing of individually framed slides, an automatic eject mechanism is provided. Both manual and motor driven focus adjustments are provided. Individual images can be oriented by an angular adjustment option. A special carrier allows the system to process negatives in uncut strips. The transport can manage larger number of images using either a slide tray or roll feed attachment.
Abstract:
A film scanner apparatus which is capable of accepting a plurality of film pictures different in film scene size from each other. The film scanner apparatus includes a line sensor for reading out a picture on the film scene, a scene size decision section for determining the size of the film scene and a selection section for selecting effective pixels of the line sensor in accordance with the decision result of the scene size decision section. A picture display is made on the basis of the outputs of the effective pixels chosen by the selection section.
Abstract:
An image input device capable of: reading images on 35 mm film and images on another type of film contained in a new photo system-adapted cartridge; converting the images into digital image signals; and, feeding the signals into a computer. The device is constructed in such a manner that one selected between film adaptors (100, 300) can be loaded in a groove portion (2) of a main device body. The film adaptor (100) can retain 35 mm film (401, 402), while the film adaptor (300) can retain a new photo system-adapted cartridge film (403). The images on the loaded film are read by a linear CCD image sensor (9) being caused to execute scanning. This scanning results in the digital image signals which then are fed into a computer and the like.
