Abstract: A docking station is provided. The docking station has a base with a digital camera receiving area adapted to position a digital camera so that the digital camera is directed at an object mount. The object mount is adapted to position a subject object at a distance of less than one meter from a lens system of the digital camera. A communication circuit is adapted to exchange data between the dock controller and a camera controller in the digital camera when the digital camera is in the digital camera receiving area. The exchange of data causes the camera controller to adapt a setting of an image capture system in the camera for the capture of an image of the subject object.

Abstract: The image reading system comprises an image reading device and a computer, which can be connected to the image reading device to operate it. In the image reading device, a film, in which an image is recorded, is regularly intermittently moved, so that the image is read by a line sensor. In a pre-scanning operation, the film is moved with a pitch which is coarser than that of a regular scanning operation, so that a pre-view image is read by the line sensor, and is displayed on a screen of a liquid crystal display device. A control bar, indicated on the screen along with the pre-view image, is operated by handling a track ball and a click button, so that an image quality of the pre-view image is adjusted. Namely, even in a stand-alone mode in which the image reading device is operated independently from the computer, the image quality of the pre-view image can be adjusted.

Abstract: The color correcting method and the image reading apparatus estimate a spectral sensitivity characteristic of an image reading apparatus using a measured value obtained by measuring a reference original with a preset measuring instrument or a characteristic value of the reference original and a statistic calculated by analyzing an image signal value obtained by reading the reference original with the image reading apparatus, create an input color correction parameter from the estimated spectral sensitivity characteristic and correct an image signal of an original image read with the image reading apparatus using the input color correction parameter. As a result, according to the method and the apparatus, when the original image is photoelectrically read, the dispersion of the spectral sensitivities of scanners (image reading apparatus) can be preferably corrected, whereby images of high quality in which appropriate colors are reproduced can be stably reproduced in a digital photoprinter and the like.

Abstract: A scanner system digitizes 35 mm transparencies or negatives, and converts the image to a format compatible with popular microcomputer systems. This scanner system can accommodate various formats, and has variable zoom, pan and window size. Color separation is accomplished by an illumination arrangement causing rapid sequential generation of red, green and blue components. A low wattage light source is used, and color balance is achieved by adjusting the respective exposure times of the three primary colors. The system has internal calibration to achieve repeatable color balance. The system implements a wide variety of color coding schemes ranging in resolution from 1 to 24 bits. An adaptive process compresses the data in order to optimize the color selection process. The illumination optics are anamorphotic for high efficiency. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible with a conventional 51/4" floppy disk drive standard.
