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: An autofeeder and media object digitization system. A receptacle for media objects is coupled to align a first wall with a clip to hold the media object. A suction device forming part of the first wall sucks a media object against a suction plate. The suction plate then moves the media object into engagement with the clip. The clip is driven to move the media object past a scanning window. A release lever or the clip is triggered to release the media object after it has passed the scanning window.

Abstract: An image reading device in which a processing time required for prescanning and fine-scanning of a film can be shortened. A reading system for prescanning which performs prescanning and a reading system for fine-scanning which performs fine-scanning are adjacently juxtaposed on a conveying path of a photographic film. Prescanning is carried out by the reading system for prescanning, which is structured such that light that is emitted from a light source is transmitted through the photographic film, which is conveyed at a constant speed which is suitable for fine-scanning, the light is detected by a linear CCD, and frame images at the photographic film are thereby preliminarily read. Then, fine-scanning is carried out with the photographic film being conveyed at the same speed and the frame images on the photographic film being read at the reading system for fine-scanning by a quantity of light controlled on the basis of reading results of prescanning.

Abstract: A film holding apparatus for use with a scanner is provided. The film holding apparatus selectively holds a positive film and a negative film that are to be scanned. The positive film is thicker than the negative film. The film holding apparatus includes a base, a plate disposed above the base, and a pressing unit disposed above the plate. The plate has a surface for selectively receiving a positive film and a negative film. When the surface of the plate receives the positive film, the plate vertically moves for a distance toward the base. When the surface of the plate receives a negative film, the negative film is held between the surface of the plate and the pressing unit.

Abstract: In an image reader, a line image sensor optically and electronically reads by scanning a standardized image-recording frame area of a photographic transparency with the line image sensor. In a regular-reading operation, the frame area is scanned at a fine-scan-pitch with the line image sensor. Prior to the regular-reading operation, a pre-reading operation is executed such that the standardized frame area is scanned at a rough-scan-pitch with the line image sensor. It is determined whether an image to be read from the transparency is recorded on a whole of the standardized frame area or a panorama frame area defined and restricted on the standardized frame area. When it is determined that the image to be read is recorded on the panorama frame area, the execution of the regular-reading operation is regulated such that the panorama frame area is scanned with the line image sensor.

Abstract: The illumination optical device has a collimator lens and a light source. The light source is provided with light-emitting diodes radiating green, red and blue light beams, respectively. The light-emitting diodes are arranged on a straight line, which is perpendicular to the optical axis of the collimator lens and which intersects a focal point of the collimator lens. Each of the green, red and blue light beams is changed to a parallel beam by the collimator lens, and is then changed to a strip-shaped light beam by a cylindrical lens which is provided between the collimator lens and a film. The film is disposed in such a manner that each of the light beams is made incident on the film.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dual transmissive/reflective image scanning apparatus for improving the scanning quality of reflective originals. The present invention includes a slot for selectively accommodating a tray of a first type or a tray of a second type. For reflective scanning, the tray of the first type, which includes a means of transparent material such as glass, is inserted within the slot. For transmissive scanning, the tray of the second type without a means of transparent material may be selectively inserted within the slot. As scanning transparent originals, a light source from the original cover passes directly thought the transparent originals and thus it reduces obstruction that may be caused by a transparent material. Furthermore, either the tray of the first type or the tray of the second type is allowed to be withdrawn from the housing for cleaning greasy dirt or dust deposited on the glass or installing various holders for transparent originals.
