Abstract:
A film scanner is disclosed. The film scanner can provide a preview, scanning and storage functions without connecting to a computer. It is characterized in that a PCBA module includes a main board, a function key board and a screen display panel, an image sensor with a lens and an image processing and storage module. A backlight mechanism is set near the bottom of the film scanner. In addition, a memory card inserting may be provided. The film scanner operates independently and allows a user to preview a digitalized image captured from a film.
Abstract:
A passive transparent media adapter magnetically coupling to a scan system is disclosed. The transparent media adapter captures light from a concentrated light source in the scan module and transfers the light to backlight transparent media so that it can be imaged by the scanner module. The transparent media adapter has no active electronics or illumination so does not require control or power to operate. The magnetic coupling allows a significant amount of the concentrated light to be focused into a narrow backlight region that moves in sync with the scan module.
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:
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:
A passive transparent media adapter magnetically couples to a scan system. The transparent media adapter captures light from an existing scan module and transfers the light to backlight transparent media so that it can be imaged by the scanner module. The transparent media adapter has no active electronics or illumination so does not require control or power to operate. The magnetic coupling allows a significant amount of existing system illumination to be focused into a narrow backlight region that moves in sync with the scan module.
Abstract:
A template for an image capture device comprises a body having at least one support member for supporting at least one object, the at least one support member movable relative to the body to facilitate movement of the at least one object toward a platen of the image capture device for imaging thereof.
Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus and a focusing method thereof are provided. The image capturing apparatus includes a flatbed, a light source, an optical sensing unit, a focusing unit and an adjuster medium. The flatbed is used for carrying an object. The light source is used for illuminating the object to output an optical signal. The optical sensing unit is used for sensing the optical signal to output an electrical image signal. The focusing unit is disposed between the flatbed and the optical sensing unit. The adjuster medium is configured between the object and the optical sensing unit for adjusting the object distance or the image distance, such that the focusing unit focuses the optical signal on the optical sensing unit to generate an electrical image signal.
Abstract:
An imaging system comprises a base unit having a platen. The imaging system also comprises a lid coupled to the base unit and adapted to be disposed over the platen. The lid comprises a door openable relative to the lid to enable access to the platen therethrough.
Abstract:
An imaging system comprises a lid having a light source disposed therein and a media carriage coupled to the lid. The media carriage is adapted to support at least two media objects and is movable relative to the light source to alternately expose the two media objects to the light source for generating scanned images thereof.
Abstract:
System and methods for coupling a media adapter to an imaging device. One embodiment of a system comprises an imaging device and a coupler on the imaging device. A signal link is established between the imaging device and the coupler on the imaging device. The system also comprises a media adapter. A mating coupler on the media adapter contacts the signal link when the mating coupler on the media adapter is connected to the coupler on the imaging device.
