Abstract:
An image processing apparatus and an image scanning apparatus detect a position of an abnormal pixel caused by obstruction to reflected light from a manuscript due to dust and others and correct the abnormal pixel by using data of normal pixels surrounding the abnormal pixel on the basis of a result of the detection. Based on image data read from a null-image prior to optical reading of a manuscript, an abnormal pixel detecting part detects the position of the abnormal pixel caused by the dust and others lying on a contact glass equipped between the manuscript and a CCD. An abnormal pixel correcting part uses pixel information at the position of the abnormal pixel detected by the abnormal pixel detecting part to correct image data read from the manuscript.
Abstract:
An apparatus for suppressing print quality degradation due to vibrations in a printing machine structure. The apparatus comprises a vibration member (15) having a structural resonance, a transducer (28), and means (30) for damping vibrations. The transducer (28) is mounted to the vibration member and produces electrical signals corresponding to mechanical vibrations of the vibration member (15). The damping means (36) is connected across the transducer (28) and is responsive to the electrical signals.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for producing within an imaging area (18) of a charged surface (16) and without significant banding, an array of pixel spots forming image scan lines (20,22) including a start-of-image scan line (20a). The method and apparatus include a ROS (24) for generating an even number of light beams. The ROS includes a rotating polygon assembly (40) having a plural number of facets 'F' for each deflecting the even number of light beams onto the imaging area of the charged surface forming scanning beams for simultaneously each producing an image scan line. The method and apparatus also include a controller (50) for controlling the even number of light beams so that a scanning beam spacing "d" is maintained where "d" is equal to 'F'-1, and so that at start-of-producing the pixel spots forming the image scan lines, the beams are offset relative to the start-of-image scan line and only one-half the even number of light beams is deflected onto the imaging area of the charged surface to each form an image scan line.
Abstract:
Radiation beam scanning apparatus comprises a rotatable reflector (10) for causing an incident radiation beam to undergo a scanning movement; and a compensating device (4) on to which the radiation beam impinges before reaching the rotating reflector. The compensating device modifies the optical path of circumferentially spaced portions of the beam upstream of the reflector (10), in phase with the rotation of the reflector, so as to compensate for distortions in the reflected beam introduced by the reflector.
Abstract:
Holographic/diffraction grating effects produced on the surface of thermal dye transfer prints due to the surface distortion caused by laser heating are prevented by disrupting the regular grid pattern in a random manner. By causing such disruption over only part of the area of the image and by suitably arranging the non-disrupted areas, an identifiable pattern can be achieved.
Abstract:
Es handelt sich um Vorrichtung zum Umwandeln der Lichtsignale eines an einem Gegenstandsträger (21,21a,21b) befindlichen flachen Gegenstandes, der sich im wesentlichen in einer Dingebene erstreckt, in Videosignale mittels eines an einem Träger angeordneten CCD-Sensors (32,32a,32b) und einer ein Objektiv (35,35a,35b) aufweisenden optischen Einrichtung, die einen Strahlengang mit einer optischen Achse (30,30a,30b) definiert und zur Abbildung des Gegenstandes auf dem CCD-Sensor (32,32a,32b) einstellbar ist, wobei die optische Einrichtung einen steuerbaren Strahlversetzer (217,219;317,319) für eine wahlweise planparallele Versetzung der auf den CCD-Sensor (32a, 32b) treffenden Lichtstrahlen längs der Ebene seiner Sensorfläche aufweist, so daß Bildinformationen, die ohne Lichtstrahlversetzung in unwirksame Lücken zwischen aneinandergrenzenden empfindlichen Sensorflächen des CCD-Sensors fallen würden, auf empfindliche Sensorflächen des Sensors auftreffen.
Abstract:
Un convertisseur des signaux lumineux émis par des sections voulues d'un objet plat, tel qu'un positif ou un négatif transparents, en signaux vidéo, au moyen d'un capteur CCD (32), comprend un dispositif optique avec un objectif (35) ayant une distance focale constante. Le dispositif optique comprend au moins deux éléments réglables le long de son axe optique (30) et dont la position détermine la distance entre l'image et l'objet d'une part et la reproduction de la section de l'objet sur le capteur CCD (32) d'autre part. Les deux éléments réglables sont mutuellement reliés par un mécanisme (24), de sorte que l'objectif (35) reproduise de manière nette la section de l'objet sur le capteur CCD (32) lorsque la distance par rapport à l'image et à l'objet est réglée.
Abstract in simplified Chinese:莫而图案被明显地压制成连续变化每一英吋之线条数。在与该扫描仪与该文档之间相对移动不同方向上每一英吋的点数通常是该光学感应器的特性,但在LPI方向上,在该连续线条之间的距离可以在一最大值与一最小值之间随机变化。这样空间地分布该莫而效应,及防止它的累积成一般可以被确认的二维图案。
Abstract:
A reading apparatus includes a reading unit and a shaft along which the reading unit slides. The reading unit includes a reading portion for reading an image, a holding portion that holds the reading portion. The holding portion has a first surface. The reading unit further includes a sliding portion that moves in contact with the shaft. The sliding portion has a second surface facing the first surface. A first region is provided between the first surface of the holding portion and the second surface of the sliding portion so as to form a predetermined gap which reduces the transmission of vibrations from the shaft to the reading unit.
