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 plurality of picture image data obtained from a film in one film handling operation by a film scanner with the automatic film feeding function are output as prints by a digital printer and also as files in a recording medium by file outputting means. In the system for providing the above two kinds of output services, the numbers of film scanners, file outputting means, and digital printers are decided so that the processing performance of each kind of apparatus in a unit time × the number of each kind of apparatus is almost the same, to make each kind of apparatus comprising the system demonstrate its full performance. A medium image obtaining means for obtaining an image file recorded in a medium and digital camera image obtaining means may further be provided so that the above two outputting services are promptly provided for a picture image such as a processed image recorded in a medium and brought into a service provider by a customer and a picture image recorded by a digital camera, whereby one system can carry out film reading, image obtaining from a medium or a digital camera, picture print generation, and writing a picture image in a recording medium.
Abstract:
A scanner housing encloses a rotatable cylindrical drum (28), the outer surface having opposing rims supporting respective outer edges of a film strip. The edges are releasably held flat against respective rims by means of bands (52, 54) contacting respective radially outer edges of the film to maintain them against the respective outer rim surfaces. A scanner assembly (72) is disposed internally of the housing adjacent one outer side of the drum (28). A light source (114) is located adjacent an opposing outer side of the drum (28) at a location substantially diametrically opposed from the scanner assembly (72). A focusing lens assembly (42) is disposed internally of the drum (28) between the light source (114) and the scanner assembly (72). The film being carried on the outer circumference of the rotating drum (28) as the drum rotates, passes adjacent the light source (114). Light from the source (114) thereby is directed through the film, the lens assembly (42), and impinges upon the scanner assembly (72) whereupon the portion of the film adjacent the light source is thereby scanned (172).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image reader capable of surely grasping a photoelectric conversion element possibly causing an image failure due to defective linearity, and to provide a manuscript holder thereof. SOLUTION: The image reader for reading an image from a manuscript is characterized in to include: (A) a light source for illuminating the manuscript; (B) a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements for generating electric charges of an amount corresponding to a received light quantity; (C) a read data generating section for generating read data of the image on the basis of the amount of the electric charges generated by the photoelectric conversion elements by the received light when the light source illuminates the manuscript; (D) a discrimination section that discriminates whether or not any photoelectric conversion element is defective on the basis of the amount of the electric charges generated by the photoelectric conversion element when the photoelectric conversion element receives the light of a prescribed quantity during the period after application of power and till the reading operation; and (E).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information detecting device for a film scanner which is free of an increase in cost due to an increase in arrangement space or complexity of device constitution. SOLUTION: In the film scanner, a plurality of optical sensors previously detecting preliminary information on the screen position, size, etc., of a frame image of a photographic film when the frame image is read are incorporated. A light emitting element unit 52 which emits a plurality of kinds of light beams differing in wavelength is used as a light source emitting sensor light beams of the optical sensors. The light emitting element unit 52 is constituted by arraying chip type LEDs 54G, 54O, and 54W emitting light beams differing in wavelength on a pedestal 56 and packaging them in one. The LEDs 54G, 54O, and 54W emit green, orange, and white light beams respectively. Light emission colors of the light emitting element unit 52 are switched according to the kind of preliminary information and the kind of the photographic film. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To relax accuracy in movement, when using a miniaturized area sensor to shift pixels. SOLUTION: An imaging part 20 of an image reading apparatus 11, constituting a digital laboratory system 10, is composed of an image forming lens unit 23, a lens barrel 24, a support plate 25, a CCD area sensor 26 and the like. The image forming lens unit 23 is held by the lens barrel 24 which is freely movable in the direction of an optical axis 21. The lens barrel 24 is mounted on the lower surface side of the support plate 25, and the CCD area sensor 26 is mounted on the upper surface side of the support plate 25. The support plate 25 includes piezoelectric elements 35a, 25b (not illustrated) for moving the imaging part 20 in a direction at 45° to the film length direction and breadth direction. Since the image forming lens unit 23 and the CCD area sensor 26 can be moved integrally, moving accuracy can be relaxed, when pixels are shifted. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
