Abstract: Partial lines of data representative of adjacent pixels in an image pixel matrix are reordered to facilitate reconstitution of a scanned image. The partial lines are received by a signal processing circuit and are assigned unique addresses by reference to base address and offset values. Each partial line is then stored in a memory address corresponding to the assigned address. The values of the base addresses and offsets may be altered to accommodate different image matrix sizes and scanning patterns.

Abstract: A laser beam emitted from a laser beam generator is modulated by a laser beam modulator depending on an image to be recorded, and then guided by a reflecting area or a transmitting area of a laser beam switcher toward one of reflecting surfaces of respective spinners. The laser beam is then reflected thereby toward a recording medium attached to an inner circumferential surface of a semicylindrical drum. The spinners alternately scan the recording medium with the laser beam while they are being displaced axially in the semicylindrical drum, so that a two-dimensional image can efficiently be recorded on the recording medium.

Abstract: A method for transmission of a sequence of high quality images for display on a visual display unit is described. It has particular application in the field of telepathology, where magnified images obtained by scanning a medical specimen on the stage of an optical microscope are transmitted from a local pathologist to a remote consultant for diagnosis. The method consists of the steps of advancing the field of view of the camera in discrete steps across the object being viewed to capture a sequence of contiguous images, temporarily storing a digital representation of a first of the images in a first buffer store and a digital representation of at least part of the next succeeding image in a second buffer store, controlling the data in the two buffers stores such that the data follows the leading edge of the advancing viewpoint and data in the first buffer store representing a trailing incremental strip of the first stored image is progressively discarded while data in the second buffer store representing a trailing incremental strip of the next contiguous image is transferred to a location in the first buffer store occupied by the data representing a leading incremental strip of the first stored image.

Abstract: A recorded image frame is distorted on the printing plate when image information or image data from a computer is recorded in the form of band strips, with a plurality of image elements dotted on each widthwise dotted line of the band, on a printing plate wound over a drum. The present invention permits an undistorted recording on the printing plate by an arrangement which includes a printing plate wound around a drum in the form of a right circular cylinder, an exposing assembly to record image information in the form of a band strip on the printing plate by means of light beam, a moving mechanism to move the exposing assembly in relation to the drum in the direction of the drum axis--by one band width per revolution of the drum--and a circuit to generate an incline distortion offsetting signal in a sawtoothed pattern having the cycle synchronized with that of the rotation of the drum with the initial writing position on the band as starting point. Under this arrangement, this incline distortion offsetting signal is applied to the exposing assembly to gradually move the light beam in the direction opposite to the moving direction of moving mechanism--by one band width per revolution of the drum. This process is repeated until the whole printing image is recorded.

Abstract: An apparatus allowing double-leaved side wiring or saddle wiring of copied sheets of paper performs the following process for forming an image on a two-page spread. In accordance with the direction of the document set on the apparatus, whether or not the image formed on the document should be divided and turned to an image of a two-page spread is determined. When a two-page spread image is to be formed, a blank page is inserted to the images to be printed on the sheets, or the order of images to be printed is exchanged. Thus an image is properly formed on a two-page spread.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for scanning an image using a moving lens scanning system is described. The present invention moves film through a pin registered film gate, creating a projected image. A light source exposes images on the film in the film gate. The projected image passes through a lens and exposes a sensor, for example, a CCD camera. The sensor converts the section of the projected image exposed to it into electronic signals, and transfers that data out of the sensor. In one embodiment, the position of the film gate relative to the lens and sensor is adjustable to accommodate different size film formats. A rectangular sensor is used having a width narrower than the projected image width, and a height corresponding to the height of the projected image. To expose an entire film frame image to the sensor, the lens moves along an axis parallel to the width of the film frame so as to move the projected image across the sensor at a predetermined rate sufficient to allow the sensor to capture each component of the projected image. The present invention thereby scans film images using a sensor substantially smaller than the projected image size, and can scan a variety of film formats without moving or changing the size of the sensor.

Abstract: A large-size (A3-size) original is folded into two small-size (A4-size) portions. Images on the surfaces of the respective portions are read by image reading units. Image data output from the image reading units are stored in a memory. A detection unit detects end positions of the read images, and skew of each of the images is corrected. An image synthesis unit synthesizes the image data of the respective surfaces based on the output of the detection unit to provide the original single image. Thus, it is possible to read even a large-size original.
