Abstract: An optical scanning apparatus for retrieving digital electronic images representative of opaque and transmissive objects. The apparatus is equipped with a reflective scanning platform for scanning documents and photographs and a docking port for receiving a transmissive scanning platform for scanning transparencies and slides. A scanning camera equipped with light sources for illuminating the respective platforms may be aligned by the operator to retrieve images from either the reflective scanning platform or from the transmissive scanning platform. An optical switch which is included within the optical pathway selectively toggles the view of the scanning camera between the reflective platform and the transparent platform. An operator using a control panel button or software can selectively scan either type of object. The choice of two scanning platforms optimizes the digital image quality for each type of media.

Abstract: An image scanning device is provided with simplified operation. A document holder has reference marks and/or a positioning frame so a document, such as a film or film slide, can be repeatably placed in an accurate position on the document holder. The document can be pressed between two flat plates of transparent material on the document holder to keep the document flat. The image scanning device has a door that need not be manually opened or closed. The document holder is inserted into the image scanning device through the door and is accurately mounted to a movable stage. The stage contacts the document holder so the document holder is positioned on the stage in the same position every time the document holder is mounted to the stage. The stage can also be positioned such that the stage is fixed to a case containing the image scanning device. By fixing the stage to the case, damage to the stage and other support devices is avoided during shipping or transport.

Abstract: An image input system includes an image input device having a movable carriage and a feeder removably attached to the image input device. The image input device performs a reading action of image information from a source document loaded onto the carriage. The image input device uses a single opening for loading and discharging the film mounts to prevent double loading. The feeder loads the source document onto the carriage during a loading action and discharges the source document from the image input device during a discharging action. A controller controls the operation of the image input device and the feeder. The controller operates a detection system to detect the presence of a film mount remaining in an image input device.

Abstract: An apparatus providing the capability to scan media at different resolutions is presented. The apparatus comprises an image area which is disposed between scanner lid and a scanner base, the lid is pivotally attached to the base to provide easy access to the image area. A light source resides within the scanner lid. Two separate light paths are provided, the first fight path is reflected off opaque targets, through the lid before entering the base and onto an array of photosensitive devices. The second light path is passed through transparent media, into the base and onto the array. First and second focusing lenses are provided, each for a light path. The focusing lenses provide two separate magnifications which yield two separate resolutions.

Abstract: A scanner system digitizes 35 mm transparencies or negatives, and converts the image to a format compatible with popular microcomputer systems. This scanner system can accommodate various formats, and has variable zoom, pan and window size. Color separation is accomplished by an illumination arrangement causing rapid sequential generation of red, green and blue components. A low wattage light source is used, and color balance is achieved by adjusting the respective exposure times of the three primary colors. The system has internal calibration to achieve repeatable color balance. The system implements a wide variety of color coding schemes ranging in resolution from 1 to 24 bits. An adaptive process compresses the data in order to optimize the color selection process. The illumination optics are anamorphotic for high efficiency. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible with a conventional 51/4" floppy disk drive standard.
