Abstract:
The present invention is an image reading method comprising the steps of, in a case that an original image is read by main scannings and auxiliary scannings of lines and the read image is exposed and outputted on a photosensitive material, determining a scanning direction of said original image according to size of an output image and the size of said photosensitive material, and reading said original image after it rotates, if necessary.
Abstract:
Photographic images are recorded by picking up a group of photographic images recorded in horizontal and vertical positions in substantially equally dimensioned frames (12a) to store in a storage medium (201) video signals representative of the photographic images in the order of the group of photographic images. One of frame orientations inclusive of at least the vertical and horizontal positions of the images recorded in the respective frames (12a) is selected. Then, out of the group of images, those which are in the selected orientation are selected. For the images in the vertical position, a magnification for forming a video signal which is smaller than that for the images in the horizontal position is set up. The selected photographic image is picked up to store a video signal representative of it in a store position (206) of the storage medium (201) assigned thereto. The selection, pickup and storage are caused on all the photographic images which are in the selected frame orientation. Thereafter, the above procedure is repeated on the remaining necessary frame orientations.

Abstract:
@ Die Erfindung betrifft eine opto-elektronische Abtastvorrichtung mit auf einem gemeinsamen Gestell angebrachter Vorlagenplatte und einem eine Vorlage in zwei verschiedenen Richtungen abtastenden Abtastkopf, die sich dadurch auszeichnet, daß auf dem Gestell ein erster Träger (4; 27) vorgesehen ist, der durch ein erstes Antriebssystem (5; 18) in der ersten Richtung antreibbar ist, und daß auf dem ersten Träger (4; 27) ein zweiter Träger (12) vorgesehen ist, der einen nur in der zweiten Abtastrichtung wirksamen Abtastkopf (16, 17) trägt, und daß der auf dem zweiten Träger (12) angebrachte Abtastkopf (16, 17) nur in der zweiten Abtastrichtung linear bewegbar ist, und daß für jede Bewegungsrichtung eine gesonderte Antriebsvorrichtung vorgesehen ist.
Abstract:
Disclosed are embodiments of methods, systems, and apparatus for providing multiple image fields or regions on an imaging array. In certain preferred embodiments, a high density imaging array may be partitioned into two or more regions, each of which may be used to render a separate view of the scan volume. This arrangement may provide an increase in the effective scan volume beyond the volume available with a single imager having a single point of view and may allow for reading of encoded symbols at a variety of orientations that would otherwise preclude accurate imaging with a single imager.
Abstract:
An image capture unit and computer readable medium used in combination therewith is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the image capture unit includes an image capturing sensor, a visual display, an instance of the computer readable medium, and circuitry for integrating functionalities thereof. The computer readable medium causes sensor data received from the image capturing sensor to be processed. The sensor data includes a plurality of image tiles and position indicating data defining a respective relative position of each one of each image tiles. Each one of each image tiles includes data representing a discrete portion of visual content. The computer readable medium causes a feedback image be displayed on the visual display. Displaying the feedback image includes correlate the relative position of each one of each image tiles with at least one other image tile that has been previously generated and displayed.
