Abstract:
A film feeding apparatus for a film scanner (201) includes a bottom plate (31), a top plate (41) formed with a slide slot (45) and a feed-in hole (43), a movable plate (51) movable between the bottom plate (31) and the top plate (41), and an actuator member (52) co-movable with the movable plate (51). The movable plate (51) cooperates with the actuator member (52) to constitute a sliding seat (5) that is movable between a non-feeding position whereat the actuator member (52) is disposed in an end (452) of the slide slot (45) such that the movable plate (51) is misaligned from the feed-in hole (43) in the top plate (41), and a feeding position whereat the actuator member (52) is disposed in an opposite end (451) of the slide slot (45) such that the movable plate (51) is aligned with the feed-in hole (43). When the sliding seat (5) is moved from the non-feeding position to the feeding position, a film (202) is pushed into the film scanner (201).
Abstract:
A slide mount supply device supplies plural slide mounts (17,171). Each of the slide mounts includes a reversal photo film piece (17a) having an image frame. A mount panel (17b) is disposed about and secured to the photo film piece. In the slide mount supply device, a cartridge (14) has a tubular shape, and contains the plural slide mounts stacked vertically. A feeder mechanism (30) with a claw portion feeds a lowest slide mount (171) among the plural slide mounts to an outside of the cartridge. Furthermore, a path base member (33a) is disposed downstream from the feeder mechanism, and on the path base member, the slide mount (17,171) being fed is passed. A recess (56) is formed in the path base member, has a smaller size than a size of the slide mount in a direction crosswise to a feeding direction thereof, for preventing interference between a middle portion of the slide mount and the path base member if the middle portion is bulged.
Abstract:
The apparatus for scanning slides (6) comprises a slide projector (4) and an ancillary unit (24) adapted to be mounted in an opening (22) for a projection lens. By means of the ancillary unit, slides (6) are imaged in a focal plane in which a CCD sensor (8) is provided. The ancillary unit (24) is composed of a first imaging system (26) which images the slide (6) on a ground glass plate (27). Provided after the ground glass plate (27) is a second imaging system (28) which images the slide (6) image on the ground glass plate (27) on the CCD sensor (8).
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 color separation scanner comprising a support arranged for mounting thereon of a two-dimensional image to be scanned and color separation sensing apparatus arranged for sensing the two-dimensional image. The color separation apparatus includes a scanning head located a fixed distance from the two-dimensional image, at least first and second objective lens assemblies and apparatus for selectively arranging each of the at least first and second objective lens assemblies in fixed locations along the optical path between the image and the scanning head.

Abstract:
A CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) array sensor film scanner that can execute the preview, scanning and storage functions without connecting with a computer mainly comprises a main body (10) internally set with a frame body (20), and its bottom connected with a base (30) internally set with a backlight mechanism (32). It is characterized in that a PCBA (printed circuit board assembly) module (40) comprising a main board (41), function key board (42) and screen display panel (43) linked together is mounted on top of the frame body (20), a CMOS array image sensor module (44) of an image sensor (441) jointed with an optical camera lens (442) and an image processing and storage module (45) are set on the main board (41). An internal-set power processing device (31) is set in the base (30), and a backlight mechanism (32) is set at the position relative to the optical camera lens (442). And, a colored LCD (liquid crystal display) (11) and a memory card inserting hole (12) are set at the outside of the main body (10). The optical camera lens (442) is utilized to access the film images and focused to form images in the image sensor (441) then the images are transformed into digital data. And, the digitized image processing is proceeded through the image processing and storage module (45). And, the images can be previewed, edited and stored in memory card by the function button of colored LCD display (11) of the main body (10) or transferred to the computer. And, the images stored in the memory card can be inserted in the memory card inserting hole (12) then proceed directly the repeat playing or editing through image process software and scanning the image processing and storage module (45).
Abstract:
An image scanning device for scanning an image on a document comprises a document table on which a document to be scanned is placed, a scanning unit which is installed in the document table for scanning an image on a document by projecting light from a light source onto the document in a time-sharing manner and detecting reflected light from the document, a moving unit which moves at least one of the document and the scanning unit to let them move relatively with each other, and a document type judgment unit which judges the type of the document in regard to transmission of light through the document based on a non-lighting period image signal which is outputted by the scanning unit by scanning the document for one line in a main scanning direction in a non-lighting period of the light source.
Abstract:
An image in a slide mount (17, 91) is pre-scanned while a mount holder (36) with a slide mount (17, 91) is conveyed from a scan start position to a scan end position. In the middle of the reverse movement of the slide mount (36) after the pre-scan, the slide mount (36) is stopped to carry out focusing operation, and fed back to the scan start position. Based on the scan condition determined by calculation during the focusing operation, the image is fine-scanned to obtain image data while the slide mount (36) is conveyed to the scan end position. A sort card (34, 93, 94, 95) for dividing slide mounts (17, 91) for each order has identification openings (34a, 93a, 94a, 95a). The identification openings (34a, 93a, 94a, 95a) are formed in the middle of all sides in order to detect the sort card (34, 93, 94, 95) even when the sort card (34, 93, 94, 95) is turned over or loaded in incorrect orientation direction.
