Abstract: An apparatus and method for correcting a scanning error in a flatbed scanner, can minimize the scanning error due to deviations in position or scanning of a CCD (charge-coupled device) module by determining a scanning position, a scan region, and a scan rate for each flatbed scanner. The scanning error correcting apparatus includes a white shading plate having a black patch, a reading module for reading the white shading plate and the black patch, and a controller that compares information about the black patch read by the reading module with a predetermined reference value to correct the scanning error in the flatbed scanner. Thus, the apparatus and method can secure a scanning region in horizontal and vertical directions as wide as possible for each flatbed scanner and prevent occurrences of errors in a scanned image due to deviations of the CCD module. Furthermore, the apparatus and method provide an accurately scanned image having a desired scan rate by comparing right and left sizes and the entire scan size for a currently scanned region.

Abstract: An image joining method for a scanner that scans and transfers image data to a terminal is provided. During scanning and data transfer, when the image data stored in a register is full, an image processor stops the scanning of a linear photodetector. Meanwhile, a matrix photodetector fetches and stores the image of a code strip. Then, the photodetectors are moved backward a distance larger than that being required to be accelerated forward when the scanner resumes scanning. After the data in the register being transferred and cleared, the linear photodetector resumes scanning at a normal moving speed. The code strip image is further fetched and compared with the stored one to get a joining point of scanned image data. By the joining point, the new and prior image data portions are joined and the scanning proceeds, and joined image data will not be overlapped or broken.

Abstract: The image recording method and image recording apparatus synchronize phase of a light deflector with rotation of a drum in response to the drum start point detection signal generated each time the drum rotates once, expose the two-dimensional image of one frame formed by a group of light sources disposed two-dimensionally onto the recording medium while causing the image at rest on the recording medium relatively thereto, thereafter move the optical system in the auxiliary scanning direction by an integral multiple of a pixel pitch forming one frame as well as deflect an angle of the light deflector in the main scanning direction by one frame so as to expose the next frame and on for one rotation of the drum. When the position is dislocated in the auxiliary scanning direction at the time the recording medium is to be exposed in a subsequent one rotation of the drum, the method and apparatus correct the dislocation of the position in the auxiliary scanning direction by changing an auxiliary scanning movement speed in a non-exposure time zone between the previous and subsequent rotations of the drum. Accordingly, the method and apparatus can prevent the occurrence of streaked unevenness in the surface exposure and spiral exposure.

Abstract: A device for quickly and precisely determining a scan start point and improving scanning quality for an image scanner is disclosed. The image scanner includes a photo-processing device and a scanning platform for placing thereon a document to be scanned. The scanning platform is printed with a background region and two color blocks. The two color blocks are separately enclosed by the background region and are of different color from the color of the background region. The first color block has a first specified point therein being a predetermined shift to the scan start point along a specific direction. The second block has a second specified point corresponding to the first specified point in position. The photo-processing device moves a predetermined distance L0 from the home position to a pre-scan position overlapping with the two color blocks by four reference points, read the coordinates of the four reference points, then moves a calculated distance L1 from the pre-scan position to the first specified point, and moves another predetermined distance L2 from the specified point to the scan start point along the specific direction to start scanning. The distance L1 can be automatically adjusted to cover the installation error of the photo-processing device. According to the coordinates of the four reference points, the coordinates of the two specified points can be calculated, thereby realizing a deflection rate and/or an amplification error of a scanning result. For another image scanner disclosed herein, the movement of the distance L0 can be omitted by having the color blocks located at the home position which serves as the pre-scan position.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于快速且精确地确定扫描起始点并提高图像扫描仪的扫描质量的装置。 图像扫描仪包括照相处理装置和用于放置待扫描文件的扫描平台。 扫描平台印有背景区域和两个颜色块。 两个颜色块分别由背景区域包围，并且与背景区域的颜色不同。 第一颜色块在其中具有沿着特定方向的扫描开始点的预定移位的第一指定点。 第二块具有与第一指定点对应的第二指定点。 照相处理装置将预定距离L0从初始位置移动到与两个颜色块重叠的预扫描位置四个参考点，读取四个参考点的坐标，然后从预处理装置移动计算出的距离L1， 将扫描位置移动到第一指定点，并且沿着特定方向将另一预定距离L2从指定点移动到扫描开始点以开始扫描。 可以自动调整距离L1以覆盖照相处理设备的安装错误。 根据四个参考点的坐标，可以计算两个指定点的坐标，从而实现扫描结果的偏转率和/或放大误差。 对于本文公开的另一图像扫描仪，可以通过使颜色块位于用作预扫描位置的原始位置来省略距离L0的移动。
