Abstract:
There is provided an image reading device including: a light source; an image forming unit including plural optical members that receive reflection light reflected from the document and form an image from the received light; plural light receiving units that receive the light formed into an image by the image forming unit and convert the light to an electric signal; a storing unit that stores plural kinds of correction data; a detecting unit that detects an amount of relative positional shift between a light receiving unit and the image forming unit for each light receiving unit; and a correcting unit that selects correction data suitable for each light receiving unit from the plural kinds of correction data stored in the storing unit based on the detected amount of relative positional shift, and corrects the electric signal converted by each light receiving unit based on the correction data.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus includes a reading unit, an extraction unit and a generation unit. The reading unit outputs reference plate reading information. The extraction unit sets a pixel of the reference plate reading information as a notice pixel and repeatedly extracts one of the notice pixel as a target pixel until the number of the target pixels is more than a predetermined value when a ratio of a pixel value of the notice pixel to an initial value is more than a predetermined range. The generation unit generates correction information by substituting a pixel value of the target pixel with a correction value using the initial value when the extraction unit extracts all pixels of the reference plate reading information, and generates correction information by setting the pixel values of all the pixels as the initial value when the extraction unit does not extract all the pixels.
