Topic: Image scanner


  
 Image scanner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, a scanner is a device that analyzes a physical image (such as a photograph, printed text, or handwriting) or an object (such as an ornament) and converts it to a digital image.
Such an image can be processed with a raster graphics program (such as Photoshop or the GIMP) and saved on a storage device (such as a hard disk).
The amount of data generated by a scanner can be very large: a 600 DPI 9"x11" (slightly larger A4 paper) uncompressed 24-bit image consumes about 100 megabytes of uncompressed data in transfer and storage on the host computer.

 Image Edition - Scanner FAQ
For example, comparing 2 of 100x100-pixel images scanned from the same 1" x 1" picture; one is scanned at 100 dpi, the other is scanned at 200 dpi (200x200 pixels) then re-sampled down to 100x100 pixels by software.
When creating a bitmap image from a scanner, the pixel dimensions is the result of scanning resolution multiplies the physical dimensions of scanned area.
In the case of a 30-bit or 36-bit scanner, the scanner driver will "look" at the information collected in the scan and discard either 2 bits (for a 30 bit-scanner) or 4 bits (for a 36-bit scanner) of "irrelevant" information from each channel to further enhance the picture.

 Tape / Image Format Created
The Cineon Film Scanner is capable of scanning images to several SCSI or SCSI-2 devices including the Exabyte 8200, Exabyte 8500, Metrum, Ciprico parallel disks with tape emulation and the Ampex DD-2.
Image data packing will come in one of three forms depending upon the bit depth of the image data.
The image header(s) contain information about the image and conforms to either the Cineon file format or the SMPTE DPX file format.

 Guide 1: Planning an Imaging Project
A scanner must be selected in the context not only of the characteristics of the object to be scanned but also of the intended use of the scanned image.
Some may consider this a technicality, but if the history of desktop printers is a harbinger for capture devices such as digital scanners and cameras, then one must treat the triad of hardware, driver software, and application as the scanner.
For a three-color scanner, this means that 30 bits/pixel (10 bits/pixel x 3 color channels) are maintained initially and finally reported as 24 bits/pixel (8 bits/pixel x 3 colors).

 OS/2 Warp Compatible Hardware List Web site: Introduction
Scanners are the eyes of your personal computer.
The flatbed scanner requires a number of mirrors to keep the image that is picked up by the moving scan head focused on the lens that feeds the image to a bank of sensors.
Regardless of a scanner's sensitivity to light or how the head and paper move, the operations of all scanners are basically simple and similar.

 Hands-On Review: CanoScan 3000F Color Image Scanner : October 2003 : THE Journal
The 3000F is not the fastest scanner - taking about 20 seconds to scan an 8" x 10" photograph and about 60 seconds to scan a slide - nor the quietest - making a variety of noises and clunks while scanning.
In addition, the 3000F comes with PhotoStudio editing software and PhotoBase image management software, which are not well known programs, but still work adequately.
Fortunately, in a classroom or lab environment this is not a problem; though it would be distracting at home.

 SPEC: image-scanner
Converts an image from one form (``analog'' photograph) to another (digital image).
If the image-being-scanned-original-sensor is a transducer or less, we treat it as given data and the synthetic rendering by the scanner actively ``scans'' using the receptor, but assumes that the image-being-scanned-original-sensor is is a transducer or less.
For initial implementation, this should be restricted to line or something simple.
