 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.
Scanners typically read red-green-blue color (RGB) data from the charge-coupled device, process it with some proprietary algorithm to correct for different exposure conditions, and send it to the computer via the device's input/output interface (usually SCSI or USB).
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.
