	Image scanner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computing, a scanner is a device that analyzes an image (such as a photograph, printed text, or handwriting) or an object (such as an ornament) and converts it to a digital image.
		A flatbed scanner is usually composed of a glass pane (or platen), under which there is a bright light (often xenon or cold cathode fluorescent) which illuminates the pane, and a moving optical array, whether CCD or CIS.
		Images to be scanned are placed face down on the glass and the sensor array and light source move across the pane reading the entire area.

	Image Edition - Scanner FAQ
		For example, a basketball in a bitmap image is made up of a mosaic of pixels with orange or background color in that location instead of the shape of a circle.
		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.

	ABC's of High Speed Document Management Scanner and Image Scanner
		Image enhancement can sometimes have adverse effect on certain applications, for example when attempting edge enhancement (to better define actual data from background), the algorithm may tend to fill gaps between bars of a bar-code and make it impossible for the bar-code to be read.
		A G4 Tiff image is thus an image compressed using bi-directional G4 algorithm with a header that complies with the Tiff convention.
		Drum scanners tend to jam less than other transports, but when they do jam it tends to be more difficult to clear because you sometimes have to dig into the machine to find the paper.

		As their name implies, image scanners are used to scan images.
		This is a scanner where the image or document to be scanned is laid flat and the scanning device is rolled across it.
		Other scanners work in reverse, the document is rolled through and the image scanned as it passes.

	Image scanner fits in a pocket - optics.org
		An image scanner that can be rolled up and carried in a pocket could be just around the corner, thanks to scientists in Japan.
		The result is an image scanner that is ultra-thin and lightweight and can flex in order to scan the image of a curved surface such as an open page in a book or a label on a wine bottle, for example.
		Unlike conventional image scanners which mechanically scan a linear array of photodetectors over an object, the new Japanese design does not require any moving parts or internal optics to capture an image.

	Demonstration Quality Scanning Digital Camera
		The scanner has its own built-in control program that decides when to start to move the paper and it has a sensor that informs the scanner when the print has moved out of the scanner so that it then stops gathering image data.
		In the middle of the funnel was a lens, the function of which was to reduce the image of the print's width to the length of the CCD array.
		The aspect ratio of any image or scene reproduced through these means is roughly a function of the vertical angle of view of the lens and the horizontal angle of view that one covers.

	General Image Scanner Guidelines & Techniques
		If you have a hand scanner (usually capable of 4 inch wide scans), or a page scanner (usually a full page at a time), you should be able to put it to work for you.
		At this point you want to have a version of the image that is small enough (in bytes) that it shows the detail that you need, but at the same time does not require an excessive amount of time to download to an average user with a 14,400 baud modem.
		Crop the image (remove the areas that are not important).
