	Image scanner -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In (The branch of engineering science that studies (with the aid of computers) computable processes and structures) computing, a scanner is a device which analyzes a physical image (such as a photograph, printed text, or handwriting) or an object (such as ornament) and converts it to a digital image.
		The image to be scanned is wet-mounted on a drum, meaning it is soaked in oil.
		Images to be scanned are placed face down on the glass, the light turns on, and the CCD and light move across the pane reading the entire area.

		For example, the image produced by the refraction of light rays by a convex lens (when the distance between the object and the lens is greater than the focal length of the lens) is real, and it appears on the side of the lens opposite the one on which the object is present.
		Images of the same size as the object are sometimes produced, as in the case of the plane mirror, but in other cases they are larger, and in still others, smaller.
		The size of the image and whether it is erect or inverted, real or virtual, depend on the distance of the object from the lens or mirror relative to the focal length and on the type of lens or mirror (plane, convex, or concave) employed.

	Understanding How Image Sensors Work
		Generally, images that are to be displayed on the screen are converted to 72 pixels per inch (ppi), a resolution held over from an early era in Apple's history.
		Low-resolution image sensors have a problem called color aliasing that occurs when a spot of light in the original scene is only big enough to be read by one or two pixels.
		However, there is a new challenger on the horizon, the CMOS image sensor that promises to eventually become the image sensor of choice in a large segment of the market.

	FAQ
		Even when every pixel in the image field is equally exposed from a uniform reflecting image plane, an image sensor module generally produces some non-uniformities in the video outputs due to variations in the manufacturing process.
		These characteristics result in image distortions, which are fixed in position in the image field and are randomly located from module to module.
		The amplitude of the image scan with the exposure is measured and then is compared with the dark amplitude in the second, third and forth scans.

	Foveon 1/1.8" X3 Image Sensor: Digital Photography Review
		The 10.2 Megapixel F7N direct image sensor is the second generation X3 image sensor, which increased the ISO range from 100 to 800, and added an extended mode option to ISO 1600.
		Foveon X3 image sensors are the world’s only direct image sensors, which capture red, green, and blue light at every pixel location, and are the first image sensors that leverage silicon’s inherent color separation property.
		Other image sensors on the market such as CCD and CMOS image sensors have only one layer of pixels and use colored filters to capture a single color per location, resulting in color artifacts and image blurring.

	Tutorials - Digital Camera Sensors
		A digital camera uses a sensor array of millions of tiny pixels in order to produce the final image.
		To capture color images, each cavity has to have a filter placed over it which only allows penetration of a particular color of light.
		Images with small-scale detail near the resolution limit of the digital sensor can sometimes trick the demosaicing algorithm-- producing an unrealistic looking result.

	5. Image Sensors
		Image sensors are manufactured in factories called wafer foundries or fabs where the tiny circuits and devices are etched onto silicon chips.
		When an image has a different aspect ratio that the device it's displayed or printed on, it has to be cropped or resized to fit.
		To make large image files smaller and more manageable most cameras store images in a format called JPEG after its developer, the Joint Photographic Experts Group and pronounced "jay-peg." This file format not only compresses images, it also allows you to specify how much they are compressed.

	Digital Camera Image Sensor Cleaning
		A typical digital SLR image sensor has in the neighborhood of 3500 pixels per linear inch, so it does not take a large particle to block light from a few of pixels.
		Using a static-chargeable brush to clean your camera's image sensor has potential advantages when it comes to air travel because they require no flammable solvents and are used dry.
		They can remove more debris from the sensor than would be possible with a blower, and if there are any hard mineral particles on the sensor a brush may be less likely to cause scratches than methods that involve wiping with a solvent.

	Foveon - Direct Image Sensors
		It represents a giant leap forward in color photography and is the only image sensor technology that combines the power of digital with the essence of film.
		A direct image sensor is an image sensor that directly captures red, green, and blue light at each point in an image during a single exposure.
		This was due to the fact that CCD digital image sensors were only capable of recording just one color at each point in the captured image instead of the full range of colors at each location.

	Photo.net Effects of the physical size of digican sensors on performance by Bob Atkins - photo.net
		Since the smaller the sensor the more the image needs to be enlarged, to get the same resolution in the same sized print we need more resolution from smaller sensors.
		So its clear that the larger the sensor, the higher up on the MTF curve of the lens it's operating at when delivering a particular resolution and the final output is a print of a given size.
		The Coolpix 995 with a significantly smaller sensor has to use part of the MTF curve which is lower than that used by the D30, and the Xi with the smallest sensor of all has to use almost the whole MTF curve, even the low part.

	Rob Galbraith DPI: Sensor and Image Quality
		Image dimensions on the [L] resolution setting are 2464 x 1632 pixels; with the camera set to [M] resolution, 1840 x 1224 pixels.
		Part of Nikon's emphasis on their efforts to stomp out sensor noise undoubtedly stems from the fact that the D2H's LBCAST sensor is about the same physical size as the CCD in the D1H.
		As we pointed out in the sensor section, while Nikon is not offering an increased ISO range in the D2H, they are promising a more usable ISO range, perhaps right up to ISO 6400, because of the claimed low noise of the new sensor and noise reduction during image processing.

	Digital Sensor Cleaning - Part I
		Lots of people have cleaned their sensors themselves without running into this, but you may nor may not be one of them.
		You now hold your breath, engage the sensor cleaning mode on your camera to expose the sensor and gently wipe the swap across the sensor from one side to the other.
		After cleaning my digital sensor a number of times, I found that quite often the "tissue and solvent" method wasn't needed and a simple brushing with a particular brush was quite effective.

	Kodak image sensor Interview
		So it would be logical to say that a CCD sensor provides the highest image quality possible, which should be superior to the CMOS sensor.
		However, the fact that Canon is getting high quality end results out of the CMOS image sensor is the result of the effectiveness of the chip that is converting the signal, the DIGIC II processor.
		For digital back sensors, like the Phase One P 45, it remains appealing to increase the resolution for a while, since there is a demand for resolution, and their end-users do want to invest in resolution.

	Digital Image Sensor Size - a Prediction of the Future
		Huge chips like 24x36mm image sensors are incredibly expensive to manufacture and this is unlikely to change anytime soon, if ever.
		As time goes on it will be possible to achieve the same image quality with smaller and cheaper image sensors.
		Eventually, when our “film” lenses are starting to get old, one of the major manufacturers may change their lens mount to allow even smaller, lighter, and cheaper lenses that cover only the area of the then-tiny high mega pixel image sensors.
