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.
A desktop scanner is usually composed of a glass pane, under which there is a bright light (often xenon or cold cathode fluorescent) which illuminates the pane, and a moving charge-coupled device.
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, or LPT in machines pre-dating the USB standard).
