Abstract
An image capture and output method comprises steps of providing an image capture device, continuously capturing a plurality of line images from an initial position and recording a position information corresponded to each line image, calculating the difference between the position information of the first line image and the initial position and the differences between the position information of each of the rest line images and a former one of the line image to obtain a fill information, filling each line image into an image buffer according to the fill information, and outputting the image buffer as a product image. Therefore, the deformation issue is effectively solved, the storage memory is saved, and the manufacturing cost is lowered.
Claims5
An image capture and output method, comprising steps of:
- (a) providing an image capture device, wherein the image capture device comprises a case, a control unit, a linear image sensor and two optical mouse sensors, the control unit is a processor or a microcontroller disposed in the case, the linear image sensor is disposed in the case and connected with the control unit, the two optical mouse sensors are disposed in the case and connected with the control unit, and the two optical mouse sensors are respectively disposed at two opposed sides of the linear image sensor;
- (b) continuously capturing a plurality of line images from an initial position and recording a position information corresponded to each line image, wherein the position information comprise two coordinate positions of the two opposed sides of the line image captured by the two optical mouse sensors, the position information further comprise a shift degree, and the shift degree is a degree of the angle between the first line image and the initial position, or a degree of the angle between each of the rest line images and a former one of the line image;
- (c) calculating the difference between the position information of the first line image and the initial position and the differences between the position information of each of the rest line images and a former one of the line image to obtain a fill information;
- (d) filling each line image into an image buffer according to the fill information wherein the step (d) further comprises steps of:
