Abstract
The present subject matter describes processing of objects for imaging in an imaging system. In an example implementation, a visual image of a plurality of objects disposed on an imaging bed of the imaging system is generated. A visual image of the imaging bed divided into a plurality of imaging zones is generated. Each of the plurality of objects are identified within a respective imaging zone from the plurality of imaging zones. Each of the plurality of imaging zones are assigned a corresponding imaging operation, where the imaging operation is one of a scan&print operation and a scan-only operation.
Claims20
A method of processing objects for imaging in an imaging system, comprising:
- generating a visual image of a plurality of objects disposed on an imaging bed of the imaging system;
- generating a visual image of the imaging bed divided into a plurality of imaging zones;
- identifying each of the plurality of objects within a respective imaging zone from the plurality of imaging zones based on the visual image of the plurality of objects and the visual image of the imaging bed divided into the plurality of imaging zones;
- in response to the identification, assigning to each of the plurality of imaging zones a corresponding imaging operation, wherein the corresponding imaging operation assigned to each of the plurality of imaging zones is one of a scan&print operation and a scan-only operation;
- and
- performing the corresponding imaging operation for each of the plurality of imaging zones based on the assignment.
An imaging system comprising:
- an imaging bed to arrange a plurality of objects on;
- a display unit;
- and
- an imaging manager to process the plurality of objects, wherein the imaging manager is to:
- generate, at the display unit, a visual image of the plurality of objects;
- generate, at the display unit, a visual image of the imaging bed divided into a plurality of imaging zones;
- identify each of the plurality of objects within a respective imaging zone from the plurality of imaging zones based on the visual image of the plurality of objects and the visual image of the imaging bed divided into the plurality of imaging zones;
- in response to the identification, assign, to each of the plurality of imaging zones, a corresponding imaging operation, wherein the corresponding imaging operation assigned to each of the plurality of imaging zones is one of a scan&print operation and a scan-only operation;
- and
- assign a set of imaging attributes to each of the plurality of imaging zones, wherein the set of imaging attributes assigned to each of the plurality of imaging zones is indicative of imaging settings to be applied to each of the plurality of objects identified within the respective imaging zone;
- and
- perform the corresponding imaging operation for each of the plurality of imaging zones, the corresponding imaging operations performed including a scan of each of the plurality of objects based on the assigned corresponding imaging operations and set of imaging attributes.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions for processing of objects to be imaged by an imaging system, when executed by a processor of the imaging system, cause the processor to:
- generate a preview visual image of a plurality of objects;
- generate a preview visual image of the imaging bed divided into a plurality of imaging zones based on a user selection of the plurality of imaging zones from a plurality of predefined zone layouts;
- identify each of the plurality of objects within a respective imaging zone from the plurality of imaging zones based on the preview visual image of the plurality of objects and the preview visual image of the imaging bed divided into the plurality of imaging zones;
- in response to the identification of each of the plurality of objects within the respective imaging zone, assign, to each of the plurality of imaging zones, a corresponding imaging operation, wherein the imaging operation assigned to each of the plurality of imaging zones is one of a scan&print operation and a scan-only operation;
- assign a set of imaging attributes to each of the plurality of imaging zones, wherein the set of imaging attributes assigned to each of the plurality of imaging zones is indicative of imaging settings to be applied to each of the plurality of objects identified within the respective imaging zone;
- and
- perform the corresponding imaging operation for each of the plurality of imaging zones, the corresponding imaging operations performed including a scan of each of the plurality of objects based on the assigned imaging operations and set of imaging attributes.
