Abstract
An apparatus for reproducing document images is provided. The apparatus includes an image-capturing device, a processing module, an operation interface and an image-output device. The image-capturing device captures a first-side image and a second-side image of a first sheet of a document and produces first-side image data and second-side image data correspondingly. The processing module receives the first-side image data and second-side image data and determines whether the image data contain a blank image. The processing module processes the image data contains a non-blank image into image reproduction data. The image-output device receives the image reproduction data and outputs a corresponding image.
Claims11
An apparatus for reproducing document images comprising:
- an image-capturing device, which captures a first-side image and a second-side image of a first sheet of a document and produces correspondingly first-side image data and second-side image data;
- a processing module, which receives the first-side image data and second-side image data, determines whether the first-side and second-side image data contain a blank image, and processes the image data containing a non-blank image into image reproduction data;
- an operation interface, electrically connected to the processing module;
- and
- an image-output device, which receives the image reproduction data and correspondingly outputs an image.
A method for reproducing document images, used in an apparatus, comprising steps of:
- capturing a first-side image and a second-side image of a first sheet of a document and producing correspondingly first-side image data and second-side image data;
- determining whether the first-side and second-side image data contain a blank image and processing the image data containing a non-blank image into image reproduction data;
- and
- outputting an image corresponding to the image reproduction data.
