Abstract
An image scanning method includes pre-scanning a first document to generate a first original image according to the first document; adjusting parameter settings of the first original image to generate and store a plurality of pre-view images corresponding to different sets of parameters; pre-scanning a second document to generate a second original image according to the second document; and scanning the second document to generate a plurality of scanning images according to the different sets of parameters of the pre-view images. The parameter settings of the first original image include brightness, shadow, and contrast settings.
Claims22
A method, comprising:
- pre-scanning a first document to generate an original image of the first document;
- applying a set of parameters to the original image of the first document to generate a pre-view image corresponding to the set of parameters;
- pre-scanning a second document to generate an original image of the second document;
- applying the set of parameters to the original image of the second document to generate a pre-view image of the second document;
- and
- generating a scanned image of the second document based, at least in part, on the pre-view image of the second document.
An apparatus, comprising:
- means for pre-scanning a first document to generate an original image of the first document;
- means for generating a pre-view image of the first document using a set of parameters;
- means for pre-scanning a second document to generate an original image of the second document;
- and
- means for generating a scanned image of the second document based at least in part on the set of parameters of the pre-view image.
An image scanner, comprising:
- a scanning module configured to:
- pre-scan a first document to generate an original image of the first document;
- and
- pre-scan a second document to generate an original image of the second document;
- and
- an image processing device configured to:
- apply a set of parameters to the original image of the first document to generate a pre-view image corresponding to the set of parameters;
- and
- generate a scanned image of the second document based, at least in part, on the set of parameters.
An apparatus, comprising:
- means for pre-scanning a first document to generate an original image of the first document;
- means for adjusting parameter settings of the original image of the first document to generate a set of parameters;
- means for pre-scanning a second document to generate an original image of the second document;
- and
- means for applying the set of parameters to the original image of the second document to generate a scanned image of the second document.
The apparatus of 13, wherein the means for applying the set of parameters comprises means for automatically applying the set of parameters.
An image scanning method for an image scanner, the method comprising:
- scanning a first document with a scanning module driven by a scanning driver;
- generating an image of the first document;
- displaying the generated image of the first document;
- receiving and storing adjusted parameter settings for the first document;
- scanning a second document with the scanning module;
- generating an image of the second document by applying the adjusted parameter settings to the second document;
- and
- displaying the second document image.
