1
Copy data from a sourceScanners take paper and convert it into a
bitmap Types of scanners
Optical scanner
Bar code readers
Character and Mark recognition
2
Convert text or drawings into machine readable format
Can be displayed, printed, or stored Types of optical scanners
Flatbed scanner Source placed on glass surface Image scanned from below
Portable scanner Handheld device that slides across
source
3
Flatbed scannerIf we talk about scanners, thus we mean usually flatbed scanner. The scan documents (texts, photo, diagrams etc..) are put on a glass plate like a copier, under which a carriage with an exposure item and the read head moves. Then the picture is scanned The picture information is entered by a CCD (Charge Couple Device). CCDs are semiconductor chips, with an array of photo-sensitive cells, which are used for the transformation from electromagnetic waves of light into electrical signals.
4
Photoelectric scanner Using Optical Recognition, a light beam scans the
item and changes it into electrical impulses for processing Contain photoelectric cells that read bar codes
Read bar codes Alternating black & white vertical bars Universal Product Code (UPC)
Seen in grocery stores, retail stores
5
Magnetic-ink character recognition (MICR) Reads magnetically encoded characters
Optical-character recognition (OCR) Optical character recognition (OCR)
converts bitmap back into text • different fonts create problems for
simple “template matching” algorithms
• more complex systems segment text, decompose it into lines and arcs, and decipher characters that way
Optical-mark recognition (OMR) Senses presence or absence of marks
6
A flatbed scanner scans one sheet at a time by laying the sheet face down on the bed of the scanner
Sheetfed scanner use motorized rollers to feed the document across the scanning mechanism
Handheld scanner-portable device that requires users to pass the scanning element over the item to be scanned
7
Bar codes-each product has a unique product code (UPC) represented by a pattern of bars
Bar code scanner scans the bars using reflected light which is then processed to retrieve product information assigned to that bar code
Handwriting Recognition

Scanners are typically envisioned as connected to a co-located host computer.
Submitting “Jobs” to network scanners is unnatural since a walk-up user must be present to submit the originals anyway.
Jobs may be most naturally started at the scanner and not at a workstation.
Will be more prevalent as networked MFPs provide scanning capability.
9
Archive-Communicate recording a facsimile of an image, such as a form or
a signature for storage, transmission or reproduction. Parameters and area probably well defined, fidelity important. Includes Copying, Fax.
Modify-Reproduce Capturing an image for inclusion in a document or
display, often with modification, scaling, cropping, etc. Parameters may not be known and area to be scanned may be inconsistent, fidelity important.
Extract-Analysis Processing an image for analysis or interpretation,
such as OCR or feature analysis. Parameters and area probably well defined, fidelity not too important for extraction. Analysis required very high fidelity.
10
Character and mark recognition devices
Scanners that recognize special characters & marks Magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) Optical-character recognition (OCR) Optical-mark recognition (OMR)
11
Scanners read and interpret information on printed matter
The information is converted to a format for storage
12
Grades test Checks survey
The sense marks are compared on the test by the scanner
Corrections are calculated
13
Scanners capture and digitize printed images. There are several types of scanners:
Flatbed scanners
Handheld scanners
Sheet-fed scanners
14
Item to be scanned is to be pulled into a stationary scanning mechanism
Smaller and less expensive than flatbed scanner
15
Item to be scanned rotates around stationary scanning mechanism
Very large and expensive Used in the publishing industry.
