The example how this equipment will be used will be narrated now.Suppose that the user wants from one section text of one page paper record and piece image.In this case, he remains on apart from the suitable distance of this page paper equipment last.Certainly, this distance changes people and people, but usually within the 5-15cm scope.In first pattern, the function of equipment is as follows.At first, the user wants the part of recording text.He is by pressing button 27 starting outfits, thereby two LED6 are switched on two luminous points are projected on this page paper.These luminous points have been represented the height of imaging region, and the size of indicating it thus is because imaging region is square.The user is placed on first alphabetical left side in the textual portions that he wants to write down with these points.Then, he presses button 27 and starts these equipment and this equipment of moving, and moves past the text that will write down so that luminous point is used with the same mode of someone read text.When user's starting outfit, processor 20 command facilities begin with a preset frequency, and such as the 25Hz document image, therefore the image by sensor record is stored in the read/writable memory device 23.Yet, need a large amount of storage space with the stored text of picture format.Therefore, save the storage space in this pattern, characters in images is identified and stores by means of ASCII character.When the user had come the terminal of delegation or allowed luminous point move past selected textual portions, he discharged start button, so processor 20 cuts off image recording.When the textual portions of selecting has been recorded, the text that the user can opertaing device displayed record on display 25 or by IR transceiver 26 with text delivery to an outer computer.Directly on display screen the possibility of reading scan information confirmed very important because the user often wants to verify that correct information is scanned.
How flowcharting equipment among Fig. 4 is suitable for operating in first pattern.In step 401, equipment is by means of the luminous point indication imaging region from LED6.In step 402, the user moves luminous point and passes him and want the zone of writing down, so equipment records has the image of overlapping content and they are stored in the imaging region present in the read/writable memory device 23.This image is stored as image, that is, by means of a plurality of each have from the pixel of the gray-scale value in the black scope in vain.
In case image has been stored in the current imaging region, the image combination that has previous image correspondingly begins, and step 403 is if such image is available.If there is not the image of front, present image directly enters row (line) image-region in the read/writable memory device.
In order to determine that current images is will be how and the image combination of front,, be verified on pixel level in each possible lap position between the image and overlapping measurement is determined as follows so that between the content of image, obtain optimum matching:
1) for each overlapping pixel location, if two relevant pixels are not white then their gray-scale value is added up.Wherein not having pixel is that white such pixel location is designated as one and adds the position.
2) all add the gray scale of position and are added up.
3) adjacent position of each pixel location is verified.If overlapping pixel location is not to add the adjacent position of position and by white when being formed with pixel location non-white, then the gray-scale value of non-white pixel can multiply by a constant from 2) and deduct.
4) selected as the top represented lap position that the highest overlapping measurement is provided.In combination picture, the mean value of overlapping pixel gray-scale value is used.In this way, can in the overlapping region, suppress noise.Combination vertically and is flatly carried out thus.Do not finish on horizontal line if it is detected image when combination, combination picture is correspondingly regulated so that for example make it become level by the rotation combination picture.
Our Swedish patent application No.9704924-1 and corresponding U. S. application No 024 641 have narrated a kind of movement images so that find the substitute mode of best lap position.The content of these applications is combined by the method for reference.
Little by little enlarge in the capable image area of combination picture in read/writable memory device.The image-region of preferably going is enough big capable to store the common A4 that writes the type text.
In step 404, the combination picture that the software of processor 20 will be expert in the image memory region is divided into the subimage that each only comprises a character.The purpose of this step is will produce input signal to give the neural network software that will translate character.This segmentation realizes by the pixel gray-scale value that is used for every row and every row pixel in combination picture is added up.The row that obtains by research institute and and row and local strength's minimum value, can be determined for the peripheral profile of each character in the image.
Then, in step 405, each character in the combination picture of the character string of imaging is translated.The pixel gray-scale value that constitutes the subimage that only comprises a character together is fed to neural network as input signal.The character that on behalf of network, each output of neural network can discern.Have the selected and character that select thus of the network output of high output signal and use a predetermined character encoding format in step 406, for example ASCII character is stored in the read/writable memory device 23 that is used for translating character in the memory area.When character recognition was done with character encoding format with storage, processor start-up operation indicator 28 write down new character string, step 407 to notify its preparation of user.Then, it gets back to step 401.
In first pattern, above-mentioned step is carried out by means of relevant unit and suitable software by processor 20 thus.Such software can be developed by means of above-mentioned explanation by those skilled in the art.The identification of character is performed by means of neural network software, and it is trained with suitable manner.Neural network software can be bought on market, for example from U.S. MA01760, and Natick, 24prime park way, MathWorks company, MATLAB Neural Network Toolbox.
In this example, the user also wants to be recorded in the image that comprises on this page paper.In order to accomplish this point, he presses button 27, so this equipment changes pattern and processor sends to lens combination 7 with a signal.Lens combination 7 is moved to the position that is used for second pattern that needs from it in the position of first pattern.In addition, previous cut two LED6 are switched on.Aspect adjusting, but the focal length of lens combination 7 is changed and four luminous points tiltedly move facing to outside from the center of imaging part, but so that bigger imaging part is provided, it also is expressed in Fig. 3.Then user's guiding device is so that luminous point projects on the image paper of wanting to write down around him on every side.In this respect, the size of the distance adjustment imaging region that he can be by changing to this paper.He presses button 27 starting outfits then, is recorded in the image of the part between the luminous point subsequently.When image is recorded, the user can opertaing device or on display 25 displayed record image or by IR transceiver 26 with image transfer to an outer computer.If want the image that writes down too big so that not within by the scope of luminous point institute qualifying part the time, the user can write down some subimages, the bigger image that they are combined in a like fashion with making of equipment in first pattern user on the paper.Then, text and the image information by user's record can be shown on the display 25 of equipment or on an outer computer.
The flowcharting of Fig. 5 equipment how to be suitable for function in second pattern.In step 501, but the scope of imaging part is indicated by four luminous points that are projected from LED6 on the paper.The correct part of determining paper as the user is marked, and he presses button 27 and in step 502, image is recorded subsequently.This image is recorded in by means of a plurality of pixels in the present image zone of read/writable memory device, and pixel promptly can have gray-scale value also can have color-values.Whether the user can select him to want to keep current images now.If the user determines to keep this image, program proceeds to step 503 along solid line, and wherein image is stored in the storer 23.When image was stored, equipment indicated it to prepare the new image of scanning in step 504.If the user does not wish to keep image, program continues to get back to step 501 from step 502 along dotted line, for use in the new images that will write down.
