Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to optical-electronic technology, in particular to methods for obtaining images of several paintings or parts of one or more paintings, wide-format images using cameras (FA), broadband and lowercase images using scanning devices (SU), and can be used, for creating optoelectronic scanning and photo devices, both for ground-based devices, and for placement on aircraft (LA) or on spacecraft (SC), to obtain images of several paintings or an hour one or more paintings, widescreen, broadband and lowercase paintings, including images of the underlying surface of the Earth.

State of the art

A known method of obtaining multiple images, for example, by microfilming documents by making "microfiche", in which, in order to simultaneously obtain several images (pictures), the images to be photographed are fixed so that they fill the field of view of the lens, forming one frame consisting of several images.

The disadvantage of this method is that it is applicable only to images located directly in the field of view of the lens - the field of view of the recording device, not allowing to obtain images that are not directly in the field of view of the lens (focal plane).

The well-known "Method of image formation, a device for its implementation and a method of generating a video signal" [patent of the Russian Federation No. 2195694, MKI G02B 27/18, 2002 Bull. No. 36].

The disadvantage of this invention is the lack of the ability to simultaneously capture multiple images (paintings or several parts of the picture) lying in different planes or at the same time not directly in the field of view of the lens.

It is known "Scanning device containing a telescopic system, a scanner, a photodetector and an optical fiber washer" [Copyright certificate No. 139877 of the USSR, MKI G02 Registered in the State register of inventions of the USSR on February 6, 1980].

The disadvantage of this invention is the lack of the ability to simultaneously capture multiple images (paintings or several parts of the picture) lying in different planes or at the same time not directly in the field of view of the lens.

The closest, in appearance, to the proposed invention is the "Method of obtaining images in on-board devices, a device for its implementation" [patent of the Russian Federation No. 2123197, MKI G02B 26/10, 1998 Bull. No. 34].

The disadvantage of this invention is the lack of simultaneous fixation in the field of view of the registration device of several images (paintings or parts of the picture) lying in different planes or at the same time not directly in the field of view of the lens (focal plane).

Disclosure of invention

The problem to be solved is the creation of a method for obtaining:

- images of several paintings or parts of one or more paintings that are not simultaneously in the field of view of the registration device,

- widescreen images (with an aspect ratio of more than one and a half) with a more complete use of the field of view of the recording device,

- broadband, lowercase images, when using recording devices, the maximum linear size of which is less than the maximum linear size of the recorded image, with more complete use of the field of view of the recording device with or without a lens.

The problem is solved by the invention. Let us clarify the main terms and concepts used below. Aperture - the active hole of the optical system, determined by the size of the lenses and determining the size of the focal plane and the size of the recording device ("field of view of the recording device"). In the present invention (method) under the aperture is understood as the field of view of the registration device. The field of view of the registration device, without using the method proposed by us, will be called: "direct" field of view. The field of view of the recording device, using our proposed method, will be called the "synthesized" field of view.

The "synthesized" field of view differs from the "direct" field of view of the recording device in that the "synthesized" field of view contains images of paintings, parts of one or more paintings, widescreen, broadband, line paintings, which without our invention do not simultaneously fall into the "direct" field of view of the registration device. Moreover, the maximum linear size of the image of the paintings or their parts is greater than the maximum linear size of the "direct" field of view of the recording device. The effect of “synthesizing” the field of view (aperture) is to rebuild the image of the extended picture (long line) or images of several pictures or parts of one or more pictures into multi-line with short lines by the “synthesizing aperture” device. The size of the lines is selected close or equal to the size of the rows of the matrix of the recording device.

The term “synthesized” aperture was taken by us by analogy with obtaining radar images of the underlying surface of the Earth by a side-scan radar. Such a radar received the well-known name: "Synthetic Aperture Radar" (PCA). The name PCA was given to emphasize a fundamentally different, compared with conventional radars, method of processing radar signals. In the optical range of electromagnetic radiation, an "optical aperture" is used as an antenna to obtain images of the underlying surface of the Earth - an optical lens or a device for recording optoelectronic devices. A telescopic lens that provides a focal surface (plane) in a small (compared to the size of the lens) is used to obtain images (pictures) of many kilometers of the underlying surface of the Earth. When registering paintings that do not require changing their sizes, the need for lenses disappears, the images are the same size as the picture, as, for example, in tablet “scanners” or “copiers”.

Our proposed method allows, when using recording devices, for example photomatrixes, the maximum linear size of which is less than the maximum linear size of the recorded line image, to receive images of paintings with a predetermined number of "pixels", far exceeding their number in the matrix row. Thus, the proposed method allows, as in the case of PCA, to obtain the image size (in pixels) of the recorded picture, many times larger than the row size of the photomatrix of the registration device. The same row size of the recorded pattern can be obtained from a photomatrix having a row size equal to the row of the image. If the image line size, for example, is hundreds of thousands - millions of "pixels", you need to have a photomatrix with the same (hundreds of thousands - millions) number of "pixels" in the row, which is not technically feasible in the near future. The present invention allows to obtain such a linear image size, which could give a traditional hypothetical device of currently non-existent huge sizes. Therefore, we consider it possible, by analogy with SAR, to name our method: “a method for synthesizing aperture”. Obtained using the proposed invention, the devices will be called: scanning devices - "synthesized aperture scanning devices" (SUSA), and cameras - "synthesized aperture cameras" (FASA).

It should be noted that the lens only changes the image size of the pictures, without directly participating in the “synthesis” of their images. Synthesis is carried out by the specific device proposed in our invention, using mirrors, optical fibers, prisms, lenses and similar elements. The lens (antenna), as well as the field of view of the recording device, does not carry out synthesis. Synthesis is carried out in this case by optical devices, and in the case of SAR by radio signal processing methods. In both cases, neither the lens (the field of view of the recording device), nor the antenna are different in construction from traditional devices, although it was more convenient for them (more briefly) to attribute "synthesis". That is why the present invention allows to obtain images with or without a lens, synthesizing an aperture (optical aperture). Features and the presence of lenses are not essential and determining for the claimed invention.

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that in the method of obtaining images of several paintings or parts of one or more paintings, widescreen, broadband, lowercase paintings (for example, using cameras (FA), scanning devices (SC) with lenses or without lenses) these images that are simultaneously not in the “direct” field of view, by optical paths, possibly with a decrease or increase, by optical devices (for example, based on prisms, lenses, mirror surfaces, optical fibers) are simultaneously transferred to " Synthesize "sight, filling the field of view of the registration device. In fact, in front of the known registration device, with or without a lens, in the present invention, a special optical unit (a special “nozzle”) is installed, which transfers various images of pictures that are not in the “direct” field of view (collects) into the “synthesized” field of view registration devices.

Also the essence of the invention lies in the fact that in the device using mirror surfaces according to the above method, N mirrors are used (it is possible to produce a complex mirror surface that replaces N mirrors), mounted in the housing at appropriate angles: α ₁ , α ₂ , ... α _N-1 , α _N relative to one axis and at angles: β ₁ , β ₂ , ... β _N-1 , B _N relative to the other axis of the housing, each of these angles being set at a certain point in time so as to simultaneously transfer ( project) corresponding images n ostranstvennyh pictures of A _1, A _2, ... A _N in "synthetic" view recording device so that each image AND ₁ AND ₂ AND ... _N corresponding pictures A _1, A _2, A _N ... filled the recording surface.

The indicated angles: α ₁ , α ₂ , ... α _N-1 , α _N and β ₁ , β ₂ , ... β _N-1 , B _N , depending on the requirements for a particular task, can either dynamically during operation change by using the mirror position control unit, or can be predefined and fixed, practically without using the mirror position control unit. The operational features of the mirror position control unit are not essential and defining for the claimed invention, since this unit can be implemented in various ways, including automatic or manual dynamic control of mirrors, in the most difficult case, or without using this unit at all by fixing certain fixed stationary methods mirror positions or the use of a hard complex surface.

The present invention, first of all, can be effectively used to create optoelectronic scanning and photo devices for ground equipment, as well as in space technology to obtain images of the underlying surface of the Earth.

Application of the proposed method allows, as it were, simultaneously, for one recording device (FA, SU) to use "several different lenses", directed in different directions. The present invention replaces with one device these "several different lenses" ("fields of view").

A geometric interpretation of the invention can be represented as follows. Lenses are a circle, and photographs are usually rectangles. As you know, in one circle you can arrange several rectangles in various ways. Therefore, projecting several rectangular images onto a circle, it is possible to arrange several rectangular images on one circular fixed field of view.

If the registration device is a rectangle, then it is possible to enter several smaller rectangles (SU lines) into it, as, for example, with microfiche.

A feature of photographing from spacecraft (SC) or from aircraft (LA) is that the camera - FA or scanner - SU itself moves quite quickly and evenly along photographed images. This is used to obtain a "frame scan." Therefore, SU is enough to have only a "horizontal scan." At the same time, the lens can be directed only to one specific piece of land, and it is impossible to “stop and take the whole panorama” with the known control systems, since the line length is limited by the number of “pixels”. As you know, for example, in a control system, the maximum number of "pixels" per line (the line of photodetectors has 8000 elements) reaches 24000 elements in three consecutive lines. At the same time, the SU lens should provide in the focal plane the placement of all 24000 elements. The present invention allows you to simultaneously capture on one full frame several tens, hundreds or thousands of the above lines (photos with a reduced height). The line-by-line images of the Earth (SU lines), when using the proposed method, represent the images of the underlying surface of the Earth in the form of a narrow long strip (with a length equal to the width of the capture band), which the “aperture synthesizing” device divides into N elementary parts (strips) - lines forming hundreds of thousands of hyperstrings - millions of pixels. The proposed optical device converts a “hyperstring” of N elementary strings standing “one after another” into a “frame”, where these strings are already “one above the other” and “one under the other”. A “frame” consists of N elementary lines with a string length of only thousands of elements. The requirements for the lens are proportional to the linear size of the focal plane, providing the placement of the desired number of elements. In the case of a frame (matrix) structure, the maximum size of the lens determines the line length, as well as in the case of a single-line structure.

Thus, when using a rectangular photomatrix ("frame structure"), the present invention allows to proportionally reduce the size of the lens or significantly increase the width of the resulting image of the picture. We emphasize that the proposed method of photographing or scanning can be applied in other practical applications: “scanners”, “copiers”, large-format cameras, scanning devices for spacecraft, scanning microscopes and similar devices, including for simultaneously obtaining images of several pictures (or parts) several paintings).

Important advantages of the present invention is that it can be used (for example, as "nozzles") on existing cameras and scanners. The advantage of the present invention is the simplicity of its implementation for the CS on the spacecraft, where in addition to adding a “nozzle” the CS electronics are improved in terms of increasing the number of photodetector lines or using a matrix photodetector with known digital processing units. The electronic units are so compact that they will not require a significant increase in the dimensions of the control system in terms of electronic components, and for a control system with an inclined mirror, the overall dimensions will practically not increase.

The authors do not know the way to simultaneously obtain several images of paintings, images of parts of one or more paintings, widescreen, broadband, lowercase images of paintings, the set of essential features of the claims of which is identical to the set of essential features of the claims of the claimed invention. Therefore, the claimed invention satisfies the condition of novelty.

The authors do not know the way to simultaneously obtain several images of paintings, images of parts of one or more paintings, widescreen, broadband, lowercase images of paintings, the set of essential features of the claims of which is identical to the set of essential features of the claims of the claimed invention. Therefore, the claimed invention meets the condition of the prior art.

Devices for the simultaneous acquisition of several images of paintings, parts of one or more paintings, widescreen, broadband, lowercase paintings can use cameras or scanning devices equipped with an optical image transfer device (synthesizing aperture) based on lenses, mirror surfaces, prisms, optical fibers.

Lenses, mirror surfaces, prisms with their surfaces, fiber ends are inclined at angles to the axis of the lens in accordance with the angles at which images of spatial patterns A ₁ , A ₂ , A _N or parts of the underlying surface P ₁ , P ₂ , P _N are visible.

For example, for cameras and broadband control systems, mirror surfaces can be made in the form of N mirrors of a flat or curvilinear shape, located long sides one after another, perpendicular to the direction of movement of the control system. In a plane perpendicular to the direction of movement of the SU, the mirrors are rotated relative to each other.

Each mirror projects one line of capture of the control system in the field of view of the lens or recording device, the rotation step of the mirrors is selected from the condition of a small overlap of the image segments of the underlying surface located across the control system movement. N lines are projected onto the mirror lens, forming a “frame” that makes up the strip of the underlying surface with a width that is almost N times wider than the capture band provided by the CS without the proposed image acquisition device. In this case, a narrow long rectangle is cut out, cut out from the image of the underlying surface, consisting of the adjacent "segments" of adjacent segments (elementary lines), into another (higher at the same width) rectangle where elementary lines are located "one above the other "and" under each other. "

The implementation of the invention

In well-known control systems located on a spacecraft or aircraft with an inclined mirror, there is the concept of "viewing bandwidth", which is determined by the angle of rotation of the inclined mirror, that is, to what extent across the trajectory (path) of the flight of the spacecraft or aircraft, the capture bandwidth of this control system can move . Typically, the field of view is several times the width of the capture band. For example, a control system with the number of photodetectors in the line equal to 2000 pieces, with a decomposition element size of 50 m, has a capture bandwidth of only 100 km and a field of view of 3000 km (± 1500 km). Depending on the rotation of the inclined mirror, it is possible to obtain an image of the underlying surface of the Earth with a width of 100 km in one place inside the field of view depending on the task of the rotation of the inclined mirror both to the left of the “sub-satellite” line (determined by the satellite flight path) and to the right. But at the same time, you can only have one image in a capture band 100 km wide.

An embodiment of the proposed method in the form of a device will be considered using an optical device with mirror surfaces (RF) as an example.

Figure 1 and figure 2 shows different applications of the same optical device with mirror surfaces. Figure 1 illustrates the acquisition of images of several individual paintings (14, 15, 16) using a camera, and Figure 2 explains the acquisition of an image of a widescreen picture with an aspect ratio of 3 to 1 of length = L with a camera, as well as obtaining an image of the underlying surface of the Earth ( broadband picture width = L) using CS.

To simplify the drawing, we restrict ourselves to the value of N equal to three: images of three different, close in size, paintings (Fig. 1), a large-format picture with an aspect ratio of 3 to 1 and a width = L (Fig. 2), a broadband picture with a width = L of the underlying surface Earth (figure 2), for this example, is three times wider than the resulting SU without using the device for synthesizing the aperture. Since in Fig. 2, the pictures and images for the broadband picture and the wide-format picture coincide, we will describe only the receipt of the picture of the underlying surface of the Earth.

The device includes (shown in figure 1 and figure 2):

- 1 - the body of the SU;

- 2 - the field of view of the registration device or the focal plane of the lens to accommodate a group of photodetectors (synthesized aperture);

- 3, 4, 5 - groups (blocks) of photodetectors of the registration device;

- 6 - lens (may not be used);

- 7, 8, 9 - blocks (nodes) for mounting mirrors;

- 10 - a block for controlling the position of the mirrors, allowing, if necessary, to change the position of the mirrors (angles of inclination of the mirrors relative to the body);

- 11, 12, 13 - mirrors.

In addition, figure 1, 2 shows:

- 14 - a picture that creates in the "direct" field of view the image recorded by the FA without using the aperture synthesizer;

- 15 - plot (part of the picture), not in the "direct" field of view, which the mirror 11 transfers to the focal plane of the lens on the group of photodetectors 5, synthesizing the aperture: figure 1 - a separate picture (one of three), figure 2 - 1/3 of the large-format picture L, figure 2 - 1/3 of the underlying surface L;

- 16 - plot (part of the picture), which the mirror 12 transfers to the focal plane of the lens on the group of photodetectors 4, synthesizing the aperture, cutting it out of the plot 14 (picture): figure 1 - a separate (second) picture (one of three), fig .2 - 1/3 (second) part of the large-format picture L, 1/3 (second) part of the underlying surface L (in the direct field of view);

- 17 - plot (part of the picture), which the mirror 13 transfers to the focal plane of the lens on the group of photodetectors 3, synthesizing the aperture: figure 1 - a separate (third) picture (one of three), figure 2 - 1/3 (third) part of the large-format picture L, 1/3 (third) part of the underlying surface L;

- α is the angle of rotation of the mirrors in a plane perpendicular to the direction of flight of the spacecraft between adjacent mirrors;

- L is the width of the viewing band of the standard control system, the width of the capture band for the memory with a “synthesized” aperture, the width of the widescreen picture;

- Elements: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 14, 15, 16, 17 in the drawing are conventionally rotated.

Blocks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are available from known analogues. The proposed device differs from analogues in the presence and location of blocks 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.

The blocks in the proposed device are connected as follows. Blocks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are located inside the housing 1. Block 10 is attached to the block 1 (i.e., the mirror position control unit is attached to the housing). All blocks 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 can be located both inside the housing 1 and outside it. Blocks 7, 8, 9 have fastening on both sides. On one side, all blocks 7, 8, 9 are attached to block 10. On the other (second) side, blocks 7, 8, 9 are attached as follows: block 7 to block 11, block 8 to block 12, block 9 to block 13.

We specifically note that in certain cases, blocks 7, 8, 9, and 10 may constitute one common mirror mounting unit. In some cases, certain mirror positions can be fixed and unchanged. In other cases, even when combining blocks 7, 8, 9, 10, the tilt angles of the mirrors can be changed either manually or remotely using specialized control devices. For example, for spacecraft such control can be carried out "from the Earth" or by programs.

The device operates as follows (see figure 1 and figure 2). Block 1 fastens blocks 2-13 into a single device. The block 10 control the position of the mirrors, allowing, if necessary, to change the position of the mirrors, sets through the corresponding positions of the blocks 7, 8, 9 such angles of inclination of the respective mirrors 11, 12, 13 relative to the housing, such that:

section 15, the mirror 11 transfers to the focal plane of the lens on the group of photodetectors 5, synthesizing the aperture (without mirror 11, this section does not fall into the focal plane of the lens);

a portion 16 of the underlying surface of the mirror 12 transfers to the focal plane of the lens on the group of photodetectors 4 (direct field);

a portion 17 of the underlying surface of the mirror 13 transfers to the focal plane of the lens on the group of photodetectors 3, synthesizing the aperture (without a mirror 13, this portion does not fall into the focal plane of the lens).

Elements: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 14, 15, 16, 17 in figure 1, 2 are conventionally rotated.

Note that the known standard scanning device with an inclined mirror consists of a housing 1, to which a lens 6 is attached, in the focal plane of which a group (line) of photodetectors is placed 4. The rotary mirror 12 projects a portion of the underlying surface 14 onto the focal plane 2, where the line of photodetectors is located 4 onto which a portion 16 of the underlying surface of the Earth is projected. When turning (in a plane perpendicular to the direction of flight), the mirrors 12 will be projected onto the line of photodetectors 4, but not simultaneously, other parts of the underlying surface (for example, 15 or 17), to the right or left of section 16, depending on the direction of rotation of the mirror 12.

The size of the ruler, together with the lens, determines the width of the capture band and the size of the "pixel" - the decomposition element of this SU. In our case, the width of the capture band of known SUs is the length of the plot 16.

In the above example, the proposed device (invention) - SU, in contrast to the known SU with an inclined mirror, supplements the standard SU with the following elements: in the field of view of the lens 2 are additional groups (arrays or arrays) of photodetectors 3 and 5; instead of one rotary mirror 12, N rotary mirrors 11 and 13 are installed, providing an increase in the capture band by a factor of N, with a block 10 controlling the position of the mirrors, which allows you to change the position of each mirror separately (tilt angles of the mirrors relative to the housing).

The “Image acquisition method and device for its implementation” proposed in the invention (Aperture synthesis method) allows, when retrofitting a standard control system with an inclined mirror with additional elements in accordance with the invention, to obtain a new control system with the same lens and the same decomposition element = 50 m, but with a capture band = 3000 km (instead of 100 km). Retrofitting consists in replacing an inclined mirror with, for example, 30 narrower mirrors, each with its own tilt (some of the strips are turned clockwise, the other counterclockwise, and also by placing 30 lines of photodetectors or a matrix in the field of view of the lens (2000 × 1000 ) of the photodetector), thereby ensuring uniform filling of the field of view of the lens and an increase in the capture band by 30 times (the standard control system in the field of view of the lens had only one ruler (line), and the rest of the space was not used, which is almost 2000 lines).

A conventional camera equipped with the aperture synthesizer we offer will capture all three images 3, 4, 5 of the individual three paintings 15, 16, 17 (Fig. 1); for a large-format picture L, the constituent parts 15, 16, 17 (Fig. 2), but in an unusual (extended) form.

To obtain the original wide-format picture L in the usual form, it is necessary to carry out the inverse transformation, for which it is enough to use our proposed device for synthesizing the aperture as a prefix to the projector. In this case, the aperture synthesizer converts from a compact image with three narrow parts of the picture into the image of the original widescreen picture L. Thus, the present invention can be used not only to obtain images of several paintings or parts of one or more paintings, widescreen, wideband and lower case pictures, but also for "reverse conversion" in order to obtain simultaneous displays with the help of a projector of several pictures or parts of one or several cards n, and wideband widescreen image.

An implementation option of the proposed method without the use of a lens is considered using an example of a scanning device in the form of a device with mirror surfaces for a tablet “scanner” (see FIG. 2), where:

- 1 - the body of the reader;

- 2 - photomatrix;

- 3, 4, 5 - sections (rows) of the photomatrix;

- 11, 12, 13 - mirrors;

- 15, 16, 17 - sections of the read material (picture) for scanning.

The reader 1 (mirrors 15, 16, 17, photomatrix 2 and electronic components) is located on a movable carriage (the carriage is not shown in Fig. 2) for its movement along the material.

Scanning (reading) of the material is carried out in the usual way by moving the carriage along the material illuminated by a strip of light from a lamp with a slit diaphragm (the lamp is located on the carriage).

The difference between the proposed SU and the known ones is that instead of mechanical scanning along the line with a swinging or rotating mirror, “scanning” along the line is carried out statically with a photomatrix without mechanical displacements along the line. Using mirrors 11, 12, 13, the complete line of the read material (broken by mirrors into small, relatively short lines), is transferred to the photomatrix, where this line of material is read. During the reading of one line of material, the carriage moves one line along the material, after which the second line of material is read. And so on until the complete reading of all the material.

It is advisable to make mirrors in the form of a monolithic step design.

The image acquisition device can be made on the basis of bundles of optical fibers, consisting of N optical fibers fixed in the device case, so that some ends of the fibers are inclined at the corresponding angles: α ₁ , α ₂ , ... α _N-1 , α _N relative to one axis and at angles: β ₁ , β ₂ , ... β _N-1 , B _N relative to the other axis of the casing (angles β are perpendicular to the image plane in FIGS. 1, 2), each of these angles being set so that each of N optical fibers simultaneously projected corresponding pictures or parts of one second extended pattern K _1, K _2, ..., K _N, at the same time not in the "live" view, the other end to the "synthetic" view recording device so that each image AND ₁ AND ₂ ... And _N filled the recording surface, and the ends of the optical fibers facing the lens may not be arranged regularly in rows or frames, but in accordance with the location of active (functional) elementary photodetectors, which allows defective matrices with “broken” (faulty) pixels and even beaten p okami.

In scanning devices with photodetector arrays, the input surfaces of the optical device can be coated with light gates, for example, in the form of liquid crystals, to ensure prompt switching of the capture band. Fragments of the capture band are projected onto the lens so that all fragments of the capture band fall on one or more lines or arrays of photodetectors superimposed on each other to ensure that only those fragments of the field of view, greater than the capture band, fragments of which fall on the “open” surfaces of the conversion device . To switch the capture band open, electronically, the corresponding input surface of the converting device.

The claimed invention allows to solve the problem of simultaneously obtaining images of several paintings or various parts of one or more paintings, widescreen, broadband, lowercase pictures, with more efficient use of the field of view of the lens or recording device, and also makes it possible to create scanning devices for aircraft with the number of elements decomposition of "pixels" tens - hundreds of thousands or more per line. The claimed invention allows, using a standard lens, to create scanning devices with a wider capture band (tens of times or more) while maintaining the size of the "pixel", which is actually a method of synthesizing an aperture.

It is possible to create inexpensive "scanners" (flatbed or broach), in which to obtain the number of decomposition elements 2500 per inch or more (100 elements per 1 mm), you can use groups of optical fibers or inclined mirrors with corresponding fixed angles (in this case, blocks 7, 8, 9, 10 are actually combined into a simple mirror mount unit with fixed tilt angles), which will project the scanned image onto the photodetector array in the same way as the scanning device described above. The presence of modern matrices for digital cameras with the number of decomposition elements of more than 10 megapixels allows you to create scanners with the number of pixels in a row up to 10 megapixels.

The layout of the invention is created.

Therefore, the claimed invention (technical solution) satisfies the condition of industrial applicability.
