Abstract

An alignment pad is allocated in front of an image sensor, the lens is allocated between the alignment pad and the image sensor. The alignment pad includes a set of edge alignment patterns. At least one set of resolution analysis patterns is formed on the alignment pad. Each set of the resolution analysis patterns includes one horizontal analysis resolution pattern, one vertical resolution analysis pattern. The horizontal analysis resolution pattern is composed of vertical lines, used for analyzing the horizontal analysis resolution of the lens. The vertical resolution analysis pattern is composed of none transparent lines. The signals detected from the image sensor are sent to the application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for generating alignment data. Then the alignment data are read and stored in the register. The computer further processes the data. The computer responds to these signals and displays the alignment data in gray mode on the monitor.

V 發明背景: ,傳統掃描系統可概略的分成二個部份,掌上型與平台 型系统。掃瞄系統使用聚焦的反射光來經由光子偵測器 (P h。t。d e t e c t 0 r )產生一種影像信號以做影像處理之 ^。傳統的掃瞄裝置包括一可見光源,一鏡片以及一透鏡 組以引導反射光至CCD。影像擷取的典型方法是將文件通 過置於前方的CCD裝置。CCD裝置是由許多小而個别的半 導體接收器以線性陣列排列所組成。文件經CCD掃過後 文件的個别線性片段爲CCD所擷取。一預處理元件,用以 回應一影像信號並調整影像信號之直流增益,一類比至數 位信號器則用以轉換經調整的影像信號成數位信號,而後 處理元件則是用以產生經由反白、陰影及伽偈校正處理之 影像碼。 校準是一設定掃瞄系統的重要步驟。它需要校準板 (alignment pad)l〇以供校準,如第一圖所示。校準板 包括了 一組黑色圖樣i 2作邊界校準之用。邊界校準是用 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本莧) ί,Λ' 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 A74Q3884 _ B7 經濟部中央標準局員工消費合作社印装 五、發明説明() Τ'~~ — 以界定CCD所欲掃聪的範園.校準板1〇的高度供水平校 準是用。水平校準決定了 CCD所掃瞒乂的線是否.水平。透鏡 的解析度是由校準板1〇的垂直線組〗14所決定。校準信號 反應至示波器上以供分析之用。然而分析示波器上的校準 信號要達成CCD與透鏡的眞正結果是非常難的。使用傳統 的校準方法,水平、垂直解析度與透鏡之放大率値都不能 準確取得。另外邊界校準與解析度分析也不能同時做到。 因此’ CCD與透鏡的是很難用傳統:的校準方法來做的。 於是乎一種供掃瞄系統CCD與透鏡的校準方法是極 爲需要的。 發明目的及概述: 鑒於上述之發明背景中之缺點,本發明掃瞄系統包括 了擴取物件的.影像的影像感知器(image sensor)。校準板 置於影像感知器的前方。透鏡置於校準板與影像感知器之 間。校準板包括一组邊界校準圖樣分别連接到校準板的兩 終端。在校準板形成至少一組、三袓更佳的分析圖樣。解 析度分析圖樣是用以求得透鏡的解析度。每一組解析度分 析圖樣包括了一水平分析解析度圖樣,一垂直解析度分析 圖樣。水平分析解析度圖樣是由垂直線組以分析透鏡的水 平分析解析度。每一垂直以等距分關。垂直解析度分析圖 樣是由不透明線组所組成用以分析造鏡的垂直解析度。這 (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 裝-----V BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: Traditional scanning systems can be roughly divided into two parts, palm-type and platform-type systems. The scanning system uses the focused reflected light to generate an image signal through a photon detector (P h. T. De e t e c t 0 r) for image processing ^. The conventional scanning device includes a visible light source, a lens, and a lens group to guide the reflected light to the CCD. The typical method for image capture is to pass the document through a CCD device placed in front. The CCD device is composed of many small and individual semiconductor receivers arranged in a linear array. After the document is scanned by the CCD, individual linear segments of the document are captured by the CCD. A pre-processing element is used to respond to an image signal and adjust the DC gain of the image signal. An analog-to-digital annunciator is used to convert the adjusted image signal into a digital signal, and a post-processing element is used to generate Image code for shading and gamma correction. Calibration is an important step in setting up a scanning system. It requires an alignment pad 10 for calibration, as shown in the first figure. The calibration board includes a set of black patterns i 2 for boundary calibration. Boundary calibration is based on Chinese paper standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) using this paper scale (please read the notes on the back before filling in this note) ί, Λ 'Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A74Q3884 _ B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 5. Description of the invention () T '~~ — To define the saturating fan garden of the CCD. The height of the calibration plate 10 is used for horizontal calibration. The horizontal calibration determines whether the line hidden by the CCD is horizontal. The resolution of the lens is determined by the vertical line group 14 of the calibration plate 10. The calibration signal is reflected on the oscilloscope for analysis. However, it is very difficult to analyze the calibration signal on the oscilloscope to achieve the correct result of CCD and lens. With traditional calibration methods, horizontal and vertical resolutions and the magnification of the lens cannot be accurately obtained. In addition, boundary calibration and resolution analysis cannot be done at the same time. Therefore, the CCD and lens are difficult to do with traditional: calibration methods. Therefore, a calibration method for the CCD and the lens of the scanning system is extremely needed. Object and Summary of the Invention: In view of the shortcomings in the above background of the invention, the scanning system of the present invention includes an image sensor for enlarging an image of an object. The calibration plate is placed in front of the image sensor. The lens is placed between the calibration plate and the image sensor. The calibration board includes a set of boundary calibration patterns connected to the two terminals of the calibration board. Form at least one set of three or more analysis patterns on the calibration plate. The resolution analysis pattern is used to obtain the resolution of the lens. Each set of resolution analysis patterns includes a horizontal analysis resolution pattern and a vertical resolution analysis pattern. The horizontal analysis resolution pattern is a group of vertical lines to analyze the horizontal analysis resolution of the lens. Each vertical divides at equal intervals. The vertical resolution analysis pattern is composed of opaque line groups to analyze the vertical resolution of the mirror. This (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page)

The reflection light of the first group of resolution analysis patterns 34 is condensed by the lens 40. The collected light is then transmitted to the image sensor 20 to generate an image signal. The image signal can be analyzed by the resolution of the lens 40. This means that when the light is scanned at the center of the calibration plate 30, the resolution analysis pattern 34 can be used to obtain the resolution of the lens 40. Similarly, when the light source is scanned on the right-hand side and the left-hand side of the scanned object, the second and third sets of resolution analysis patterns 3 and 4 can be used to analyze the resolution of the lens 4 〇 Each set of resolution analysis patterns 3 4 includes a horizontal (X resolution) analysis pattern 3 4 a and a vertical (γ resolution) analysis pattern 3 4 b.

The vertical resolution analysis pattern is composed of opaque line groups to analyze the vertical resolution of the lens. These opaque line groups are preferably inclined by 5-10 degrees relative to the vertical lines. The larger the angle of f The higher the Y resolution but the lower the X resolution. Therefore, the slant line can be used to express the quality of the Y resolution. Furthermore, the second and third sets of resolution analysis patterns 3 4 can provide more benefits as It is described as follows: the image sensor 2 〇 may not be perpendicular to the lens 40 before the scanner is completely installed. Therefore, the second and third sets of resolution analysis patterns 3 4 can be used to provide a broken image sensor 2 0 Whether it is perpendicular to the lens 40. If the second and third sets of resolution analysis patterns 3 4 疋 are the same, it means that the image sensor 2 0 is perpendicular to the lens 40.

In addition, the X and Y resolution analysis pattern 34 can be used to know the magnification m of the lens 40. In theory, the pixel A is well known The amount can be determined by the distance L between the second and second sets of resolution analysis patterns 34. Assuming that the number of pixels scanned by the image sensor 20 is B, the magnification m of the lens 40 is determined by the following formula : Ra = l- (AB) / A.
