| 20110261423 | COVER DEVICE FOR AN IMAGE SCANNER - An image acquisition apparatus for acquiring an image of a document including a housing having an internal space, a substantially transparent window, a CCD sensor array, a light source for illuminating the document and an opaque cover device for blocking light from escaping the internal space of the housing through the transparent window. The cover device includes an opaque wall that combined with the document, operationally blocks the escaping of light from the internal space of the housing. The cover device further includes a primary insertion slit, a document removing mechanism and a removal slit for removing a small form document through the removal slit. Optionally, the cover device further includes a second insertion slit for inserting the small form document. The width of the second insertion slit is smaller than the width of the first insertion slit. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20110128360 | SYSTEM FOR TEMPLATE BASED EXTRACTING INFORMATION FROM AN IDENTITY CARD - The present invention provides a unique and novel system for acquiring digital image frames of identification documents such as driver's license, passports, or medical insurance records using a digital camera so as to establish a high resolution image frame and extracting data automatically with machine vision tools so as to acquire accurate data. The present invention teaches also a system that acquires multi-spectral image frames of both sides of the identification document. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20080285094 | UNIFORM ILLUMINATION FOR CAMERA BASED SCANNING DEVICES - A system for imaging a document including an imaging apparatus, which includes a camera positioned inside the imaging apparatus, the camera configured to acquire a plurality of images of a document in front of the camera. The document is place behind a glass window on a wall opposing the camera. The imaging apparatus includes an illumination system which is positioned around the glass window but outside the field of view (FOV) of the camera. The imaging apparatus further includes an opaque cover, which covers the whole glass window area. The cover includes a slit to insert a document to be imaged, a slit to remove the document and a groove that enables a user to move the document with his finger. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080212825 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELECTRONICALLY COMBINING IMAGES TAKEN BY TWO OR MORE ADJACENT IMAGE SENSORS - An apparatus comprising two or more adjacent wide angle cameras, such as CMOS cameras, for imaging a document, and methods for combining corresponding images into one image while correcting radial, scale, rotation, translation and other linear or nonlinear deformations. | 09-04-2008 |
