Functions of the image processing system are summarized below.
- Reader controller PCB
The reader controller PCB is used to process images on a line-by-line basis. Its major functions are as follows:
1)Analog image processing
- CMOS sensor drive
- CMOS sensor output gain correction and offset correction
- CMOS sensor output A/D conversion
2)Digital image processing
- Shading correction
4.3.6.2 CMOS Sensor Drive
iR2016J / iR2016 / iR2020 / / iR2016i / iR2020i
The CMOS sensor used in this machine is a 1-line linear image sensor consisting of 7488 photocells. After completion of photoelectric conversion in the light-
receiving block, the signals are output to the AP circuit in the reader controller PCB in parallel for each channel (total eight channels) of the CMOS sensor array.
