Abrégé

A scanning system comprises a scanning device and a computing device. The scanning device scans an object to produce an original image, wherein the original image contains a plurality of colors. The computing device is electrically connected to the scanning device and performs an image processing method including steps: receiving the original image generated by the scanning device; specifying a number of the plurality of layers; assigning each color of the original image to one of the plurality of layers; determining a height of each layer; and mapping the height of each layer to the original image based on each color contained by each layer to produce a height image.

An image scanning apparatus includes an image capturing unit, a pulse driving unit and a control unit. The image capturing unit captures an image of an object. The pulse driving unit drives the image capturing unit and the object along a scanning direction to move with respect to each other among multiple pulse nodes, so as to scan the object. The control unit is electrically connected to the pulse driving unit and the image capturing unit, and the control unit controls the image capturing unit to capture multiple images of the object between adjacent pulse nodes, so as to synthesize a scanned image corresponding to the object.

An image scanning system comprises an image capture unit, a transmission unit, an adapter, a first driving unit and a second driving unit. The image scanning system uses the first driving unit connected with the adapter and the transmission unit to drive the image capture unit to move along an optical axis to instantly vary the distance between the image capture unit and the object. The image scanning system can realize high-precision submicron-scale transmission in simpler structure and lower cost.

Abrégé

An image scanning system of the present invention uses an image capturing unit moving unidirectionally along an optical axis direction, such that an object is positioned within a range of the depth of field of the image capturing unit. The optical axis direction is perpendicular to a plane, and a platform bearing the object and the plane form an included angle, such that multiple inclined surfaces of the object face the same end of a scanning direction, or such that one of the multiple inclined surfaces is parallel to the plane and other inclined surfaces face the same end of the scanning direction, wherein the scanning direction is parallel to the plane. Therefore, in the process of one-time scan, the scanning height of the image capturing unit only rises unidirectionally or descends unidirectionally and has no turning point, and thus, no backlash problem will happen.

A calibrating device including a pixel unit array and a pattern is provided. The pixel unit array comprises parallel warp lines and parallel weft lines. Each warp line crosses each weft line to define pixel units all over the pixel unit array. The pattern comprises some pixel units having a gray level different from a gray level of remainder pixel units in the pixel unit array. The pattern comprises spaced bars parallel to one another and not parallel to the warp lines and the weft lines. A characteristic of the pattern is utilized to define target pixel units and comparison pixel units, and the comparison procedure is implemented with the characteristic of the pattern. Positions and gap sizes of gaps between image sensors are mapped out by comparing the target pixel units with the comparison pixel units. The quality of a scanned image is improved with compensation for the gaps.
