DOCUMENT IMAGING SYSTEM HAVING CAMERA-SCANNER APPARATUS AND PERSONAL COMPUTER BASED PROCESSING SOFTWARE

摘要

A method for processing images in an imaging device includes the steps of using real time scalar software (RTSS) for: receiving scalar input data (SID) from video preview application software (VPAS) within a host computer; and performing scaling and cropping operations within the imaging device on raw image frame data to create a scaled down frame (SDF) within the imaging device. As a result, images of high resolution can be transmitted efficiently with significantly reduced amounts of data over the data links, and achieve a high number of frames per second.
