EXPOSURE DETERMINING COLOR FILM SCANNING APPARATUS FOR A PHOTOFINISHING SYSTEM

摘要

Color film scanning apparatus employs a novel trilinear array image sensor with photosites spaced apart in the linear direction of array by a pitch which is a multiple of the photosite dimension in the linear direction. The resultant scanning apparatus allows positioning of the image sensor in close proximity to the film without the need for interposition of optics for beam splitting or image focusing on the sensor arrays.
