An object of the present disclosure is to implement highly accurate image connecting processing between line sensors. One embodiment of the present invention is an image reading apparatus having: a plurality of line image sensors arrayed in a first direction; a conveyance unit configured to convey a document in a second direction intersecting with the first direction; a calculation unit configured to calculate a correction value for correcting a deviation at the time of connecting image data obtained by each of the plurality of line image sensors based on read data obtained by reading a chart with the plurality of line image sensors, on which a plurality of dot patterns is printed and which is conveyed by the conveyance unit; a measurement unit configured to measure an amount of conveyance in the first direction in a case where the document is conveyed in the second direction by the conveyance unit.

A transport apparatus includes: an apparatus body; an opening and closing unit attached to the apparatus body so as to be openable and closable between a closed position where an upper surface of the apparatus body is covered and an open position where the upper surface of the apparatus body is exposed, the opening and closing unit including, inside the opening and closing unit, a transport path along which a target material is transported; a transport path member that has a transport path surface constituting a part of the transport path, is rotatably supported by the opening and closing unit at one end portion side of the transport path member, and is configured such that the transport path is opened when the other end portion side of the transport path member moves downward from the opening and closing unit; and a hook portion that is rotatably attached to the other end portion side of the transport path member, is configured to hold the transport path member in a closed state of the transport path, in a hooked state in which the hook portion is hooked on a hooked portion of the opening and closing unit, based on a force applied toward a first rotation direction along which the hook portion is hooked to the hooked portion, and is configured to rotate in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction by coming into contact with the hooked portion while the transport path member is pushed upward by the upper surface of the apparatus body when the opening and closing unit is moved from the open position to the closed position in a non-hooked state in which the hook portion is not hooked on the hooked portion.

A camera device for shooting at 360-degree angle and displaying images, and a control system are provided. The camera device includes a supporting platform, a supporting spindle, a supporting base, a rotating shooting bracket, and a video display device. The control system includes at least one wireless communication module configured to receive video data or control commands sent by an external control terminal, a storage module configured to store preset video data, and receive and store the video data transmitted from the wireless communication module, and a control module configured to be in communication connection with the wireless communication module, and the storage module. The control module includes an image processing unit and a display processing unit. The image processing unit obtains the video data stored in the storage module and performs analysis processing on the video data to obtain processed video data.

An image reading apparatus includes first and second first conveyance rollers, transparent members, reading units, and opposing rollers, and includes a driving unit. The first reading unit reads an image on a sheet first surface through the first transparent member at a first reading position. The first opposing roller is opposed to the first transparent member at the first reading position. The second reading unit reads an image on a sheet second surface through the second transparent member at a second reading position. The second opposing roller is opposed to the second transparent member at the second reading position. The second conveyance roller is arranged where a sheet trailing edge passes through the first reading position while the second conveyance roller conveys the sheet. The driving unit drives the first opposing roller so that a first opposing roller circumferential speed is faster than a second conveyance roller circumferential speed.

A document reading device includes a document conveyer, a first reader reading, in a first reading position, a first surface of a conveyed document such that a read area is larger than the conveyed document, a second reader reading, in a second reading position, a surface (second surface) opposite to the first surface such that a read area is larger than the conveyed document, a region detector executing a process of detecting a first document region that is a region of a document in first document image data and a process of detecting a second document region that is a region of the document in second document image data, and a cropping processor cropping a document portion on the first surface as first cropped image data and cropping a document portion on the second surface as second cropped image data, based on one of the document regions successfully detected.

A reading apparatus, having a platen glass, a document cover, a conveyer, a reading sensor, a document supporting member, a pressing plate, and a linkage assembly, is provided. The document cover is movable between an open position and a closed position. The document supporting member is movable between a first position, where the document supporting member faces a reading surface of the reading sensor, and a second position, where the document supporting member is separated from the reading surface. The pressing plate is movable between a third position, where the pressing plate is attached to a lower side of the document cover, and a fourth position, where the pressing plate is removed from the lower side. The linkage assembly moves the document supporting member from the first position to the second position in conjunction with the pressing member moving from the third position to the fourth position.

A reading apparatus, having a document tray, an ejection tray, a conveyer path connecting the document tray and the ejection tray and having a curved section, a conveyer to convey an original document in a conveying orientation, a first reading sensor, and a second reading sensor, is provided. The first reading sensor is located upstream in the conveying orientation from the curved section in the conveyer path. The first reading sensor optically reads a first side of the original document from below. The second reading sensor is located upstream in the conveying orientation from the first reading sensor in the conveyer path. The second reading sensor optically reads a second side of the original document from below. The first side and the second side are sides of the original document that face upward and downward, respectively, in the state where an original document is placed on the document tray.

An image reading apparatus includes an image reading sensor, a transparent plate, a guiding member, a first roller pair, and a second roller pair provided upstream of the first roller pair with respect to a sheet feeding direction. The first roller pair and the second roller pair are disposed so as to nip a sheet in each of nips of the first roller pair and the second roller pair when a leading end of the sheet enters between the guiding member and the transparent plate.
