A reading apparatus includes: a reading section configured to generate a first image being a read image of a first face of a document sheet and a second image being a read image of a second face of the document sheet; if there is a brightness change area including a bright part having a brightness change in a convex state and a dark part being in contact with the bright part and having a brightness change in a concave state at an identical position on both of the images, an identification section configured to identify the brightness change area as a wrinkle area; and an output section configured to output the first image having been subjected to image processing of the identified wrinkle area.

An image processing device with intelligent typesetting function and method thereof is provided. A processor is connected to an image capture module, a memory module and an output module respectively. A first image is acquired by the image capture module and a set of scanning position information in the memory module. A set of typesetting parameters is applied to the corresponding scanning position information. The processor continues to obtain a second side image through the image capture module and applies the set of typesetting parameters. The processor generates a typesetting image based on the set of typesetting parameters, the first side image and the second side image, and causes the output module to output the typesetting image. Through intuitive scanning procedures and intelligent and quick application of preset image typesetting methods, tedious operations are reduced, thereby improving efficiency and convenience.

An image reading apparatus includes a first image reading unit, a second image reading unit provided on a side opposite from the first image reading unit with respect to a sheet feeding passage, a first guiding member, a second guiding member, a first unit holding the first image reading unit and the second guiding member, and a second unit holding the second image reading unit and the first guiding member. One of the first unit and the second unit is movable relative to the other unit so as to open the sheet feeding passage.

An image sensing apparatus, an image scanning device and a scanning method of the image scanning device are provided. The image sensing apparatus includes an image sensing assembly configured to sterilize and scan an object to be scanned, the image sensing assembly including a frame having an accommodating cavity and an opening communicating with the accommodating cavity; a contact image sensor, configured to read image information of the object to be scanned, the contact image sensor including detection light sources configured to emit detection beams; and a sterilization module, the sterilization module and the contact image sensor being sequentially arranged in the accommodating cavity in a first direction, and the sterilization module including an ultraviolet light source capable of emitting ultraviolet light to sterilize the object to be scanned.

An image reading apparatus comprises a first reading section; a second reading section; a conveyance section which conveys the sheet sequentially to the first reading section and the second reading section; a control section which executes a first storage operation of storing image data read by the first reading section in a storage section and a second storage operation of storing image data read by the second reading section in the storage section, determines whether the reading operations of the first reading section and the second reading section, the first and the second storage operations are ended normally and deletes, if any one of the operations is not ended normally, the image data of the sheet not scanned normally stored in the storage section.

An image scanning apparatus comprises: a first image scanning unit that performs image scanning of a first surface of an original; a second image scanning unit that performs image scanning of a second surface of the original; and a control unit that controls output channels for outputting analog signals from the first image scanning unit, wherein the control unit changes, between a case of single-sided scanning and a case of both-sided scanning, the output channels of the analog signals output from a part of scanning region in a plurality of scanning regions of the first image scanning unit, and changes, between a case of single-sided scanning and a case of both-sided scanning, the number of output channels for outputting the analog signals from the first image scanning unit.

A two-sided scanning device includes a first image scanning module, a second image scanning module, a first scanning background component, a first brightness calibration component, a second scanning background component, and a second brightness calibration component. When the second image scanning module moves relative to the first image scanning module to a scanning position, the second image scanning module drives the first scanning background component to move relative to the first image scanning module, so that the first image scanning module and the second image scanning module are aligned with the first scanning background component and the second scanning background component, respectively. Therefore, the first scanning background component and the second scanning background component can be scanning backgrounds for the first image scanning module and the second image scanning module to generate a scanning image of an object with a size corresponding to an actual size of the object.

An image scanning device includes a platen, an image scanning unit that scans at a single time documents placed on the platen and generates pieces of image data, and an image data processing unit that performs processing of the pieces of image data. When the image scanning unit generates pieces of first image data by scanning first surfaces of the documents, each of which is placed in one of predetermined areas on the platen, and generates pieces of second image data by scanning surfaces opposite to the first surfaces of the documents, each of which is turned over and placed again in the one of the predetermined areas, the image data processing unit associates one of the pieces of the first image data with a corresponding one of the pieces of the second image data for each of the predetermined areas, as image data of the front and back surfaces.

An image reading apparatus includes a first unit, a second unit that is pivotable against the first unit, and a controller. The first unit includes a platen, a member, and a movable first reader. The second unit includes an original tray, a conveyance unit that conveys an original from the original tray, a static second reader. The controller determines an opening/closing state of the second unit against the first unit based on read data obtained when the second reader reads the member. The first reader reads the first side of an original conveyed by the conveyance unit and the second reader reads the second side of the original when the original placed on the original tray is read. The first reader reads the first side while moving under the original when the original placed on the platen is read.

Provided is a more desirable product. A scanner has a first sensor configured to read a document on a platen glass; a second sensor configured to read a first side of a moving document; and a third sensor configured to read a second side, which is the opposite side as the first side, of a moving document. The first sensor forms a reduced size image of the document; and the second sensor and third sensor image form a same-size image of light from the document.
