Digitization of film, and more particularly film scanning, includes capturing light transmitted through the film so as to acquire a digitized image. This includes a captured frame comprising a digitized image of at least a portion of at least one image frame of a sequence of image frames, and at least a portion of one or more transport perforations. The method can further include determining an image offset corresponding to at least the captured frame on the basis of a comparison between at least one detected edge in the captured image and a corresponding datum location. A signal representing the image offset can be generated to enable alignment of at least the captured frame.

The applicant proposes a method and an apparatus to realize a faster, easier and more precise multispectral digitalization of films. The proposed method and apparatus ensure quality control of the multispectral film digitization using sensors and can correct the digital images for film shrinkage and deformation. This can allow for efficient digitization of films which can enable an effective automatization of the mass safeguarding of archived films. The proposed film digitizer apparatus can comprise a novel and improved light source module, which comprise a light assembly that can allow for better illumination of the film and shorter required exposure time that can lead to lower acquisition time for each of the various wavelength image acquisitions for each film image. Monitoring of the spectral distribution and/or the temperature of the light sources can ensure quality control of the digitalization.

A photography system includes an observation scope inserted into a hole of a case in which a plurality of subjects, which are cyclically disposed around a rotary shaft and rotate around the rotary shaft, are housed along with the rotary shaft and the hole is formed to penetrate through the case, the observation scope being configured to sequentially acquire light from the plurality of subjects. The photograph system includes an imaging section configured to generate an image by continuously imaging light acquired by the observation scope; a sensor configured to continuously detect states of the plurality of subjects which rotate and sequentially output detection values; and an image acquisition section configured to detect a position of the subject based on cyclic variation of the detection value and acquire the image including the subject at the detected position which is a predetermined position.
