Image Acquisition



 

  影像擷取(Image Acquisition)的目的是將影像從真實的世界中,放入 電腦的數位世界裡。它是影像處理的第一步,也是很重要的一步,因為以後 處理的所以影像資料都是由此而來,除非經過專家的特殊處理,否則任何經過 影像處理過後資料的品質,都不可能比此步驟中所得到的影像來得好。故此, 我們在影像擷取的過程中一定要做好品質控制(Quality Control)。以下簡單 介紹一些常見的影像擷取工具。



Digital camera

This allows the scanning of different sizes of originals

Drum scanner

source material is placed on a drum which is then rotated past a high-intensity light source that captures the image.

Drum scanners tend to offer the highest image quality, but require flexible source material of limited size that can be wrapped around a drum.

Flatbed scanner

Source material is placed flat on the glass and captured by CCD arrays that pass below it.

Flatbed scanners require source material to be no larger than the glass and to lie face-down and flat.

CCD Array: Charge-coupled device array. Light-sensitive diodes used in scanners and electronic cameras. These usually sweepacross an image and, when exposed to light, generate a series of digital signals that are converted into pixel values.

Slide scanners

Slide scanners can generally scan only 35-mm transparent source materials.

Video frame grabber

It is attached to a standard video camera.

Anything that can be filmed by a video camera can be digitized by a video frame-grabber, including three-dimensional objects and motion video.

It is limited by video image quality.
