A method for scanning photographs

Abstract

The invention discloses method to scan photo. The method comprises: prestore mask information determined by scan mask; scan entire zone by user's scan parameter and obtain an image document; according to mask information and user's parameter, divide the single image document into image document of at least one corresponding to every photo. By the method of this invention, user can scan many photos during one process, divide of auto multiple photos into some image documents simultaneously, need not user's hand work; avoid fussy image processing work after scanning, increase divide rate of photo and scan efficiency of multiple photos; finally, as putting the photos following scan mask, the method not only increase putting efficiency, but also avoid photo scanned oblique for putting photo position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to computer digital image input technology, in particular to a method for scanning photos. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of IT technology, the prices of computer peripherals such as scanners and all-in-one machines have been continuously reduced, and they have become more and more popular among individual users. After individual users have purchased the above-mentioned equipment, most of them have the desire to input the paper photos taken by themselves into the computer by scanning, and then use the computer to save, appreciate, process or send them to others. [0003] For users who use a flatbed scanner or an all-in-one with a flatbed scanning unit, when scanning multiple photos, in order to improve efficiency, usually multiple photos are placed on the flatbed of the scanning device at the same time, and all photos are scanned by the scanning software. Scan to the same image file, and then use im...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] This process has many disadvantages: users must learn to use image editing software such as PHOTOSHOP; from the original image file containing all photos, each photo is cut out one by one and saved as an independent file. It is cumbersome; it is difficult for users to place photos horizontally and vertically on the smooth scanning flatbed, which will increase the process of rotating and fine-tuning during subsequent image editing, and this process is also very cumbersome; when users place photos on the scanning flatbed , it is not necessarily possible to place the maximum number of photos each time, thereby reducing the efficiency of the scanning operation

But this method has the following three disadvantages: First, there must be enough space between the photos, otherwise the software cannot distinguish them

Second, software programming is complex

The above method requires software to perform complex calculations for automatically identifying image boundaries and automatically adjusting image angles, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of work for scanning software developers

Third, the amount of calculation is large, which affects the speed of scanning
