ABSTRACT:
A scanner for obtaining an image of an object placed on an at least partially transparent platform, wherein the platform is defined by edge portions and has at least including a first scan area and a second scan area. In one embodiment, the scanner includes a white area formed at least partially around the edge portions of the platform with a plurality of markers, optical means for sequentially scanning consecutive partial images of the object from the first scan area and the second scan area, respectively, wherein each of the consecutive partial images include an image of at least one of the plurality of markers, and an image processing system for using the image of the at least one of the plurality of markers in each of the consecutive partial images as a reference to combine the consecutive partial images so as to form a substantially complete image of the object corresponding to a full scan of the first scan area and the second scan area.
