ABSTRACT:
A digital scanner, which is capable of scanning a document having L scanlines, includes M optical scanning systems wherein M is equal to or greater than 2. Each optical scanning system scans only L/M scanlines of the document such that an area of the document scanned by a single optical scanning system does not overlap an area of the document scanned by another single optical scanning system. The digital scanner also includes a plurality of parallel image processing circuits, each connected to one of the M optical scanning systems, to produce a plurality of sets of digital image data. Each set of image data corresponds to an image scanned by a single optical scanning system. A stitching circuit is connected to the plurality of parallel image processing circuits to stitch together the plurality of sets of digital image data to produce a complete image. The image data generated by the stitching circuit can be used to display or store the scanned image Moreover, a printing system can be connected to the stitching circuit of the digital scanner to create a digital copier.
