Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for digitally imaging and storing a document with a digital image capture device and with a connectable to the digital image capture device, formed by a computer evaluation circuit for the digital image stored in a memory.
- digital image capture devices are usually used in the form of scanners, via which the captured digital pixels of the images are stored in order to manage the digital image files obtained therefrom with the aid of appropriate programs using computers.
- the stored image files can be processed and printed out according to the respective requirements via evaluation circuits formed by the computers.
- the expense associated with these known scanners for the digital imaging and storage of documents makes such usually stationary devices unsuitable for mobile use.
- these known scanners can only be used economically if the documents to be imaged can be presented in batches.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to design a device for digital imaging and storage of documents so that an economical detection and storage of the detected documents is possible on site, provided that the handling is as simple as possible.
- the digital image capture device consists of a digital camera that two digital image files from the stored digital image via the evaluation circuit on the one hand for color images with low resolution and on the other hand for monochrome images in a two-tone display with a high resolution can be derived and read into memory units that a portable, case-like container is provided for the computer, its input device and the digital camera, the open lid of which forms a stand for a cantilever for receiving the digital camera, and that the container is an open cover for the trunk as Has edition for the document to be displayed.
- imaging by the digital camera is not limited to two-dimensional documents. Since two digital image files are additionally derived from the digital illustration of a document via the evaluation circuit, which on the one hand result in a color image with low resolution and on the other hand result in a monochrome image in a two-tone representation with high resolution, the large amount of data that may be required for the digital illustration of a document can be considerable be reduced without fear of a significant loss of information.
- the monochrome two-tone representation corresponds to the usual black-and-white analog copy of a document and, due to the high resolution, brings with it an imaging accuracy that is sufficient for post-processing, for example by means of font recognition.
- monochrome two-tone representations cause a loss of image information in the case of colored documents or different shades of gray, this loss of information is largely compensated for by the image file for the color reproduction, which does not require high resolution, because the main thing is that this color representation of the document shown on a screen display, for example, to be able to read a lettering with a colored marking.
- the size of the two image files can thus be kept small in comparison to the digital image of a document captured by the digital camera, without having to do without the essential image information.
- the available memories can thus advantageously be used for storing a large number of documents, the stored image files advantageously being able to be managed with conventional programs due to the usual file formats used.
- the use of a commercially available digital camera also brings with it an essential requirement for the mobile use of such devices, because these devices can be combined in a portable, case-like container.
- the opened lid of the container forms a stand for a boom for receiving the digital camera, with an open cover for the trunk of the loading form a support for the document to be displayed.
- the computer held in the trunk only needs to be connected to the digital camera via a corresponding control and data transmission cable in order to be able to begin digitally imaging a document placed on the cover of the trunk.
- a suitable, rechargeable power source must be provided in the case-like container in order to be able to supply both the computer and the digital camera with energy.
- the input device provided for the control of the computer or the digital camera can be stowed in the trunk like the digital camera for transport.
- the boom for receiving the digital camera can be arranged detachably in the lid of the container, there are particularly simple structural relationships when the boom is pivotally mounted in the lid of the container, especially since in such a case, for example, the power supply for the digital camera by an im Boom arranged cable can be ensured.
- the device for digitally imaging and storing a document has a portable, case-like container 1, in the trunk 2 a computer 3 with a power source 4 in the form of a rechargeable battery with a power supply unit.
- the container 1 also has a pull-out compartment 5 for an input device 6 of the computer 3, it being possible advantageously to use a membrane keyboard.
- the trunk 2, which forms a receptacle 7 for a digital camera 8, can be closed by a cover 10 which can be pivoted about an axis 9 in order to obtain a support 11 for a document to be imaged.
- the lid 12, whose hinge joint is designated 13, forms a stand for a bracket 14 for receiving the digital camera 8 in a locked open position.
- This bracket 14 which can be pivoted about an axis 15 and locked in the pivoted-out position, forms with the opened lid 12 of the Container 1 is a camera tripod, which holds the digital camera 8 in a recording position perpendicular to the support 11, so that particularly favorable recording conditions are ensured for the detection of a document on the support 11.
- the boom 14 is additionally provided with an illumination device 16, for example a ring flash, the document to be imaged is additionally illuminated independently of the external lighting conditions.
- the digital camera 8 and the lighting device 16 are connected to the power source 4 like the computer 3.
- a screen 17 is provided, which is controlled on the one hand by the computer 3 and on the other hand via the digital camera 8.
- the computer 3 can therefore be operated in a conventional manner using the screen 17 via the input device 6.
- the image of the document to be recorded captured by the digital camera 8 is displayed with a correspondingly low resolution.
- the screen 17 can therefore be used as a viewfinder for the digital camera 8.
- the digital color image captured when the remote-controlled digital camera 8 is taken is transferred to the computer 3 and stored there in a memory 18.
- the data transmission can take place via a data carrier belonging to the digital camera 8 or directly.
- the digital image of the recorded document stored in the memory 18 is converted into two image files after a command input via the input device 6 in an evaluation circuit 19 of the computer 3, which are stored in storage units 20 and 21.
- These image files each represent a selection of the image data captured by the digital camera 8. While one digital image file contains a color representation of the captured digital image in a coarse resolution, the other of the two digital image files comprises a monochrome two-tone image with high resolution. Image information that has been lost in the monochrome image file can therefore also be queried via the image file for the colored image.
- the monochrome image file stored in the storage unit 21 is used to print out the imaged document, a monochrome image of the document of sufficient quality for printing or further processing, comparable to a conventional black and white, can be made available because of the considerably reduced amount of data - analog copy. If, despite the high resolution of the monochrome image file, certain image areas are not sufficiently readable due to the missing color information or missing gray values, the color image can additionally be output from the storage unit 20 to a screen which, despite the low resolution of the color image, also contains the missing information reproduces sufficient accuracy, especially since screens require a lower resolution from the outset. It need not be particularly emphasized that the computer 3 can also be used as a conventional computer, and data exchange with other computers via suitable interfaces is readily possible.
- the memory 18 for this digital image can be deleted because the digital image files derived from the digital image and stored in the storage units 20 and 21 provide sufficient information about the imaged Document included.
- the image files stored in these directories can be managed like other files, in particular if these files have a standard format, which is readily possible.
- the administration of the digitally recorded documents can of course only take place outside of the computer 3, whereby basic data for the classification in later databases can already be specified when the documents are captured via the digital camera 8.
