The use of scanners to provide digital image files is rapidly growing. Currently there is no standardized method to determine the dynamic range of scanners. Therefore the data reported in technical specifications can be determined using different methods. An ISO 21550 Standard to measure the ability of scanners to reproduce tones especially in the dark areas of the original is currently under d...

In this report, we describe, justify and assess the quality of our design for a 3D scanner using Microsoft Kinect. A 3D model of an object can be obtained by taking both color and depth images from different viewpoints. We developed a streamline and a novel combination algorithm for this task. In the process, we had to solve problems involving noise, miss-alignment between color and depth, comb...

Paper presents procedures and experiences on using low cost desktop scanner Epson Expression 1640XL for orthophoto production. Complete process of scanning, scanner calibration and removal of systematic distortions of scanned images caused by scanner is developed and tested on several large projects of orthophoto production. Special, user-friendly software is developed for these purposes. The s...

Introduction: Mini Computed Tomography (mini-CT) was suggested in biomedical research to investigate tissues and small animals. We present designed and built a mini x-ray computed tomography (mini-CT) for small animals as well as industrial component imaging. Materials and Methods: The system used in this study includes a X-ray tube 20kV to 160kV and a flat pa...

food insecurity, as a multi-faceted problem with far-reaching health and societal consequences, is prevalent among disadvantaged households. household food insecurity has made the notion operationally useful in the design, implementation, and evaluation of programs and policies. this study was to investigate the socio-demographic associates contributing to severity of food insecurity among vuln...

Scanning was once the domain of specialized value-added resellers, imaging hardware distributors and geeky “systems integrators.” These three sales channels catered to an equally obscure group of imaging-focused employees in the back offi ce operations at large fi nancial services operations, insurance companies, government agencies and wherever else paper showed up in huge quantities. In the p...

Network Security Scanner (NSS) is a tool that allows auditing and monitoring remote network computers for possible vulnerabilities, checks your network for all potential methods that a hacker might use to attack it. Network Security Scanner is a complete networking utilities package that includes a wide range of tools for network security auditing, vulnerability Auditing, scanning, monitoring a...
