20130141487 | MEDIUM TRANSPORTATION DEVICE AND RECORDING APPARATUS - A pair of transportation rollers is configured such that a transportation driven roller is disposed at a position which is displaced downstream with respect to a position vertically above a transportation driving roller and feeds out the paper sheet guiding in obliquely downward direction. The entering direction of the paper sheet fed out from the pair of transportation rollers is determined so as to intersect the plane of the holding surface of the support table. A translucent glass that serves as a detection window of an imaging unit disposed at a position opposite to the paper sheet with respect to the holding surface is located downstream in the transportation direction with respect to an intersection position between the entering direction of the paper sheet and the holding surface. Specifically, the translucent glass is located in the proximity of an abutment position where the paper sheet abuts against the holding surface. | 06-06-2013 |
20140118450 | TRANSPORTATION DEVICE AND RECORDING APPARATUS - A transportation device includes a transportation unit that transports continuous paper, and an image capturing unit that has a light irradiator capable of irradiating the continuous paper which is transported by the transportation unit with light and detects a transportation amount of the continuous paper based on reflected light of the light irradiated onto the continuous paper by the light irradiator. The light irradiator is arranged so as to irradiate the continuous paper with light obliquely with respect to the detection region of the continuous paper from the width direction side of the continuous paper, which is orthogonal to the transportation direction of the continuous paper. | 05-01-2014 |
20140125729 | TRANSPORTATION DEVICE AND RECORDING APPARATUS - A transportation device includes: a transportation section that transports a continuous paper; and an imaging unit that detects a transportation amount of the continuous paper which is transported by the transportation section. The imaging unit includes a lens barrel; a light irradiation unit disposed in the lens barrel and capable of radiating light on the continuous paper; a condensing lens which is disposed in a position farther than the light irradiation section with respect to the continuous paper in the lens barrel and condenses a reflected light when the light is radiated from the light irradiation section to the continuous paper; and an imaging element which is disposed in a position farther than the condensing lens with respect to the continuous paper P in the lens barrel and captures an image by receiving the reflected light condensed by the condensing lens. | 05-08-2014 |
20140132687 | TRANSPORTATION DEVICE AND RECORDING APPARATUS - A transportation device includes a transportation unit that transports a transportation target material, a supporting surface that supports the transportation target material which is transported by the transportation unit, a first suction hole that opens in the supporting surface in order to suck the transportation target material which is supported by the supporting surface, a light transmission portion that is exposed in the supporting surface and through which light is permitted to pass, a detector that has a light irradiator capable of irradiating the transportation target material which is supported by the supporting surface with light through the light transmission portion and detects a transportation amount of the transportation target material based on reflected light of the light with which the light irradiator has irradiated the transportation target material, and a second suction hole that opens in the supporting surface at at least one of positions adjacent to the light transmission portion. | 05-15-2014 |
20140168294 | TRANSPORT APPARATUS AND RECORDING APPARATUS - A transport apparatus includes: a transport unit that transports a transport target; an optical detection unit, including a light irradiation unit capable of irradiating the transport target with light and a light-receiving unit that receives light, that detects the transport target; and an output unit that compares a light receiving result from the light-receiving unit with a set value that has been set in advance and outputs a result of the comparison. | 06-19-2014 |
20150174922 | TRANSPORTATION DEVICE AND RECORDING APPARATUS - A transportation device includes a transportation unit that transports continuous paper, and an image capturing unit that has a light irradiator capable of irradiating the continuous paper which is transported by the transportation unit with light and detects a transportation amount of the continuous paper based on reflected light of the light irradiated onto the continuous paper by the light irradiator. The light irradiator is arranged so as to irradiate the continuous paper with light obliquely with respect to the detection region of the continuous paper from the width direction side of the continuous paper, which is orthogonal to the transportation direction of the continuous paper. | 06-25-2015 |

20130265412 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - An image captured with flash light and an image captured without flash light are each divided into a plurality of regions, and a luminance value is calculated for each region. Based on a ratio of a difference between the luminance value of each region in the image captured with flash light and the luminance value of the corresponding region in the image captured without flash light to the luminance value of the corresponding region in the image captured without flash light, a degree of influence of light representing the influence of light emitted by the light emitting device on the luminance value of each region in the image captured with flash light is calculated. Regions in which the degrees of influence of light are larger than a predetermined threshold are determined as illuminated regions. | 10-10-2013 |

20160028954 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS THAT SETS MOVING IMAGE AREA, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - An image processing apparatus that properly sets a moving image area according to an image. An image processor generates a combined image, by setting one of a plurality of images as a basic image and disposing a moving image generated from the plurality of images in a moving image area which is designated in part of the basic image. The image processor sets a still area in part of the basic image. A system controller causes the basic image to be displayed on a display section. A user performs a touch operation on the display section displaying the basic image, whereby the moving image area is designated. When the moving image area is designated in a manner overlapping the still area, the image processor performs image combining by deleting the overlapping area from the moving image area. | 01-28-2016 |
