Question 2 Solution

Question 3.0 Solution


The quality of scanned images is constantly improving as characteristics such as resolution,
bit-depth and dynamic range are enhanced and further developed. More sophisticated image
editing and optical character recognition software development is also resulting in superior
quality scans. Future advances are expected to result in the incorporation of specialized
scanners into other types of technology such as the recently developed digital camera. This
device allows the user to take pictures of three-dimensional objects much like a regular
camera, except that instead of using film, the objects are scanned by the camera in a similar
process to the functioning of a flatbed scanner.
The relatively new area of sensor technology in the form of a contact image sensor (CIS) (see
Appendix 1) is expected to improve the functionality of scanners and the quality of images as
it "replaces the cumbersome optical reduction technique with a single row of sensors" (Grotta
and Wiener 1998, p. 1). Developers have already been able to produce a CIS scanner which
is thinner, lighter, more energy efficient and cheaper to manufacture than a traditional CCD
base device. However, the quality of the scan is not as good as its counterparts. Further
development of CIS technology is needed to improve image quality and colour, and to address
the problem of a limited 300 or 600 dpi.
