Arrangement for lifting image of checks, with Xenon lamp, Fluorescent lamp or like source of stable-wavelength-output and CCPD Camera means selected to exhibit &ldquo;close-to-human&rdquo; spectral response plus a photopic filter, disposed upstream of the Camera and adapted to shift its received image-light spectrum in the direction of that which is optimal for the human-eye.

Illumination for imaging

Arrangement for lifting image of checks, with Xenon lamp, Fluorescent lamp or like source of stable-wavelength-output and CCPD Camera means selected to exhibit 'close-to-human' spectral response plus a photopic filter, disposed upstream of the Camera and adapted to shift its received image-light spectrum in the direction of that which is optimal for the human-eye.

Filtering illumination for image lift

Adjusting illumination for image lift

Adjusting illumination for image lift to match camera

A check Sorter-Imager-Processor with two (or more) imaging sites, each lit by a beam through a fibre-optic array, with a lens focusing the beam on each array such that a shift in lens-focus reduces output light from the array,--the two sites being thus 'matched' in light-intensity by merely focus-adjusting these lenses.

Methods for document illumination

A check Sorter-Imager-Processor with two (or more) imaging sites, each lit by a beam through a fiber-optic array, with a lens focusing the beam on each array such that a shift in lens-focus reduces output light from the array--the two sites being thus 'matched' in light-intensity by merely focus-adjusting these lenses.

Document imaging system with human-eye response photoptic filter means

A check Sorter-Imager-Processor with two (or more) imaging sites, each lit by a beam through a fibre-optic array, with a lens focusing the beam on each array such that a shift in lens-focus reduces output light from the array--the two sites being thus 'matched' in light-intensity by merely focus-adjusting these lenses.

Check imaging illumination with focus/defocus and fibre optic light

A check Sorter-Imager-Processor with two (or more) imaging sites, each lit by a beam through a fibre-optic array, with a lens focusing the beam on each array such that a shift in lens-focus reduces output light from the array, the two sites being thus 'matched' in light-intensity by merely focus-adjusting these lenses.

Document-imaging illumination arrangements with intensity with adjustment

Check processing apparatus including an offset pair of image-lift sites and an associated 'Heat-Dump', with this apparatus preferably built as an add-on, plug-in module to be used in a check-sorting system.

Electronic image lift
