Abstract
In an image reading apparatus, a spot-light position calculator calculates a distance between a document original and a solid state imaging device using the output signals of a light sensing device, which receives a reflected spot light from the original. A image reading section is moved to a read position according to the calculation results, by a drive mechanism. Thereafter, the original is read. A distorted-image processor extends the data on the image on the undulated portion of the original and corrects the density of the extended image data. The data extension and the density adjustment are performed on the basis of the calculation results from the spot-light position calculator.
