'''xcam''' provides a graphical user-interface to control an image acquisition device such as a flatbed scanner or a camera. It allows scanning individual images and can be invoked directly from the command-line.
 
 
 
'''xcam''' acts as a stand-alone program that saves acquired images in a suitable PNM format (PBM for black-and-white images, PGM for grayscale images, and PPM for color images).
 
 
 
'''xcam''' accesses image acquisition devices through the [[sane-backends|SANE]] (Scanner Access Now Easy) interface. The list of available devices depends on installed hardware and configuration.
 
 
 
'''xcam''' presents a menu listing of all known and available devices.
 
 
 
=== scanadf ===
 
'''scanadf''' is a command-line interface to control image acquisition devices which are capable of returning a series of images (e.g. a scanner with an automatic document feeder (ADF)). The device is controlled via command-line options. After command-line processing, scanadf normally proceeds to acquire a series of images until the device returns the SANE_STATUS_NO_DOCS status code.
 
 
 
The images are written to output files, specified by the --output-file option. These files are typically written in one of the PNM (portable aNyMaP) formats (PBM for black-and-white images, PGM for grayscale images, and PPM for color images). Several optional frame formats (SANE_FRAME_JPEG, SANE_FRAME_G31D, SANE_FRAME_G32D, SANE_FRAME_G42D, and SANE_FRAME_TEXT) are supported. In each case, the data is written out to the output file as-is without a header. Unrecognized frame formats are handled in the same way, although a warning message is printed in verbose mode.
 
 
 
Typically, the optional frame formats are used in conjunction with a scan script (specified by the --scanscript option) which is invoked for each acquired image. The script is provided with a series of environment variables which describe the parameters and format of the image file.
 
 
 
'''scanadf''' accesses image acquisition devices through the [[sane-backends|SANE]] (Scanner Access Now Easy) interface and can thus support any device for which there exists a [[sane-backends|SANE backend]] (try "apropos sane-" to get a list of available backends).

scanner graphical frontends

SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) is a scanner framework providing access to any raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner, hand-held scanner, video- and still-cameras, frame-grabbers, etc.).

This package provides several graphical frontends for SANE including:

  • xscanimage, a graphical front-end that works either standalone or as a GIMP plugin
  • xcam, a graphical front-end for acquiring images continuously from cameras
  • scanadf, a SANE front end for document scanning
