I am making good progress reverse-engineering the SCSI protocol for this film scanner. I now have a short test program in C that scans film and I now have the challenge of decoding the image data returned. It appears to be raw sensor data. I don't have experience with many other scanners: is this typical of scanners to return raw data? Or maybe typical of film scanners but not flatbed?
I have seen Dave Coffin's page on dcraw (http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/) which can decode sensor data to RGB but want to consult this list before I start to integrate his code in case anyone here has already done this and can offer tips/advice. Also, the image data appears to contain more data than expected. I.e. there is more data then there should be if I consider the size of my scanning window and work out the math. Is this typical and is it normal to have to interpolate to provide the user with expected results? db
