Abstract

See full text

A reference-signal generating unit generates a reference signal for generating a driving signal to drive other units of the image reading device. A frequency modulating unit modulates frequency of the reference signal, thereby generating a frequency-modulated reference signal. A driving-signal generating unit generates the driving signal from the frequency-modulated reference signal. A photoelectric converting unit converts an incident light into an analog image signal using the driving signal. An AD converting unit converts the analog image signal into a digital image signal. A correcting unit corrects the digital image signal by generating a correction signal for eliminating a noise superimposed on the digital image signal using the frequency-modulated reference signal and adding the correction signal to the digital image signal.
