Abstract
An image device (1), comprises image means (2) for taking an initial image (I) including graphics and/or text, and an image correcting means (4) coupled to the image means (2) for correcting the image taken. The image means (2) are camera means (2), and the image correcting means (4) are arranged for performing perspective corrections by effecting image sizing on the image taken. This way perspective errors emanating from the taking of a flat image can be corrected for by means of appropriate software. Implementation of the feature in for example a mobile GSM telephone already including a microprocessor is therefore advantageous allowing high quality fax communication.
