Combined sensor arrays for relief print imaging
First Claim
1. A system for producing a relief print image, comprising:
- a relief print data generation component configured to generate a first set of relief print data and a second set of relief print data, said first set comprising a first indication of light from an electroluminescent layer received by a first sensor array, said second set comprising a second indication of light from said electroluminescent layer received by a second sensor array at substantially a same time as the first set is received by the first sensor array, said relief print data generation component comprising;
said first sensor array, configured to convert received photons to an electrical signal, operably coupled with said second sensor array, configured to convert received photons to an electrical signal; and
said electroluminescent layer disposed over a combination of said first sensor array and said second sensor array; and
an image stitching component, operably coupled with said relief print data generation component, configured to stitch together said first set and said second set, resulting in a third set of relief print data indicative of a relief print image.

Abstract
One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for producing a relief print image. Two or more sensor arrays can be combined, and an electroluminescent layer can be deposited over the combined arrays. A resulting scanner component may be able to scan a larger area of a body part at the same time. The scanner may generate a relief print data sets indicative of light from the electroluminescent layer that are received by a first and second sensor array. The scanner can comprise the first and second sensor arrays coupled together, and the sensor arrays can be configured to convert received photons to an electrical signal. The scanner may also comprise the electroluminescent layer disposed on top of the coupled first and second sensor arrays. An image stitching component can stitch together the sets of relief print data, to create relief print image data indicative of a relief print image.
