Definicija: An optical input device that uses light-sensing equipment to capture an image on paper or some other object. Captured image data is converted into binary files that can be stored and manipulated by computer programs.

Definicija: Optično-mehanska naprava, ki se uporablja za analogno-digitalno pretvorbo slik, diapozitivov, fotografij ali tekstila.

Definicija: A scanner with a flat, transparent surface that holds the image to be scanned, generally a book or other paper document. A scan head below the surface moves across the image. Some flatbed scanners can also reproduce transparent media, such as slides.

Definicija: Radiometer, namenjen sočasnemu skeniranju slik v različnih valovnih pasovih. Lahko je nameščen na letalu ali na satelitu. Landsatov multispektralni skener zapisuje slike v štirih valovnih pasovih vidnega in skoraj infrardečega elektromagnetnega sevanja, s tem omogoči razlikovanje objektov z različnimi odbojnimi lastnostmi.

Definicija: A remote sensing term referring to a scanning radiometer that simultaneously acquires images in various wavebands at the same time. A multispectral scanner can be carried aboard an aircraft or satellite. The Landsat multispectral scanner records images in four wavebands of visible and near infrared electromagnetic radiation to enable objects with different reflectance properties to be distinguished.

Definicija: Naprava, ki omogoča skeniranje negativov in diapozitivov ter pretvarjanje le-teh v digitalni zapis.
