Hello... I'm doing a project wherein i'm designing a hardware for a image acquisition system (i need raw image for further processing applications) Both scanners and DSLR cameras give raw images. But scanners have that dark side effect along the book gutter and DSLR cameras are way too expensive for small scale ) ... In your post you have said that you have done considerable research for your project. Although it has been four years since this post of yours, can u pls share me the link or resource by which i can interface my hardware i design with a PC? .. a link showing the interfacing of a camera to PC would be enuf and i can go about my design with the help of that. I'd be immensely grateful... Thank you.
