Abstract
A scanner device includes a plurality of image sensor arrays and an image processing component. Each image sensor is configured to acquire a corresponding sequence of image slices, wherein the sequences of image slices are concurrently acquired, and wherein each sequence of image slices represents a contiguous partial scan of a target medium. The image processing component is configured to generate an image file representing the target medium based at least in part on the sequences of image slices.
