Re: [sane-devel] Canon DR-C125: Wrong colors when scanning Duplex

[m. allan noah]

Ok, that's better.

The yellow cast along the edge looks like a calibration problem. It
exists in all resolutions under 300 because this scanner only has 300
and 600 dpi modes in the X direction. The sane backend creates all the
lower resolutions. The sane backend also does the coarse and fine
calibration for this model, so it is possible that the calibration
could be improved. However, this is the hardest part of the code to
work with, as it is entirely reverse engineered without docs about the
calibration algorithm.

Re: [sane-devel] Canon DR-C125: Wrong colors when scanning Duplex

[m. allan noah]

I have attached another patch. We will have to remove the first one,
and add this new one to the source code directory you made before:

1. Change into the source directory (update name as required)
cd sane-backends-gitXX/

2. Remove the old patch (update location as required, perhaps also ~/Downloads)
cat ~/Downloads/cdr-55a.diff | patch -p1 -R

3. Apply the new patch (update location as required, perhaps also ~/Downloads)
cat ~/Downloads/cdr-55b.diff | patch -p1

4. Rebuild, reinstall
make
sudo make install

5. Test again.

Did you install libusb-devel before you compiled sane-backends?

Re: [sane-devel] Canon DR-C125: Wrong colors when scanning Duplex

[m. allan noah]

Yes, the patch changed something, you can look at it and see what it
did, it is fairly small. The problem is that I don't think it should
have changed 240, so if you are seeing a behavior change there, we
need to do further investigation. So, I will be more explicit:

Please make another set of scans, the same as you last did, but turn
the scanner off and back on between each scan. Presumably you will
have to stop and restart your scanning program too. I want to see if
the earlier scans somehow pollute the later ones.

After that, I will walk you thru adjusting the code, and we will try again.

Re: [sane-devel] Canon DR-C125: Wrong colors when scanning Duplex

[el-ti]

Hmmm, but the patch changed something, didn’t it? Without the patch 300dpi was 
wrong colors, now 300dpi is good. Unfortunately now 240dpi is wrong.

If it’s too much work to get it running, It’s maybe okay, I normally do color 
scans with 300dpi. But I would probably consider getting rid of this model.

If by power cycling you mean turning the scanner off and on, before using it 
(after installing the patched version) – yes, I always do that.

best regards,
el-ti

Re: [sane-devel] Canon DR-C125: Wrong colors when scanning Duplex

[el-ti]

Hello Allan,

I’m afraid, the cdr-55b didn’t change anything – although I don’t understand 
this. I also double checked: first I followed your instructions, but thenI 
unpacked the backends.tar.gz again to apply cdr-55b on the fresh files, because 
I wanted to make sure, I did not make a mistake. But even then, the scans 
returned the same results. Is that even possible?

See here: https://de.owncube.com/index.php/s/Dkqvp3O0hJEVPu7

best regards,
el-ti

Re: [sane-devel] Canon DR-C125: Wrong colors when scanning Duplex

[m. allan noah]

My patch did not change anything about 240dpi, since you said that was
already working. I think perhaps there is something else going on
here. Can you power cycle the scanner after each test?

 I uninstalled "cndrvsane-drc125" and restartet the system. The color 
 shift is still there.

 And there is also the problem, that there is a 1/2 cm cut on the long 
 edge of the scanned page (the "duplex-offset" option only handles the 
 short edge) – but I guess this is another problem.

 If you need more information, do not hesitate to tell me.

Re: [sane-devel] Canon DR-C125: Wrong colors when scanning Duplex

[el-ti]

Thank you very much for your work.

Unfortunately, I have no experience with patching something like this so far. I 
did some research, though – seems to be quite doable. I’m familiar with the 
terminal etc. As I understand this, I have to apply the diff-file on the 
original file with the patch command. So far, so good – but I have no idea, 
which file it is. I couldn’t figure out by looking at the diff file.

If you could tell, on which file I have to apply this, that would be great! 
Thanks!

Tobias

Re: [sane-devel] Canon DR-C125: Wrong colors when scanning Duplex

[m. allan noah]

I have attached a patch for the sane-backends source code. This
attempts to provide alternate color de-interlacing for your scanner.
It does not attempt to fix any edge cropping issues. Let me know if
you need more instructions.

Re: [sane-devel] Canon DR-C125: Wrong colors when scanning Duplex

[m. allan noah]

Canon scanners often have this variable interlacing at different
resolutions, so I am not surprised to see this. However, this
particular scanner has the weirdest interlacing that canon does. If
you can compile from source, I can send you some patches to try. See
http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux

Re: [sane-devel] Canon DR-C125: Wrong colors when scanning Duplex

[el-ti]

Unfortunately, yes.

I uninstalled "cndrvsane-drc125" and restartet the system. The color shift is 
still there.

And there is also the problem, that there is a 1/2 cm cut on the long edge of 
the scanned page (the "duplex-offset" option only handles the short edge) – but 
I guess this is another problem.

If you need more information, do not hesitate to tell me.

Re: [sane-devel] Canon DR-C125: Wrong colors when scanning Duplex

[m. allan noah]

If you uninstall the Canon "DR-C125 Driver for Linux V1.0 (v1.0)"
software, does this color shift still happen?

Re: [sane-devel] Canon DR-C125: Wrong colors when scanning Duplex

[el-ti]

The system is using the libsane version from the PPA: 1.0.26-git20160305-wily0

It was installed above the one from Ubuntu’s repositories, when I added the PPA.

Re: [sane-devel] Canon DR-C125: Wrong colors when scanning Duplex

[m. allan noah]

You have installed both sane-backends, and canon's driver? Which one
are you using? Assuming you are actually using sane-backends, we will
have to modify the code to control the color descrambling.

Re: [sane-devel] Canon DR-C125: Wrong colors when scanning Duplex

[el-ti]

Hello,

I have an appendix to make – maybe someone has a hint for me, why the
scanner behaves really strange:

Depending on the scanning resolution, the shifting on the color range is
different! I used the following command to test this:

scanimage --batch --source "ADF Duplex" --page-width 210
--page-height=297 -l 0 -t 0 -x 210 -y 297 --mode Color --resolution 300

Then I tried all available resolutions: 100, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400,
600. The results are strange:

Scanning with 100,150,200 gives me:
Blue -> Red
Red -> Green
Green -> Blue

Scanning with 300 and 400 gives me:
Blue -> Green
Green -> Red
Red -> Blue

And scanning with 240 and 600 shows the RIGHT colors.

How is that possible? And how can this problem be solved?


I installed Rolf Bensch’s PPA
(https://launchpad.net/~rolfbensch/+archive/ubuntu/sane-git), because it
solved the back page cutting problem when scanning Duplex. (see
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.scanning.sane.devel/24903)

Other than that, I only installed the Canon "DR-C125 Driver for Linux
V1.0 (v1.0)".

Any hint is appreciated!
