Hi, I reverse engineered some intraoral radiograph sensors (sensors dentists use to take your x-rays) and made a proof of concept driver that works! You can see the code here: https://gitlab.com/DesiOtaku/cleardental-usbtest (BTW: I am more than happy to completely re-write all the code as this was just a proof of concept)
So right now, it is a stand alone program. However, I would like this kind of code to move more "upstream" fashion. As far as I know, I am the only one that worked on a Linux driver for these radiograph sensors. So my question is should this kind of driver belong to SANE or should it be its own separate project? A little bit more background information: The regular intraoral digital sensor is basically a CMOS sensor, but in the x-ray spectrum. There are two basic functions that is needed: getDarkImage: In order to get a good image, you need to subtract out all the background radiation. So, before the x-ray source it actually emitted, you need to get this dark image waitAndGetImage: Basically, it will make the sensor wait until it gets a certain threshold of radiation and then send back the image. In both instances, it will return back a 16-bit greyscale image So it is different than your typical camera or scanner so I don't know if it is within the scope of the SANE project to have such code included or if this should be its own project. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
