yup, but entirely too much work for a moron that will just ignore it or reject it in favor of his own delusional rantingsFucking Troofers don't have the slightest clue on how a scanner works. The optical readers gather up the image on a document and have to immediately translate it into something the computer can recognize. It's never a perfect one to one correspondence. It's more akin to an algorithm.
HowStuffWorks "How Scanners Work"he basic principle of a scanner is to analyze an image and process it in some way. Image and text capture (optical character recognition or OCR) allow you to save information to a file on your computer. You can then alter or enhance the image, print it out or use it on your Web page.
In this article, we'll be focusing on flatbed scanners, but the basic principles apply to most other scanner technologies. You will learn about the different types of scanners, how the scanning mechanism works and what TWAIN means. You will also learn about resolution, interpolation and bit depth.
On the next page, you will learn about the various parts of a flatbed scanner.

AND NOW we get to the real nub of it:
HowStuffWorks "How Scanners Work"On your computer, you need software, called a driver, that knows how to communicate with the scanner. Most scanners speak a common language, TWAIN. The TWAIN driver acts as an interpreter between any application that supports the TWAIN standard and the scanner. This means that the application does not need to know the specific details of the scanner in order to access it directly. For example, you can choose to acquire an image from the scanner from within Adobe Photoshop because Photoshop supports the TWAIN standard.
In addition to the driver, most scanners come with other software. Typically, a scanning utility and some type of image editing application are included. A lot of scanners include OCR software. OCR allows you to scan in words from a document and convert them into computer-based text. It uses an averaging process to determine what the shape of a character is and match it to the correct letter or number.
The great thing about scanner technology today is that you can get exactly what you need. You can find a decent scanner with good software for less than $200, or get a fantastic scanner with incredible software for less than $1,000. It all depends on your needs and budget.

Once we get into the realm of interpolation and OCR translation and averaging, it become immediately clear that a scanned image of something like an architectural plan will not end up looking (at the pixel level) exactly like the original.
And from this, fucking dishonest scumbag Troofers add yet more conspiracy to their already dishonest and absurd conspiracy bullshit.
I can't abide these fucking Troofers. They are all lying scum.
That is what the infiltrating perpetraors would want people to think.
Nothing like a junk link to trash your credibility.
Consistency. The WTC 2 concrete core.

Leslie Robertson, Architect Of The World Trade Center Towers
Still, Robertson, whose firm is responsible for three of the six tallest buildings in the world, feels a sense of pride that the massive towers, supported by a steel-tube exoskeleton and a reinforced concrete core, held up as well as they didmanaging to stand for over an hour despite direct hits from two massive commercial jetliners.
