Abstract:
An image reading device according to an aspect of this invention is equipped with an image sensor having multiple sensor IC chips. The image reading device includes a detection unit which detects respective offset levels of a reference channel and of a correction target channel from among multiple channels provided for groups of the multiple IC chips, an acquisition unit which acquires a difference between the offset levels of the reference channel and of the correction target channel, and a correction unit which corrects shading data of a correction target sensor IC chip on the correction target channel based on the acquired difference.

Claim (Index 8):
An image reading method to be executed by an image reading device equipped with an image sensor having a plurality of sensor IC chips, the method comprising the steps of:\n detecting respective offset levels of a reference channel and of a correction target channel from among a plurality of channels provided for groups of the plurality of sensor IC chips; acquiring a difference between the offset levels of the reference channel and of the correction target channel; and correcting shading data of a correction target sensor IC chip on the correction target channel based on the acquired difference.
