Anders Søborg built an amazing scanner that can use either the light sensor that comes with the NXT or a HiTechnic color sensor.
Each line of the image is created by moving the sensor over the image at a constant speed while recording the position and corresponding sensor values with a fixed sample rate. The recorded data is then processed to make up one line of the image. The line is saved to the BMP-file and the scanner will feed the paper so the next line can be scanned. This will be repeated until the entire image has been scanned.
