2A2-J03 Automatic, High-speed and High-resolution Book Digitization System Based on Adaptive Capture(Robot Vision (2))

Abstract

This paper proposes a new book digitization system that enables to obtain high-resolution document images while the pages are flipped automatically. This system provides two distinctive features including the adaptive capture and the automatic pager turner. This adaptive capture requires observing the state of the flipped pages at high speed and with high accuracy. In order to meet this requirement, we newly propose a method to obtain the 3D shape of the book, track each page and evaluate the state. We explain the details about the proposed high-speed book digitization system and the effective method of the real-time 3D image processing for the adaptive capture. Also the verifications of the developed system are reported.
