Book Scanner Uses Firefly MV for 3D Measurement to Dewarp Pages
Most digital book scanner systems face the challenge of correcting the distortion produced by the curvature in the area of the spine or fold of a book. Zeutschel GmbH in collaboration with Chromasens GmbH has developed the OS 12000 Bookscanner and the Perfect Book, an add-on 3D scanning module, to address these issues.
In addition to a line scan camera developed by Chromasens, the book scanner uses an area scan camera in the form of a board-level Firefly MV IEEE 1394a camera by Point Grey. Read more...
