Scitedaily has a story titled "Google’s Book Scanning Technology Revealed" about high speed book scanning. It discusses projects at University of Tokyo, Google, and elsewhere. http://scitedaily.com/googles-book-scanning-technology-revealed/
It says: "The Japanese researchers say the system works so well that they can take pictures of pages in mid-flip. This is why they use a high-speed camera; the idea is that the human user can just flip rapidly through the book and the camera can rapidly snap all the pages, which are later undistorted." |
