This robot can greatly improve the efficiency of digitizing paper books. With it, you no longer have to slowly scan or take photos of books one by one.
The mechanism principle of high-speed scanners can basically be divided into three key links: high-speed fully automatic page turning, real-time 3D recognition of flipped pages, and high-definition reconstruction of flat document images.
High-speed fully automatic page turning machine: This automatic page turning machine can turn pages at a speed of 250 pages per minute. The entire device is designed to turn pages at full speed. The page turning device will not affect the scanning image of the scanning device.
Real-time 3D recognition system: This system can continuously observe and record the three-dimensional deformation of each flipped page at a frequency of 500 times per second, and find the best moment to digitize the image. During recognition, the high-definition camera will capture the corresponding document, so that "high speed" and "high definition" are completed at the same time. The current resolution has reached 400PPI (pixels per inch). This technology perfectly combines high-speed and high-resolution digitization with a proven page-turning machine without missing a page.
Real-time 3D reconstruction flat document image system: This system will combine the captured image and the acquired 3D information to turn the captured curled page image into a flat original document image. Improved system processing speed will allow simultaneous scanning and reconstruction.
It is conceivable that this will greatly help the popularization and efficiency of book digitization. With it, all the books in a library can even be processed in a few days.
