Technology is becoming more and more advanced, so it's no surprise that a super fast book scanner is in the works to digitize books at a revolutionary speed. Lab members Takashi Nakashima and Yoshihiro Watanabe are creating this super fast book scanner, which is able to record up to 200 pages in one minute.
The laser is able to capture images at a rate of 500 fps, which means you just have to flip the pages (like one of those flip books) and the camera will take care of the rest. The coolest part is the 3D technology captures the curved page and translates it into a flat image. Amazing!
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Super-fast Book Scanning
- The development of a super fast book scanner that can digitize books at a rate of 200 pages per minute presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the publishing and library industries.
- High-speed Image Capture
- The use of a laser to capture images at a rate of 500 fps opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in fields such as photography and document imaging.
- 3D Page Capture
- The ability to capture the curved pages of a book and translate them into flat images using 3D technology creates disruptive innovation opportunities in the graphic design and digital archiving industries.
Sectors Adopting This
- Publishing
- The super fast book scanner can revolutionize the publishing industry by enabling efficient digitization of books and reducing the reliance on physical copies.
- Library
- Libraries can benefit from the super fast book scanner as it allows for rapid digitization of their collections, improving accessibility and preservation of rare or fragile books.
- Photography
- The high-speed image capture capability of the book scanner can disrupt the photography industry by providing a new tool for capturing fast-moving subjects or events.
