How to: Pirate a Book in Seconds!

How to: Pirate a Book in Seconds!: "

While making copies of digital media is simple, preserving old-world documents is far more difficult. The high speed scanner in the video above easily allows the user to digitize books using a flip-book style scanning process which can process 200 pages per minute. Basically, it can scan the U.S Library of Congress in no time ;) We’ve seen some high speed book scanners but none which scan this quickly.




The camera prototype rig captures 500 frames per second at 1280×1024 pixels. The trick is in the two optical capturing modes of each frame. First, each page is photographed in regular light. Second, a laser device throws lines on the page and the camera captures that as well. Software then shapes a 3-D model of the page and retraces it into a regular, flat shape clearing away all distortions.
