bookscan
Single camera solution for book scanner.
WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL PROJECT
This program was written in ad-hoc manner without thinking about publishing the source code. It was just a test of concept.
I've got many requests to publish the program after I posted YouTube videos:
So I published it. But it was a project that was done in a day years ago, and I have no time to verify it still works today.
Compilation
Install OpenCV and SCons:
sudo port install opencv scons
Compile using SCons:
scons
Usage
The program takes three arguments:
./extpage test_input.jpg output_left.jpg output_right.jpg
where test_input.jpg is the input file name, and the following two are the output file names.
Debugging using Webcam
To debug using an webcam, execute the program without an argument:
./extpage
Using Automator.app
One way to automate is to use Automator script like this one:
if [ x$1 = x ]; then
exit;
fi
FILENAME=${1##*/}
EXT=${FILENAME##*.}
BASE=${FILENAME%.*}
SRC_PATH=${1%/*}
RESULT_PATH=${SRC_PATH%/*}/out/
LEFT_IMG=${RESULT_PATH}${BASE}_left.${EXT}
RIGHT_IMG=${RESULT_PATH}${BASE}_right.${EXT}
say "Extracting pages..."
if extpage $1 $LEFT_IMG $RIGHT_IMG > /dev/null; then
say "Done."
else
say "Failed."
fi
echo $1
echo $LEFT_IMG
echo $RIGHT_IMG
See automator.png.
Save it as an application and invoke it using Folder Actions.
