Hi all Recently I stumbled upon http://www.booksorber.com/, a project that postprocesses photos taken of books, so that they can be exported as nice PDFs. It's really a great idea, and it probably works nicely using high quality photos with nice lighting, but there are some quirks (especially the UI!). And as it's not open source, I cannot improve upon it. That got me thinking on how hard it would be to implement the same thing using Python. Then I found scikit-image... Therefore, my questions: - Do you know of similar attempts to solve the book scanning problem, preferrably using Python? - Can scikit-image already do such tasks? This includes book border detection, text border detection, color balance correction, de-skewing, finger removal and other things to make the text as readable as possible. Unfortunately I don't know too much about image processing algorithms, so I'd be happy about any pointers and suggestions. Would be great if such a software could be created as an open source effort. In the end, open source always wins :) Danilo
