Abstract
Various systems, methods, and programs embodied on a computer readable medium are provided for binding curvature correction in an image of pages of a bound medium. The binding curvature correction involves electronically acquiring an image of a set of pages of a bound medium, the image of the set of pages having a binding curvature distortion, and, generating a corrected image, the corrected image including the content of the image without the binding curvature distortion.
Claims33
A method for binding curvature correction, comprising:
- electronically acquiring an image of a set of pages of a bound medium, the image of the set of pages having a binding curvature distortion;
- and
- generating a corrected image, the corrected image including the content of the image without the binding curvature distortion.
A program embodied in a computer readable medium for binding curvature correction, comprising:
- code that corrects a binding curvature distortion in an image of a set of pages of a bound medium by generating a corrected image that includes the content of the image without the binding curvature distortion.
A system for binding curvature correction, comprising:
- a processor circuit having a processor and a memory;
- and
- a binding curvature distortion corrector stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the binding curvature distortion corrector comprising logic that corrects a binding curvature distortion in an image of a set of pages of a bound medium by generating a corrected image that includes the content of the image without the binding curvature distortion
A system for binding curvature correction, comprising:
- means for generating an image of a set of pages of a bound medium on an image acquisition surface, the image having a binding curvature distortion;
- means for obtaining a three dimensional model of the set of pages in the image;
- and
- means for mapping a portion of each of the pages that falls within the binding curvature distortion to a position on an image acquisition surface associated with the image, thereby generating a corrected image without the binding curvature distortion.
A multifunction peripheral that provides for binding curvature correction, comprising:
- a scanner with an image acquisition surface, the scanner being adapted to generate an image of a medium placed on the image acquisition surface;
- and
- a binding curvature distortion corrector comprising:
- means for obtaining a three dimensional model of the set of pages in the image, wherein the image includes a binding curvature distortion;
- and
- means for mapping a portion of each of the pages that falls within the binding curvature distortion to a position on the image acquisition surface associated with the image, thereby generating a corrected image without the binding curvature distortion.
A method for binding curvature correction, comprising:
- placing a set of pages of a bound medium upon an image acquisition surface of a scanner;
- scanning the set of pages to generate an image of the set of pages, the image having a binding curvature distortion;
- and
- generating a corrected image, the corrected image including the content of the image without the binding curvature distortion.
