Book electronization method and book electronization device

Abstract

Information of a character string or the like described on a page of a book is obtained from three-dimensional data of the book. A book electronization device (1) includes a surface specification unit (12) that specifies a page region corresponding to a page of a book in three-dimensional data of the book, which has data values corresponding to a sheet of the book and a gap between sheets, and a data generation unit (13) that maps a character string or graphic in the page region to a two-dimensional plane and generates two-dimensional page data including a character string or graphic written or drawn in the book.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
