Abstract
Systems and methods using registration marks to detect page mismatches when making physical books are described. The system can be configured to capture an image of a plurality of pages, analyze the plurality of pages to determine whether a page does not include a registration mark, and provide results of the analyzing. In one example, if individual pages of the plurality of pages include the registration mark, then the results can include a message indicating that the plurality of pages are associated with the physical book. However, if one page of the plurality of pages lacks the registration mark, then the results can include a message indicating that the plurality of pages are associated with at least two physical books.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- generate generating a registration mark that is common to pages of a copy of a physical book;
- receiving, from an electronic device, an image depicting at least an edge of a page of a plurality of pages;
- analyzing the image to determine that at least the edge of the page includes the registration mark;
- detecting, based at least in part on the edge of the page including the registration mark, that the plurality of pages are associated with the physical book;
- and
- providing a result that indicates that the plurality of pages are associated with the physical book.
A method comprising:
- receiving, from an imaging device, an image depicting a plurality of pages;
- determining, by a computing device, that an edge of at least one page of the plurality of pages depicted by the image includes a common registration mark;
- and
- based at least in part on determining that the edge includes the common registration mark, providing a message indicating that the plurality of pages are associated with a physical book.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media maintaining instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, program the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- analyzing at least a first edge of a first page and a second edge of a second page of a plurality of pages, at least the first edge of the first page including a common registration mark associated with a physical book;
- detecting that the second edge of the second page of the plurality of pages does not include the common registration mark;
- and
- providing a result indicating that the plurality of pages are not associated with the physical book.
A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an image depicting a common registration mark printed on at least a first edge of a first page of a plurality of pages;
- detecting that a second edge of a second page of the plurality of pages depicted by the image lacks the common registration mark;
- and
- providing, based at least in part on detecting that the second edge depicted by the image lacks the common registration mark, a message indicating that the plurality of pages are not associated with a single physical book.
