BFS-Auto High Speed Book Scanner Reads At 250 pages/min - Ishikawa Oku Lab

Ishikawa Oku Laboratory has churned out a new high-speed book scanner called the BFS-Auto, that can digitize a book into original media format at the rate of 250 pages/min. Boy o boy, how you wish you had that kind of reading speeds! It works upon a fully-automated page flipper, recognizes the content in 3D real-time and ensures highly accurate restoration to a flat document image. The flipping machine is indeed fast and works with a labor-saving style - you need not cut or get the book torn for digitization. Using a new algorithm and working as fast as observing 500 times per second, the 3D recognizer captures the minute details of every page at the highest quality (400 pixels per inch).

Ishikawa Oku Lab's engineers has developed the technology to restore a captured image which is distorted because of page curling to a flat original document image by using the captured image and the obtained 3D deformation. Now, if you're over cribbing about not having one such for yourself in your days at the university -go on and watch the following video to see the robot in action with some really soothing music that makes us want to play it again and again -
