Japanese Researchers Develop World's Fastest Book Scanner
An anonymous reader writes "IEEE Spectrum reports that Tokyo University researchers have developed a superfast book scanner that uses lasers and a high-speed camera to achieve a capture rate of 200 pages per minute. You just quickly flip the book pages in front of the system and it digitizes the pages, building a 3D model of each and reconstructing it as a normal flat page. The prototype is large and bulky, but if this thing could be made smaller, one day we could scan a book or magazine in seconds using a smartphone." The article mentions Google's similar dewarping system; the difference here is speed.
Ironically, you got trolled by my intentional misuse of the racist term Chink. Fucking moron.
Imagine if you were a Chink, now, that would be ironical. No wait, it would be just true.
We should have killed you all in WW2, but we got tired after the first few billions.
