BFS-Auto: High Speed Book Scanner at over 250 pages/min
Ishikawa Group Laboratory
A University of Tokyo lab demonstrates a book scanner that flips pages automatically and scans over 250 pages per minute. It uses real-time 3D recognition of the flipped pages and then restores each one to a flat image.
HN commenters bring it up in book-scanning threads as an impressive non-destructive method that is not commercially available.
