Hello
I had a problem regarding book scanning so registered here, but in the time I was waiting for my account to get activated, I found a solution to the problem (well, my friend did to be honest..)
So I don't have anything to ask here anymore yet. But this forum is so rich and very useful and I'm happy I'm a member.
So if my account is idle, please do not delete it, because I will return later for sure.
Oh and a little bragging, recently digitalized a dozen thick books with the best quality and to the deepest level, using ghetto equipment. and saved myself from about 6 months of hard manual work.
Daniel Reetz, the founder of the DIY Book Scanner community, has recently started making videos of prototyping and shop tips. If you are tinkering with a book scanner (or any other project) in your home shop, these tips will come in handy. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn0gq8 ... g_8K1nfInQ

Good to have you, evilgnome! Can you please share what your problem was, and what the solution was? That would be something we can all benefit from!
Re: Hello and please don't delete my account
I have thousands of A4 paper sheets, full of random "4 optioned" test questions.
After scanning them using a camera and processing them into nice and neat png files; I needed to extract every single "4-optioned test question" from the pages and save it into a seperate image file. each page contained between 10 to 15 test questions on average.
Obviously doing it by hand would make me age a lot sooner
So I asked my friend and he wrote a c++ program for me that automated the process (detects each test question, and saves it automatically).
I am an student preparing for a very important examination, and this little app he wrote saved a lot of time for me.

Ask your friend if he is willing to share the code here on the forum.
Maybe others can also use the oe if they have a similar problem.
