Adjust color automaticly

Post by debuti »

Hi!

I'm new to this forum, but not really new to book scanners, anyway, i made my own book scanner, it looks like a little house ;) (IMG_20131112_222021.jpg)

I use a pendulum to change camera orientation, I'll make a post to explain it, but by now, i'm stuck in color postprocessing. I've uploaded thre photos:
- IMG_2404_orig.jpg is the output from the camera (trimmed)
- Dibujo.jpg is the output from my HP scanner, i want the output to look like this, or like the output by scantailor
- IMG_2404.jpg is the best postprocessed page that i get...

My postprocessing script is

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Parameters
DATE=`date +%Y%m%d`
LOG_PATH=""
LOGLEVEL="DEBUG" #"INFO"

# Constants

# Global variables

Based on your script, it looks like you just need to set a few parameters to clean up the image. You should probably "trim" the side next to the spine of the book to get rid of the shadows there. You should also either set the "threshold" high enough to make the background white, or just set the "colour_palette" to Bilevel to make the whole image black and white.

I'm looking forward to your post describing your camera pendulum scanner in more detail. I thought about doing something like this a few years ago with a standard scanner but not invert the platen as you have done. I wanted to use a better camera and thought that by swinging the camera over to the other side I would only need one of them. In the end, I just skipped a few restaurant dinners and bought another DSLR. Besides, shooting all the even number pages then flipping the book around and scanning the odd number pages was easier on the camera than swinging it back and forth so I forgot about this idea entirely.

One thing I did want to mention is that in the images that you've posted from your scanner I can see a reflection of the lighted page from the adjacent platen panel. This shows up as a sort of trapezoid from the left side of the image toward the center of the page. Depending your lighting method, you can typically eliminate this by increasing the angle between the two platen halves to something greater than 90 degrees (from Dan's investigations 100 deg. works well). This isn't much of an issue if your going to scan mostly text and convert it to a black & white image, but if you scan things that contain images (graphic novels, magazines, etc.) it becomes more important.

For scanners such as yours that have a fixed camera position relative to the platen surface, you can scan a calibration page (gray card, or simply a blank white page) then make a note of the post processing per-pixel in the image that needs to be done to make that page appear the correct color (usually white). That same post processing can be applied later to your scanned images and should help with image artifacts that result from uneven lighting.

Cool stuff debuti! Any chance you should share a short video clip of how the scanner works?

Debuti,

I was wondering if you could post or send me an image of a blank page from your scanner. I think BSW could normalize the lighting over the page, but I'd like to have a sample image to see how well it would work.

It works by using an image of a blank page to see where it is brighter and darker, and using that information adjusts the brightness of the other images.

That is a really unique approach to a single camera inverted scanner!

Other people have used the similar roof gable design but with a single stationary camera, aimed at the spine of the open inverted book:

http://diybookscanner.org/forum/viewtop ... 8150#p8150

http://www.diybookscanner.org/forum/vie ... f=14&t=821

http://www.diybookscanner.org/forum/vie ... hilit=roof

This has the gable design but with two stationary cameras:
http://www.diybookscanner.org/forum/vie ... ner#p13843

And this design is the reverse of yours - stationary camera, rotating upside down book:

http://www.diybookscanner.org/forum/vie ... gle+camera

Apparently the bright lights shining up at the operator can be fatigue inducing with these designs.
