Introduction

In today's digital age, accessing rare and valuable documents has become a significant challenge. Many of these documents, such as wills, land deeds, maps, and cemetery records, are stored in libraries, museums, and record offices, making it difficult for researchers and enthusiasts to access them. Physical handling of these documents can lead to deterioration over time, making it essential to find a modern solution to simplify the existing processes. CSoft introduces WiseBook, a cutting-edge technology that produces perfect printer-ready single and multi-page image files, making it easier to access and preserve these valuable documents.

The Problem with Conventional Scanning Methods

Conventional flat bed scanners are widely used for scanning books and documents. However, they have several limitations. They can only scan one page at a time, which can be time-consuming for large documents. Additionally, the scanning process can be affected by the quality of the scanner, the lighting conditions, and the type of paper used. This can result in low-quality images that are not suitable for printing or further analysis.

The Advantages of Planetary Camera Scanning

Planetary camera scanning is a more advanced method of scanning books and documents. It uses a camera to capture high-resolution images of the pages, which can then be stitched together to create a single image file. This method has several advantages over conventional scanning methods. It is faster and more efficient, allowing for the scanning of multiple pages at once. It also produces high-quality images that are suitable for printing and further analysis.

How WiseBook Works

WiseBook uses a planetary camera to scan books and documents. The camera is mounted on a rotating axis, allowing it to capture images of the pages from multiple angles. The images are then stitched together using advanced software to create a single image file. This file can be printed or further analyzed using specialized software.

Benefits of WiseBook

WiseBook offers several benefits over conventional scanning methods. It is faster and more efficient, allowing for the scanning of multiple pages at once. It also produces high-quality images that are suitable for printing and further analysis.
