Robotic Book-Scanning Lab

The Digitizing Line is an automated (robotic) book scanner, intended to produce high quality digital images of bound materials at throughput rates as high as 1160 pages per hour. Equipped with an I2S digital camera, the DL can scan bound materials of a variety of shapes and sizes, and produce preservation quality B&W, grayscale and color TIFF images at up to 600 dpi. The DL is supported by a hardware and software architecture that allows for the manual creation and automated capture of descriptive, administrative and technical metadata, and can produce derivatives for web access such as JPEG, PDF Image-only, plain text, and PDF Image+Searchable Text.
