摘要： Systems and methods for acquiring and using three-dimensional imaging data to improve the process of scanning bound documents are disclosed. The system includes a camera for capturing an image of documents such as books, and a second camera for gathering data regarding the first camera's field of view. Signal processing logic analyzes the data gathered by the second camera and uses it to determine whether the imaging camera's view was obstructed. If it is determined that the imaging camera's view was obstructed, then remedial action can be taken, such as removing the obstruction, recapturing the image, and/or flagging the image for further processing. The second camera may include a laser range finder, a scanning laser range finder, an ultrasonic range finder, a device that utilizes auto-focus range finding technology, a binocular camera array, and/or a trinocular camera array.

摘要： Systems and methods for pacing and error monitoring of a manual page turning operator of a system for capturing images of a bound document are disclosed. The system includes a speaker for playing music having a tempo and a controller for controlling the tempo based on an imaging rate and/or an error rate. The operator is influenced by the music tempo to capture images at a given rate. Alternative or in addition to audio, error detection may be implemented using OCR to determine page numbers to track page sequence and/or a sensor to detect errors such as object intrusion in the image frame and insufficient light. The operator may be alerted of an error with audio signals and signaled to turn back a certain number of pages to be recaptured. When music is played, the tempo can be adjusted in response to the error rate to reduce operator errors and increase overall throughput of the image capturing system. The tempo may be limited to a maximum tempo based on the maximum image capture rate.
摘要翻译：公开了用于捕获绑定文档的图像的系统的手动翻页操作者的起搏和错误监视的系统和方法。该系统包括用于播放具有速度的音乐的扬声器和用于基于成像速率和/或错误率来控制速度的控制器。运营商受到音乐节奏的影响，以给定的速率捕获图像。替代或除了音频之外，可以使用OCR来实现错误检测以确定页码以跟踪页面序列和/或传感器来检测诸如图像帧中的物体侵入和不足的光的错误。操作者可能会收到音频信号的错误信号，并发出信号以返回要重新捕获的一定数量的页面。当播放音乐时，可以响应于错误率来调整速度以减少操作者错误并增加图像捕获系统的总吞吐量。基于最大图像拍摄速度，速度可能被限制在最大速度。

摘要： Systems and methods for moving a document cradle to facilitate imaging of a bound document are disclosed. The system may include a cradle supporting a document, such as a book, a cradle positioner for selectively positioning the cradle relative to a camera, and a controller for controlling the positioner to automatically position the cradle based on the location of the page being imaged relative to the camera. The cradle may be positioned such that a gutter of the book or a surface plane of each page being imaged remains in approximately the same position relative to the camera. The cradle positioner may include a servo motor controlling a shaft to position the cradle supported and guided by a bearing. A sensor (e.g., 3D camera, range finder, laser, and/or edge detector) may be provided to facilitate the controller in controlling the cradle positioner based on the location of the page being imaged relative to the camera. The controller may control the positioner based on, for example, current page count tracked by the controller, total number of pages, thickness of the book, width of the gutter of the cradle, and/or weight of the book exerted on one or both sides of the cradle.
摘要翻译：公开了用于移动文件底座以促进装订文档的成像的系统和方法。系统可以包括支撑诸如书籍的托架，用于相对于照相机选择性地定位托架的托架定位器，以及用于根据正在成像的页面的位置来控制定位器自动定位托架的控制器到相机。托架可以定位成使得书的沟槽或正在成像的每页的表面平面保持在相对于照相机大致相同的位置。托架定位器可以包括控制轴的伺服电动机，以定位由轴承支撑和引导的支架。可以提供传感器（例如，3D相机，测距仪，激光和/或边缘检测器），以便于控制器基于相对于照相机成像的页面的位置来控制托架定位器。控制器可以基于例如由控制器跟踪的当前页数，总页数，书的厚度，摇篮的槽的宽度和/或施加在一个或两个上的书的重量来控制定位器摇篮的两边

摘要： Users may be presented with different viewing interfaces for a document based on a combination of factors relating to display rights possessed for the document and user specific information. In one implementation, the user's location is used to determine portions of the document that can be displayed to the user. More particularly, access privileges to a document for a user are determined based on geographical location information of the user and based on access rights possessed for the document. Portions of the document may then be formatted for display to the user based on the determined access privileges.
摘要翻译：基于与文档拥有的显示权限和用户特定信息有关的因素的组合，用户可以针对文档呈现不同的观看界面。在一个实现中，用户的位置用于确定可以向用户显示的文档的部分。更具体地，基于用户的地理位置信息并且基于文档拥有的访问权限来确定对用户的文档的访问权限。然后可以基于所确定的访问权限对文档的部分进行格式化以显示给用户。

摘要： A content management tool can assist publishers/authors in managing access rights and other parameters related to the display of documents online. The documents may include books and other documents that are traditionally published as printed works. The content management tool may display presentation parameters for the documents that relate to how the documents are to be shown to users when accessing the documents. The content management tool receives modifications to the presentation parameters and applies the modified versions of the presentation parameters to future accesses of the documents by users. The content management tool can, for example, be used to modify the portions of the document available for display, turn on/off certain portions of the document, manage links displayed concurrently with the document, and/or manage advertising related to the document.
