Latest Findings Japan's Technology, Scanner Fastest Books

Japanese scientists from Tokyo University has developed the latest technology in scanning (scanning) a book with a speed of 170 pages per minute. Development of a prototype scanner takes 2 years. The scientists claimed that the scanner (scanner) that they develop is the fastest scanner in the world that uses the technology of a camera that can shoot up to 500 images per second.

The mechanism of image scanning system which is owned by the fastest scanner this is to set the angle of deviation caused by the curvature that occurs when each page of the book quickly reversed. The settings are performed using three-dimensional infrared measurements so that each page of the book are drawn looks flat as the original page.

In the future will consider the use of robots in reversing page per page automatically, so the results are more constant, fast, and neat. With this scanner is expected in the future will be more produced ebook of printed books that exist, so the reader can read the ebook using ipad Apple or Amazon Kindle. Therefore you do not have to carry heavy-weight tome everywhere, you just simply bring ipad Apple or Amazon Kindle is lighter weight.

3D technology that brought this scanner can be applied widely, both in robotics or idustri automotive industry. One Japanese scientist who was involved in research scanner says that the application of 3D technologies on the automotive industry will create a steering system that is more secure and comfortable. If the 3D technology was carried into a vehicle, it will be able to take 3D images of what lies ahead, whether it's an uneven road or other obstacles. While in industrial robotics, the application of 3D technologies in robot vision will make the robot move faster than humans.

If indeed the scanner is disposed to the market about how it will be appreciated? Certainly not cheap considering diusungnya advanced technology, can scan 170 pages in 1 minute.
