QiScan – Software for (book-)scanner based on NIKON / CANON digital cameras

2015-02-24

The QiScan Software developed by us is able to digitalize books or magazines via two high resolution NIKON or CANON digital cameras plugged to a normal PC.

Every 4 to 7 seconds two high resolution pictures of both opposite sites are taken. With the Qidenus scan-robots the page-turns is done either manuelly or also fully automated.

Qidenus – www.qidenus.com – whose scan-robots we developed this software for, is an austrian startup company which distributes it’s solutions world wide. Qidenus scan-robots are operated at many famous institutions and are used to digitalize huge amounts of partially very old and valuable books and documents.

QiScan funktions overview:

Usage of standard hardware: PC’s as well as high resolution NIKON and CANON reflex digital cameras are the base for high-quality (book-)scanners.
Every 4 to 7 seconds (depends on the camera, resolution and data format) 2 images (RAW, TIFF, JPEG) are taken and passed to the PC.
The job-oriented processing is done through a SQL database
Control of the scan-processes via integration with the SPS control of the Qidenus scan-robot
Immediate preview of the scans in the user interface for quality check and to set the scan-area of both opposite pages
Extensive image processing functions for reworking of the scans
Export of the scans in the most important formats (TIFF, JPEG, PDF) also with OCR
Background batch-processing of the jobs (conversion, image-processing, OCR, export) on the same or on remote batch-computers.

Supported camera-models:

NIKON D800 / D810
CANON EOS 700D
CANON EOS 5D Mark II
CANON EOS 5D Mark III

With this project we have extensive and year-long experience in using and driving digital cameras as “color-scanners” for automated continous operations.

Innovations version 2.0.8:

Function to convert one or multiple messages and/or attachements or to create an overall-PDF from it and to insert the created PDF file(s) as attachement to a new email directly. (“PDF conversion / new email” or “create overall PDF / new email”)
Funktion um eine oder mehrere markierte Nachrichten bzw. Anhänge zu konvertieren bzw. daraus ein Gesamt PDF zu erzeugen und die erzeugte PDF Datei(en) gleich direkt als Anhang in eine neu zu erstellende EMail einzufügen. (“PDF Konvertierung / EMail Neu” bzw. “Erzeuge Gesamt PDF / EMail neu”)
Complete integration of the EMail Archiver functions into the MS-Outlook user-interface on any place intended for it – folders, lists, opened email messages, preview – via the context-menus as well as the buttons and tabs of the MS-Outlook windows. Processing of single or multiple emails and their attachements or email-folder – from the tree-structure, from the lists, from the opened message or from the document preview.

For tests the FileConverter Pro testserver, hosted by us, can be used – this is preset in the EMail Archiver after the installation.

FileConverterPro-CL – new version 1.0.8

2015-02-17

Innovations version 1.0.8:

Folder/subfolder-processing – With this all files inside the input-folder defined by the /in= parameter will be processed and stored in the output-folder defined by the /out= parameter. With the additional parameter /subfolder also subfolder-structures can be processed. Inside the output-folder the structure of the input-folder is rebuilt 1:1 exactly the same.
Displaying and saving of the FCpro – profiles – via /showprofile all profiles available on the FCpro server get read, saved in an ASCII file and displayed. This is to prevent false inputs when using the wanted profile-names in the command-line.
Error-folder – via /err= a individual error-folder can be passed. In case of an error the file is moved to this folder. If the parameter isn’t set the configured standard folder will be used.
Option – protocol all commandline requests – This function can be helpful with the analysis of programmatical commandline calls. With it all parameters passed via commandline will be protocolled inside the log-file
Option – configuration of the amount of threads for the upload to the FCpro Server – default = 5
Posibility to preset or spread the configuration-settings (XML file) – C:\ProgramData\FileConverterPro-CL\FCpro-CLSettings.xml

Commandline parameters:

FileConverter Pro – REST interface documentation – online available

2015-02-12

For the REST web-service interface of the FileConverterPro servers there is now also a documentation for the interface online.

FileConverter Pro REST specification: http://www.fileconverterpro.at/api

FileConverterPro – Java & JavaScipt – REST library

2015-02-11

To use the FileConverterPro Server with Java or JavaScript, we offer an “all-in-one” version of a client-JAR, which already implements all necessary external libraries. Therefor for the usage only an installed Java 8 is required.

The JavaScript-file example.js shows the usage of this JAR with JavaScript and is an extensive Sample which illustrates the most common use-cases.

The Script can be used with Java 8 like this:

$ jjs -cp FCproClient-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar exmaple.js

Details about the jjs tool can be found on the Oracle-website or at the project Oracle Nashorn – A Next-Generation JavaScript Engine for the JVM.
