The
Book Restorer™ software is a user-friendly
program entirely dedicated to digitised
documents. It is the ideal resource for
the comprehensive consultation, restoration,
storage and exportation of written works.
Book Restorer™ enables display
and consultation of all the images in a
book digitized with a scanner.
During the importation and
exportation phases, you can select any of
the following formats: TIFF, JPEG, BMP,
PDF or PNG in order to optimize your files
in accordance with the intended use.
The Book Restorer™ architecture
allows you to simulate a book structure.
In the same way, an automaton
enables you to use restoration and exportation
treatments as a background task.
BOOK
RESTORER™ version 4.0 now available!
The new Book Restorer™ version
4.0 marks a significant step in the evolution
of this product, become since its creation,
the unavoidable software tool, for who is
willing to restore, and even improve, in
the most faithfully way, the quality of
original digital documents.
Book Restorer™ V4.0 has
again improved its user-friendliness and
accompanies the user with a quick handling
and mastering of the tool, thanks to the
addition of several wizards. These help
in the major steps of the Book Restorer™
use.
From the first seconds of
the Book Restorer™ use, the 'book
creation wizard' allows you to
create the structure of your book, to define
page styles and blocks, sections and to
import images while associating restoration
scripts. In this manner, the script programming
wizard (integrated in the one of the book
creation itself) offers you pre-defined
restoration types depending on the sought
result.
The
Book Restorer™ automaton has
become more powerful itself, to be more
autonomous. Still, it allows you to increase
your productivity by giving you the possibility
of enhancing, publishing but also to import
your images. It is interesting in the case
of works comprising miscellaneous pages
with similar aspect. These 3 tasks can be
processed simultaneous and give you the
opportunity to avoid the images importing
and script setting.
In respect of image enhancement,
3 brand new modules have been implemented:
the finger
masking module will ease
your documents manipulation during the
digitisation step since it detects and
automatically masks the user's fingers
set on both side margins of the book.
This will allow you to maintain your
volumes in position during the image
capture.
the polarity
detection module, which more
particularly concerns the microfilm
or glass plates digitisation, automatically
checks if an image is positive or negative
and convert it, if negative.
the crop
module has been greatly improved:
using the wizard, it allows you to divide
an image into several parts (horizontal
or vertical), the manual crop (cropping
margin setting the operator) and automatic
cropping.
If Book Restorer™ is able
to import all kind of image whatever the
format, it lacked this functionality to
directly import an image from a scanner.
This is done now with this version 4.0 of
Book Restorer™ that manages the TWAIN
interface - communication standard
allowing to capture yet captured images
by certain scanners, digital cameras and
image capture systems
.

RESTORER™ V3.1
The Quality
Control module - BKR Control
- of Book Restorer™ can be used to draw
up a report about restoration processes
made on images of a book created with Book
Restorer™.
For each image of a book
and each process applied, a quality coefficient
is calculated and allows to define easily
the images that have to be checked and consulted.
The calculation of the
quality coefficient for a process on one
image is done by verifying the results of
the same process of all the other pages
of the book. The more the images are uniform
in the book and the more these quality coefficients
are reliable.
The following processes
are concerned:

Restorer's performances, we invite you to

software as well as that of its modules
