- This is part three of a series of three videos on how to make a high quality but cheap and easy book scanner using plastic plumbing items as the main structural frame, and with some innovative ideas about how to construct the scanner.
Incredible video! I was looking at the CZUR scanner, but this video makes me think that a DIY option is the best approach. Thanks for sharing. :D
Blown away! The amount of thought gone into this project to solve all the problems is amazing! Need to build this.
Thank you Sir!!... I so glad to see your excelent video and information!!... God bless you and your friends and families... Best regards from Santiago of Chile, South America!!!
Thank you so much! Your clear and concise exposition of a most elegant design surely conceals a great deal of thought, effort, and a fair bit of trial and error.
Many thanks, sir.
Thank you, great videos! I've been thinking of building a book scanner for some time. These videos were just the last piece of the puzzle.
Brilliant and ingenious. Well done.
Great work! I will upload images when we begin digitalizing the Mexican Comics Archive
I would love to be able to just buy this pre-built with assemble-able parts and instructions minus the cameras and cover (:
thankyou this video brought the idea that book scanning shouldnt be expensive.. but i would like to see some sample of the result with how much light it needs..
Excellent idea!
Carl, you need to multiply the dimensions of the book (in inches) by 300 (dots per inch), that's supposing you can zoom the image so that the page fits exactly, and you find the dimensions in pixels. Multiply them and that's the amounts of pixels that the camera ought to have. For example 8"x300 dpi = 2400 and 11"x300 = 3300; 2400x3300 = 7'920'000 or a 8 megapixels camera. Indicatively, because of course the page proportions could be different than the image proportions.

The expense of 16MP is not daunting in itself. It's the expense of such a camera with the required features. Without getting into DSLRs, I'm limited to 14MP (2 Canon PowerShot G10s -- used, of course!) because I want to use PSRemote with a PC. As my scanner is being built to accommodate up to 15" x 22" I am limited to ~200dpi at the largest size and more than 300dpi at 9" x 14" and smaller sizes. Thank you both for this vital info!
More than brilliant! Thank you!
I am SOOO excited about building one to meet my needs! Despite a host of issues (residual, from a stroke), including one hand to work with, numbers confusion and impaired logic, I actually believe I can do this! What a marvelous alternative to a $6k device, such as an Atiz Book Scanner Pro.
THANK YOU...for posting these videos!!
I also want to build this. Were you happy with the end result?
@@JustinDeane222 Yes. My project was copying historical cemetery records (1858-present), bound into 500-page 8.5" x 14" ledgers (cremations, burials, lot diagrams, deeds, correspondence), spanning more than 40 volumes. I used Canon cameras. The challenges were brittle pages, VERY tight inside margins (in some cases, NO inside margin), and the fact that I only have one usable hand!
I used legacy cameras, as only those had all features that I needed, with compatibility with the 2-page copying
software.
@@bobriopel6391 I'm glad to hear you succeeded with that. I have textbooks that I need to digitise and the inside margins are very narrow. canon cameras would be my choice too and I suppose for excellent clarity I will need at least 24 mp and good optical zoom
Thank you for sharing your design and experience. This seems very "do-able", and practical. I hope I can find cameras with infra-red remotes!
brilliant
Thank you!
Great!
Brilliant! I want to build one of these. Are there detailed plans so that I might be able to recreate in the US. Thanks so much. God Bless.
I love it.
Excellent! Thank you.
How do you know which file is from which camera? Each page may have a number, but I hope you don't arrange them manually.
wow, very good job.
you are teacher genius
I´m from Brasil, Thanks!!!
Hello, this is grate, but what are the dimensons, of the pexiglass for example? Like 40 cm x 30 cm or something like that?
Parabéns!!! A melhor relação custo benefício!!!
Thank you ,, excellent video
Which software do you use to convert the picture you take into pdf or other
i want to ask about how to manage 2 camera take shoot simultaneously ? , and what kind software to collect it on PDF to make single eBook. thank you sir for share it
2 cameras with a single control ? el control funciona para esas 2 camaras?
takes two pictures simultaneously?
+Sakura jp that's what i want to ask about how to manage it, and what kind software to collect it on pdf to make single ebook
Wow, Thanks.
For much more detailed information on how to build this scanner go to
diybookscanner.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2914
Is it the Optio range of Pentax cameras that has the IR censors ?
I'm away from home at the moment, but I ill try and get detailed plans drawn up. Have you seem the list of components required listed at the end of one of the three videos?. Also look at this link

You're not really scanning, you are photographing, correct? You would now have to take photo and then convert using OCR software correct?
This method is the same used by Internet Archive for "scanning" books, and IA have a HUGE amount of scanned books
Yes Sakura jp I use a single infra-red controller for taking pictures on two cameras. It takes two pictures simultaneously. You need to have the same model of camera to do this.
