Digitising LPs by scanning the grooves







Digitising LPs by scanning the grooves

Digitising LPs by scanning the grooves 05/06/2004 03:07 AM

Digitising analogue LPs with high-resolution scanners isn't a new idea -- we blogged an early effort years ago here -- but it seems to have come along nicely, per this NYT story.

The team shoots thousands of precise sequential images of the groove and then stitches the images together, measuring the shape of each undulation and calculating the route a stylus would take along the path.

"We grab the image and let the computer model what the stylus would have done if it had run through the surface," said Carl Haber, a senior scientist at the lab who led the research team in collaboration with Vitaliy Fadeyev, a postdoctoral researcher there.

Ca mera Phones Help Buyers Beware

"During the past six months, no fewer than four software firms have released applications to help consumers turn their camera-equipped mobile phones into personal bar-cod e scanners....

Although the technologies are still in their early stages, the trend is rekindling talk of a shopping revolution.

'Clearly, this is going to change the way people think about shopping,' said Olivier Attia, chief executive of New York-based Scanbuy, one of the firms specializing in bar-code-scanning software.

For example, 'with a camera phone that is also a bar-code scanner, you can go into a store like Barnes & Noble, take a photo of the ISBN number on a book and instantly receive a coupon offering the book for 30 percent less at Amazon.com,' said Attia." [Wired News]

Of course, I think the better example is that a person could scan an ISBN and automatically request the title from their local library!

Chunking and scanning RSS feeds


Chunking and scanning RSS feeds 03/13/2003 10:15 AM
I've been somewhat surprised to find myself preferring the Radio UserLand aggregator to the others I also use: NetNewsWire and NewsGator. Last night I realized why: it's a matter of chunking and scanning. In RU, I scan and dismiss batches of 100 items. On a typical day, when I receive a few hundred items, that's just a couple of clicks -- modulo any additional effort to save or respond to an item. In NetNewsWire and NewsGator, it's more of an item-by-item thing. There are consolidated views available, but they display headlines (or truncated previews) only. Processing a lot of feeds feels like more work. ...

Book Scanning at Stanford


Book Scanning at Stanford 01/22/2004 12:57 PM

The Book & The Computer: Another great article about digitizing books in a library at Stanford. I have to stifle the goosebumps when I read about this stu ff.

When you're turning pages by hand, you can do maybe 150 to 200 pages per hour. It's slow. But the robot can easily do 600 to 1,200 pages per hour without damaging the books. And it's rigorously consistent -- the page is always flat, the image is always good, and software conversion allows you to index the text so you can search it.

This entry is dedicated to Jenny, who says we all don't talk about libraries enough. :-)

Book Scanning Made Simple 12/29/2003 11:47 PM

Book-scanning uncovered: A nice look at a book scanning machine.

A technician lays the book onto a special cradle inside the machine and air jets gently fluff up pages on the right side. A robotic arm swings over the book and sucks up one page with a special vacuum, and pulls the page over. Two more robotic arms then swing over and flatten out the pages with clear plastic clamps.

I love this idea. When I was a kid, I lived in the public library. I just loved the idea that so much knowledge was contained in the books around me. I have a subscription to O'Reilly's Safari, and I love that so many books are available to me, on demand.

The words "archives" and "library" give me goosebumps. This article almost got me teary-eyed, thinking about its implications. I have professional fantasies of becoming a librarian.

All my hopes and dreams for the Internet are riding on machines like this. I want every printed word in the history of Mankind available instantly. Is that too much to ask? I have a huge smile on my face right now, just thinking about it.
