Существует ряд книг + сканер + желание все перегнать в "цифровой" формат. Думаю, что лучше всего(затраты времени + качество) будет формат djvu. Кто-нибудь этим уже занимался? Какой интсрументарий использовал?
Нет, сам не пробовал, извиняюсь. Кстати вот что пишут в манах:
DjVuLibre comes with a variety of specialized encoders, c44(1) for
photographic images, cjb2(1) for bitonal images, and cpaldjvu(1) for
images with few distinct colors. Although these encoders perform
well in their specialized domain, they cannot handle complex tasks
involving segmentation and multipage encoding.
Another solution is provided by the compression server at
(http://any2djvu.djvuzone.org). This machine uses pre-lizardtech
prototype encoders from AT&T Labs and performs almost as well as the
commercial Lizardtech encoders. Please note that the Any2DjVu com‐
pression server comes with no guarantee, that nothing is done to
ensure that your documents will remain confidential, and that there
is only one computer working for the whole planet.
