-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-0950 2008-02-02 00:52:37 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : unpaper Product : Fedora 8 Version : 0.3 Release : 1.fc8 URL : http://unpaper.berlios.de Summary : Post-processing of scanned and photocopied book pages Description : unpaper is a post-processing tool for scanned sheets of paper, especially for book pages that have been scanned from previously created photocopies. The main purpose is to make scanned book pages better readable on screen after conversion to PDF. Additionally, unpaper might be useful to enhance the quality of scanned pages before performing optical character recognition (OCR). unpaper tries to clean scanned images by removing dark edges that appeared through scanning or copying on areas outside the actual page content (e.g. dark areas between the left-hand-side and the right-hand-side of a double- sided book-page scan). The program also tries to detect disaligned centering and rotation of pages and will automatically straighten each page by rotating it to the correct angle. This process is called "deskewing".
