Digitizing documents (using ScanTent)

[arockenberger]

Hei all,

I have decided to buy a ScanTent after all.

Apart from that, I find this to be a cool thing that more small institutions/research groups should consider getting, I have a few dozen charcoal rubbings that I made of watermarks in the 1494 print of the Ship of Fools. This is usually forbidden (I got special permission) and there are no other images of the watermarks in that particular print, so I would like to digitize the rubbings and publish them as a data set.
Would you like to join me for a StudyGroup or even a half-day workshop doing that?

At the end of the spring term would be good.

Sounds interesting. Maybe I can contribute with some of the image processing experience I have (e.g. to improve image quality after scanning).

I have ordered the ScanTent, but not yet gotten confirmation that it has been shipped. I'll let you know when I have it and then we can set up an event for testing it out!

Neat! @kyrretl made a somewhat similar box a while ago :) Slightly less mobile though, and I don't remember if uniform lighting was added to it. Kyrre, you should share a picture of it!
