ABSTRACT:
A V-shaped scanning head, a book support, and a scanner that includes the V-shaped scanning head and the book support. The V-shaped scanning head comprises a pair of scanning surfaces angled relative to each other to form a V-shaped scanning face. An image capturing means preferably in the form of a pair of angled photoelectric detector arrays or a pivotable scanning arrangement is provided for capturing images of both sides of a book, the images being received through the scanning face. Processing circuitry, typically provided in the scanning head, processes the signals received from the image capturing means. The book can be supported on a movable book support that is capable of adopting a V-shaped configuration to support the open book.
