Summary: Post-processing scanned and photocopied book pages Name: unpaper Version: 1.0 Release: 1mdk License: GPL Group: Graphics Source: http://download.berlios.de/unpaper/unpaper-1_0.tar.bz2 Url: http://unpaper.berlios.de/ BuildRoot: %_tmppath/%name-%version-%release-root %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 is called "deskewing". Note that the automatic processing will sometimes fail. It is always a good idea to manually control the results of unpaper and adjust the parameter settings according to the requirements of the input. Each processing step can also be disabled individually for each sheet. Input and output files can be in either .pbm or .pgm format, as also used by the Linux scanning tools scanimage and scanadf. Conversion to PDF can e.g. be achieved with the Linux tools pgm2tiff, tiffcp and tiff2pdf. %prep # remove old directory rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_DIR/%{name}-%{version} # create new directory mkdir $RPM_BUILD_DIR/%{name}-%{version} %setup -q -T -D -a 0 -n %{name}-%{version} %build gcc $CFLAGS -DTIMESTAMP="\"`date +'%%Y-%%M-%%d %%H:%%m:%%S'`\"" -lm -O3 -funroll-all-loops -o unpaper unpaper.c %install install -d %buildroot%{_bindir} install -m 755 unpaper %buildroot%{_bindir} %clean rm -fr %buildroot %files %defattr(-,root,root) %doc readme.txt unpaper.html img %_bindir/* %changelog * Sat Mar 5 2005 Till Kamppeter <till@mandrakesoft.com> 1.0-1mdk - Initial release
