SUDO book scanner rig next steps

by jacques revera

IT was fantastic! meeting the SUDO room last Tuesday. I hope this is not too much detail *** Please tell me how... the best way for me to get in there Monday to be able to look over the sizes of the parts etc mostly bolts I will need to complete the base hopefully Monday. Any suggestions on hardware mounting cameras? We might need to mount/un-mount/align cameras for each session. The original mounting brackets were replaced(at some point) with blocks of wood with holes to accommodate various sizes and positions of cameras. (Does the below or some version of it need a wiki page?) 1-2-18, The Sudo room collective et al with Dany from Noisebridge and Jacques assembled SUDO's book scanner "base." See at diybookscanner.org "Book Scanner Rigs" a basic diagram and list of hardware (w/out lights & cams) - with lights & cams, could be called a "rig." I think the distinction is important introducing people to the concept: The base is essential for an operator to mount cameras (connected to a computer), as she flips the pages of a book, running the "capture" software because, the hundreds of images captured comprising the pages of a book should be aligned (as much as possible) similarly in 3 dimensions - so that "post-processing" software can determine what and where everything is to automatically align, process, OCR etc and then create a digital book. "After capture, you will have a folder full of images. Turning those images into an eBook is called 'post-processing'. What steps this actually entails depends on your needs. Some people want to compress things down as much as possible and extract the text of the book using OCR. Others just want to crop each image to the page and bind them into a PDF." diybookscanner.org/en/intro.html These two links provide images and discussion of this particular scanner. Someone dubbed the model: Reese 1.0 https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Bookscanner https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Digital_Archivists (This diybookscanner.org/archivist is the "Reese 2.0" model named and sold as "The Archivist". Very similar to the 1.0 probably.) HERE IS WHAT I THINK IS NEEDED TO GET TO CAPTURING BOOKS AND MAKING THE BOOK SCANNER USABLE: 1. CLIPS TO LOCK DOWN TOP HALF TO BOTTOM If you watch "BETA DIY Book Scanner Kit Demo and Walkthrough" (the Reese 1.0?) https://youtu.be/a4-qMc2QSOw :54 seconds in "A third thing..." he explains why the design looks the way that it does - to allow for flipping the top half of the scanner to use a different scanning technique for small mass market type paperbacks which are bound tight - with tiny inner margins - which make them hard to scan on most kinds of scanners. Dany and I put a couple of screws in to make sure no one started flipping th the top because the glass platens are not clipped down very tight. 2. BASE handle bolt w/knob for attaching/adjusting 1 camera base bungee chords some other bits I will figure out Monday power strip bolted down with 6-7 recepticles 3. LIGHTING To get pages brightly and evenly lit requires a particular kind of light and other lighting etc to be blacked out. There should be a simple solution for the lamp needed. I will post the question to the forum this week. I can't get into reading through and examining all this: https://forum.diybookscanner.org/viewforum.php?f=16 My initial thought on blackout is curtains and curtain rods are unwiely and I want to try making a simple heavy duty cardboard box spray painted flat black on the inside 3. CAMERAS Resolution needed is one issue. Control is another. Storage/security and availability are another. Jake said "I can donate two identical Canon digital cameras to this project." "The current camera recommendation is Canon PowerShot ELPH 160. These are 20MP cameras which work with Pi Scan <http://github.com/Tenrec-Builders/pi-scan> and are still being manufactured." http://www.diybookscanner.org/en/intro.html 4. COMPUTER / SOFTWARE My thought at the moment is since different people have different goals requiring different software, I want to have mine loaded on my own macbook but am also interested in setting up a public computer for this. 5. SECURITY & STORAGE ? Jacques

Gift ideas for LOLspace?

by Jenny Ryan

Hey sudoers! LOLspace, otherwise known as Liberating Ourselves Locally <https://oaklandmakerspace.wordpress.com/>, a POC-led makerspace in East Oakland that started around the same time as sudo and is now a project of the hella rad Peacock Rebellion <http://www.peacockrebellion.org>, recently purchased their building in Fruitvale <https://www.youcaring.com/thetenantsandthecommunity-773671> in tandem with EastSide Arts Alliance, Sustaining Ourselves Locally (SOL, a QTPOC-led food justice collective & garden), Cycles of Change bike shop worker coop, and Shaolin Life, a community temple and martial arts studio - as well as several residential spaces on the second floor. This is a huge win and I'm so stoked!! They're having a celebration on the afternoon of January 28th, and I thought it'd be rad if we could bring a gift on behalf of sudoroom :) Some ideas I was considering: * a sign or card drawn by the robot arm - and if card, signed by sudoers ^_^ * donating one of our sewing machines (they seem to be much more crafty than sudo) * donating a bunch of those phablets we got? or were they eee pcs? * some sweet outdoor lighting rig to make the sidewalk space more inviting and safe? Also: * a rooftop mesh node install! they're about a block from the houseless encampment that the City gave to The Village to build their first village of 2018 on. [this will happen, if they're down, regardless of a sudoroom gift] Anyone interested in collaborating on this? Other ideas, inspiration, do-ocratic gift-making welcome and encouraged :) <3 Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Re: [sudo-discuss] I want to establish a book scanner at Sudo room or in Oakland

by jacques revera

lockable should not be a problem. If noisebridge is donating one of the older designs, it would be framed with raw wood we can just screw some hinges and plywood in - to box it - to keep people from fiddling with the mechanisms. The cameras might need a more secure spot at the omni. Marc, Robb, Jake, I am looking forward to meeting and working with you. I am new to this list, the omni commons and the sudo room so please keep me straight on that. I am back in town Jan. 1 --- Tues Jan. 2 would be a good day for me to meet and begin - and maybe complete a plan and proposal if needed for the omni collectives. I have a van if there is a base-kit already constructed at noisebridge that needs to be picked up.

I want to establish a book scanner at Sudo room or in Oakland

I would like to talk with any folks who can collaborate or help establishing a book scanner in Oakland. I am talking about a complete system, finished, effective and quick. I myself need to be able to scan quantities of books several times a month easily. I cannot afford the total cost maybe $1500 of the base kit, cameras(aprox $100 per) and computer hardware of full fledged system recommended by http://www.diybookscanner.org https://store.diybookscanner.org/collections/frontpage/ products/archivist-quill-book-scanner-base-kit There are many DIY project designs out there and software great to tinker with. But, what I am interested in is quickly completing setting up a fast stable system(or getting one donated or purchased) - and working with the projects and issues that begin at that point: starting with scanning lots of books. I have a huge number of books I need to scan for personal and political projects which have broader applications. I would prefer working on a system that could serve many people and needs - and I would be interested in being part of a collective working on getting books scanned and converted to accessible formats (particularly http://daisy.org) - but also interested in working on making the system available to more people and the whole thing accessible for the disabled. I am also interested in discussing working on the further extensions of accommodating reading disabilities, books and computer access for the blind. I volunteer at Revolution Books to fight the power and transform the people for revolution. I have a good basis in literature of art, politics, history, science and international fiction needing to be read and made available. I have a reading disability. I have taught TV production and media in public schools. I live in Oakland. Jacques

Pineapple Fund

by Jenny Ryan

Hey sudoers ~ If anyone has the spoons, sudo room should apply for some funding from http://pineapplefund.org/ I'm on vacation with family, already wrote one for Omni and People's Open and trying to launch the kitchen campaign <https://omnicommons.org/kitchen>, or I'd do it myself. It's really simple - just a one line description of the project and a paragraph on how we'd spend the $$$. Obviously, I think we should ask for ~$10-100K to build out a second level to the space, upgrade our equipment and supplies, and maybe funds for hard drives and screens and such so we can fix up broken laptops and distribute them to our many neighbors in need. There, I just basically wrote it for ya ;) just needs some polish! and I'm sure any one of you inventive souls have great ideas on what we could do with a lil BTC :) Also, I think we should launch a crowdfunding campaign next year, perhaps using BitGive's newly-released GiveTrack <https://www.givetrack.org/> platform. Sudo's never run a fundraising campaign in all of our 6 years of existence, and the time is ripe to finally do so and build upwards! <3 Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.
