Converting paper books into electronic form provides benefits for archiving, distribution and content reuse. However, directly scanned images are usually undesirable for electronic books, and automated content re-mastering is required. In this paper, we describe a comprehensive image processing suite consisting of three major components: 1) image enhancement with deskew, cropping, color correction, contrast enhancement and text sharpening, 2) compound document image compression, and 3) extraction of TOC (table of content) and linking. We built a processing pipeline that automatically converts a set of scanned page images into a high quality and highly compressed e-book in the popular PDF format.
