D.3 The “Finger Removal” Function
D.3.1 Position of Document
The Bookeye® 4 scanner offers a helpful function which detects fingers at the margin of
books and eliminates them from the image. This is the “Finger Removal” function.
The following simple steps must be completed to operate the scanner using the “Finger
Removal” function properly:
• The book cradle can be set to either “V” position or flat position.
• Place the book as shown in Picture 16 on the book cradle.
Picture 16: Book at book cradle in flat position
Allow a small distance between the book’s bottom side and the lower margin of the book
cradle.
Picture 17: Book at book cradle opened in “V” position
• The distance depends on the thickness of the book. The distance should be at least
half of the thickness of the book.
• Align the book parallel to the horizontal red laser line.
• Position the book binding at the lowest point of the book cradles, opened in "V"
position.
Page 32 Operation Manual
D.3.2 Finger Positions
Another important criteria for a proper function of the “Finger Removal” function is the
position of the fingers when holding the book in a flat position.
• The fingers must be positioned in a vertical area of max 1 inch = 25 mm width
measured from the book fan at each side of the book.
Picture 18: Correct finger position
Picture 18 shows the vertical area marked with blue lines at the left side and the right side
of the book.
The book fan area on each side is also marked.
• The fingers must be positioned with a distance of at least a third of the book side
length from the upper left corner of the book.
Picture 19: Minimum vertical distance
Holding the book at both sides with one or more fingers is also possible if the above

D.3.3 Wrong Finger Positions
Some finger positions can cause malfunction of the “Finger Removal” function.
The following chapters show a few examples of wrong and correct finger positions.
D.3.3.1 Distance too small
The fingers should be positioned with distance to the text or to graphical elements in the
document.
If the distance is too small, the “Finger Removal” function may not remove the fingers from
the image or the element (e.g. part of the text) will be removed together with the fingers.
Wrong
Correct
Increase the distance between finger and text or picture.
D.3.3.2 Finger position too steep
When the book cradle plates are set to “V” position, the lamps may generate shadows
around the fingers if they held too steep.
Wrong
Correct
Always place the fingers flat on the edge of the document.
Page 34 Operation Manual
D.3.3.3 Fingers held too close to the margin of the document
When the fingers are held too close to the document’s margin, they will not be removed by
the “Finger Removal” function.
Wrong
Correct
Move the fingers in small steps from the edge of the document to the inside and repeat the
scan sequence.
Operation Manual Page 35
D.3.4 Examples of Finger Removal
Some examples in the following chapter show the functionality of the “Finger Removal”
function. Finger Removal is available in all document modes
A requirement is that the scanner is set to Book Mode in the ScanWizard application or the
external software.
D.3.4.1 Book positioned at the book cradle
Book Mode, Finger Removal Mode: Book Fan
Book position
Scan result
The setting „Finger Removal Mode: Book Fan“ cuts away the left and right book fan from
the resulting image and flattens the curvature of the book binding.
D.3.4.2 Single finger holds the book
Book Mode, Finger Removal Mode: On, Finger Removal Color: Auto
Note: The Finger Removal Color is defined in the ScanWizard user interface.
Book and finger position
Scan result
This setting corrects the resulting image as with the previous setting.
Additionally, the finger contour will be detected. It is eliminated in the image and the finger
contour area is filled with a pattern and/or color.
The filling color is automatically taken from the area above and below the finger contour.
Page 36 Operation Manual
Book Mode, Finger Removal Mode: On, Finger Removal Color: Black
Note: The Finger Removal Color is defined in the ScanWizard user interface.
Book and finger position
Scan result
The resulting image now shows the area where the finger contour was detected. The
detected area is filled with a solid black color.
Small book kept flat by single finger
Book Mode, Finger Removal Mode: On, Finger Removal Color: Black
Note: The Finger Removal Color is defined in the ScanWizard user interface.
The “Finger Removal” mode works properly with books of different dimensions.

Operation Manual Page 37
Large book (e.g. catalogue) kept flat by single finger
Book Mode, Finger Removal Mode: On, Finger Removal Color: Auto
Note: The Finger Removal Color is defined in the ScanWizard user interface.
Book and finger position
Scan result
The book fan has been removed and the surrounding black area is reduced to a minimum.
The scan result shows a part of the finger in the lower left corner.
The reason is that the analyzing algorithm detected an area of mixed patterns and colors at
the left border of the image. In this case, it is the register of the catalogue.
The finger at the lower left edge was interpreted as part of the register. For this reason, the
finger removal was not executed.

D.3.4.3 Multiple fingers hold the book
Book Mode, Finger Removal Mode: Book Fan
Book and multiple fingers position
Scan result
Small book kept flat by multiple fingers
Book Mode, Finger Removal Mode: On, Finger Removal Color: Auto
Note: The Finger Removal Color is defined in the ScanWizard user interface.
If parts of the content of the book are covered by a finger or by multiple fingers, the removal
function detects the contour and fills the area with the selected fill option.
Book and multiple fingers position
Scan result
The white arrows in the scan result image mark the area where the finger contours have
been filled with automatically defined color.
Operation Manual Page 39
Book Mode, Finger Removal Mode: On, Finger Removal Color: Auto
Note: The Finger Removal Color is defined in the ScanWizard user interface.
Book and multiple fingers position
Scan result
The position of the three fingers has been detected.
The fingers contour is eliminated in the resulting image and filled with a pattern and/or color.
If Finger Removal Color is set to Auto the filling color and/or pattern is automatically taken
from the area above and below the finger contour.
When the detected finger contour is filled with solid black, the result looks like this:
