What Is Atlas Scanning?
Atlases combine bound structures with maps, foldouts, colour, fine line work and sometimes very large pages.
An atlas may contain maps extending beyond the normal page size. The workflow must capture them completely while protecting the binding.
Atlas digitisation
The right method depends on the physical construction, condition and purpose of the book. Non-destructive capture keeps significant originals intact; destructive capture can be appropriate for approved modern production work.
