Hello Imagej users,

I am new to the community and to Java. I currently work in a rare books
library on a project to digitize rare books and to make them available
online.

My job is to ''process'' the images -- basically to straighten the image by
the inner seam of the book and then to add a crop around the borders of the
visible page. Some of the books are shot open (such that both pages are
visible) and some are shot recto/verso (such that only one page is visible
per image). As you can imagine, this takes forever to do by hand and it
seems that ImageJ could work as a way to automate the process.

I was hoping you could recommend some documentation/reading on how to do
this, plug ins you think may work well, or even a reference to someone who
has done a similar project. Thanks for any help you could offer!
