Ishikawa Komuro Laboratory showing their new invention of a High speed computer vision technology. This High speed book scanning system using a fast capture camera which it can capture a turning page at 1000 frame per second.

The camera uses lights connected to a synchronized control circuit and a laser range projector to estimate the three-dimensional page geometry.  This allows it to correct any distortion from the page being turned while at the same time flashing it with uniform, ideal lighting.  The 3D data can even be reproduced on a computer.  The system could theoretically be used for color copying as well, but the current quality of the scanning data still requires some improvement. Google has been digitizing books and a system has been developed to automate page-turning to reduce the human labor component in this time-consuming, expensive line of work.

Its seem the Superman and Chloe Sullivan ability has been absorb by our technology, it will be more amazing if we can do the same. So its possible for us to do? according to meditation method, the answer is possible. Its only the matter of time.
