New Tech Turns Camera Phones Into Document Scanners

Xerox yesterday announced a new imaging technology that can effectively turn megapixel camera phones into portable document scanners, according to a company press release via Phone Scoop:

"The software, optimized for images of printed documents, handwritten notes, and whiteboards, corrects for poor lighting, distorted images, blurring, shadows, reflections, and other problems frequently encountered in a real-world environment. The software also uses G4 fax compression to reduce the file size to 1/10 that of JPEG, making it easy to send and print."
