Why it matters

Every mass-digitisation project needs this and most do it by eyeball. It is the least interesting model on this bench and probably the most immediately useful.

What it needs

Almost nothing. This is a solved computer-vision problem waiting for someone to point it at sheets.

State of the art

Ad hoc, in-house, unshared.
