Abstract :
The authors discuss the effects of applying image processing technology to the digital archiving and study of rare books, introducing our research activity in the HUMI Project, which was established by Keio University as an inter-faculty project, envisioning a research oriented digital library. Then, some methods of image processing application developed in the HUMI Project are outlined: adjustment method for curved page image, connection method for partial images of page, image representation method for illustration
