Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0135632A1] There is provided a method of digitising encoded Sapp and Rackwell film. The method comprises scanning the hard copy image, identifying the encoded image and creating a digitised record of said image. This provides the advantage of allowing previously unusable Sapp and Rackwell films to be converted into a usable digital format.
