narrow-cut-up
=============
Hypothesis
----------
We hypothesize that we can do better than [naive-cut-up](../naive-cut-up).
Apparatus
---------
* Python 2.7.6 (probably works with older versions too)
* [Pillow](http://python-pillow.github.io/) (it might work with PIL too)
* Some scanned images of newspapers, books, etc.
Method
------
* Like [naive-cut-up](../naive-cut-up), except that it:
* scales each image to the size of the base ("canvas") image
* cuts and pastes in narrow strips instead of 1/9-page chunks
### Usage ###
In this example, we use images already obtained used by [naive-cut-up](../naive-cut-up)
[fetch-chronam](../fetch-chronam) and sorted as described in
$ ./narrow-cut-up.py ca_5.jp2.png pages/*
There are also some command-line options which are not yet documented.
Observations
------------
The result has promise, but looks like it might work best with pages
which contain more text than images.
