HiPerScan
(E! 9432)
Eurostars Project
Project duration: 2015-2017
Project budget: 1 mill. €
Project Abstract
The HiPerScan project will develop and improve the
high performance scanning device, allowing to recon-
struct digital and analogue data from photosensitive
medium at extremely high speed. Special focus is giv-
en to sophisticated data reconstruction algorithms and
supportive sensors for improved read-back rates. In ad-
dition a special reference pattern for production of ref-
erence standards for qualification of high speed image
processing systems will be developed and prototyped.
The project goal is to design, develop and prototype an
ultimate high performance data and image scanner for
single layer photosensitive medium. The system will be
very high resolution. This also demands for an advanced
and scalable optical illumination system for the medium
as well as scanner camera lenses with different magnifi-
cations and optimized numerical aperture for the needs
of the two different applications in mind, i.e.
(1) reference pattern production and verification, and
(2) verification and read back of long term preserved
data on film.
The second outcome of the project will be a proto-
type of a reference pattern printer that together with
the high performance scanner forms a prototype pro-
duction and verification line for reference pattern film
stripes.
These reference stripes would be used as certified stan-
dards in qualification of high-speed image processing
systems as they are used in production lines of many
industries.

Project Abstract
In this feasibility assessment we wanted to achieve the
following:
1. Perform market research (through beta testers and
other partners)
o Get a clear picture on the competitive environ-
ment within long term preservation of valuable data
o Examine the feasibility of introducing the Piql sys-
tem as a "Managed Service"
o Learn how data preservation services are offered
to the market and how they are priced
2. Develop an innovative and different business model
to bring this technology to the market
3. Develop a "go-to-market" strategy and business plan
based on the outcome of the market research and busi-
ness model.
This project related to the work programme "Leadership
in enabling and industrial technologies", Information and
Communication Technologies, Horizon 2020 Dedicated
SME instrument, Call ICT-37-2014, Open Disruptive In-
novation Scheme. Further this project proposal broadly
addresses ICT challenges within the “Societal Challeng-
es” policy priority within the “Europe 2020 Strategy“.
The project addressed more specifically the priority of
"Secure Societies – Digital Security: Cybersecurity, Pri-
vacy and Trust".
