Automatically extract images from scanned pages

We have a couple of hand-made/writtem photo books with the images glued in individually. I would like to reprint te images. What I wanted to do: Take images of the individual pages (about letter size) and then have extract the individual images. Ther used to be programs that do that in batch mode, ie you give them a number of images of the pages and they then extract the individual photos in those pages, correct distortion and make them look like properly squared images. Does anyone know a good program to do thag?

Re: Automatically extract images from scanned pages

I think some of the programs that come with scanners can do this.

Photoshop Elements can do it:

Third party scanner program called vue scan does that in a limited fashion.

If the images are separated and distinct enough it does a good job. I put multiple prints on my flatbed scanner and does a decent job if the photos are arranged neatly and not at odd angles overlapping etc.

Can try it for free, I have the paid version. Let me use my older scanner on win 10 which Canon doesn't support
