Abstract

The digitization process of old books is one of the measures to preserve the cultural heritage of mankind and to make them accessible to a large audience. The task of creating a high quality digital copy of an old book is quite complex and it depends on many factors. Thus, the analysis of the factors that determines the quality of the digitization process has been done, the models of relationships between the factors have been constructed and their priority has been established with the help of the method of factors ranking using the hierarchical representation of relationships between them in the form of graphs, the calculation of the corresponding weight coefficients and the expert survey with its interpretation in a fuzzy form.
