Using
StreamPdfBoxScanDetectoras a base, implement a variant 'strict' method of scan detection to try and decrease false-positives.This improves on the original in two specific areas:
One of the few ways to differentiate between a scan and a children's book is that children's books often have a colophon with publishing date, author, etc, and it's rare that 'native' children's books have large issues on the colophon page. On the other hand, scanned PDFs in the majority of circumstances should have a large image on every page. Therefore the 'strict' method considers a PDF to be native if it was any pages without large images.
As a personal note, I've extremely grateful for this project as it has formed the basis of my own work in PDF scan detection, so thank you.
