The intelligent integrated reading system according to claim 4, characterized in that: The text image recognition module includes a region division module, a text extraction model and an image description model; wherein, The region division module is used to use the region where the text content recognized by the OCR model is located as a text region, and use the region other than the text region as an image region; The text extraction model is used to extract text from the text area using OCR text recognition technology to obtain reading text; The image description model is used to generate a natural language description of the image in the image area through a preset visual semantic alignment model, and use the natural language description as the description text; the basic architecture of the visual semantic alignment model includes a convolutional neural network and a bidirectional recurrent neural network.
6. The intelligent integrated reading system according to claim 1, characterized in that: The page turning mechanism includes a mechanical arm disposed above the book support frame and a sensor embedded in the mechanical arm; The end of the mechanical arm is connected to a vacuum suction cup, which is connected to an external vacuum pump through a vacuum pipe and is used to generate negative pressure with the pages of the book to absorb the pressure surface for turning the pages; The sensor is in communication with the control system and is used to detect the page turning progress, the number of overlapped pages and the suction force of the mechanical arm.
7. The intelligent integrated reading system according to claim 1, characterized in that: The adjustable light source system and the high-resolution camera are arranged directly above the book support frame through symmetrical brackets; Two pressure bars are arranged on the book support frame; the pressure bars can be slidably fixed on the slide rail to adjust the relative width between the two pressure bars, and knobs are arranged on the two pressure bars, and the knobs are used to adjust the height of the pressure bars to adapt to pages of different thicknesses.
8. The intelligent integrated reading system according to claim 1, characterized in that: The machine is provided with a speech speed button, a volume button and a tone button.
9. An intelligent integrated reading method, characterized in that: Intelligent reading is realized based on the intelligent integrated reading system according to any one of claims 1 to 8, including: Fixed books; Lighting the fixed book, photographing the pages to be read of the fixed book to form a photographed image, and performing image stitching and image restoration on the photographed image to form a standard image; Performing text recognition and image recognition on the standard image to determine a text area and an image area, performing text extraction on the text area to form a reading text, and performing image description on the image area to form a description text; Play the reading text and the description text according to a preset playing rule; After the text image recognition module acquires the reading text or the description text, the book is page-turned to use the next page of the current page to be read as a new page to be read.
10. The intelligent integrated reading method according to claim 9, characterized in that: Also includes: The control command issued by the user is captured to perform customized control on the machine based on the control command.
