It's A Digital Disease!

Ive been looking at archiving physical books which never got a digital release for a while, but also trying to minimize work for maximum quality (ideally without destroying the book).

I have a really nice studio setup for photography including 3 flashes, lenses, and a 61mp camera body, so Im thinking of how I could leverage that for this purpose.

Taking pictures of all the pages is 'the easy part', but Im hoping non-proprietary software exists that can take bulk images of pages, apply page curvature, auto crop to the size of the book, and similar corrections.

(by non proprietary, I mean I can use it with any image and not just images from their specific book scanners)
