scantailor will get you most of the way there. the original project is dead but there are a few forks on github. It has been a while since I did any serious scanning so I can't remember which version I used.

I scan heavily from academic libraries in order to contribute to LibGen, but even with Scantailor it is very time-consuming. For example, if you are scanning scientific literature from the Eastern Bloc, it was often printed on low-quality, speckled paper, which means Scantailor often identifies too much of the scan as the page block, and then you have to manually tweak the rectangle.
