I think you may have *mis*RTFA, since the article does say the 'technique involves recording a part of the subject', not the entire subject.

Here, 'the joining points of the image are deleted', so any overlap is not analyzed further.

In theory you could develop this algorithm further to account for the fact that the overlap looks at slightly different areas of the page, thereby deriving sub-pixel information (like fuji's octagonal CCD technology ) but I think the point is that this technology does not try to make too many assumptions about the quality of the source image.

This would also significantly increase the complexity of the algorithm. Assuming this technology is also being targeted for phones with cameras, a simpler algorithm is also one that will not drain the battery (as much).
