Robust Skew Estimation on Low-Resolution Document Images

چکیده
In this paper, we present a new technique for estimating an arbitrary skew angle using a simple and efficient text row accumulation based on the statistics of the 1st and 2nd orders. In contrast to other works, where an image resolution of 100-300 dpi is necessary, a lower resolution (50 dpi) is enough for our method to obtain a correct result. The performance of the method was evaluated on the database UW -I of the University of Washington and compared with one advanced Hough transform-based method. A significantly lower error rate for our method confirms its advantages and benefits for automated document processing.

Skew Estimation by Parts
This paper proposes a new part-based approach for skew estimation of document images. The proposed method first estimates skew angles on rather small areas, which are the local parts of characters, and subsequently determines the global skew angle by aggregating those local estimations. A local skew estimation on a part of a skewed character is performed by finding an identical part from prepar...
متن کاملRobust Fuzzy Content Based Regularization Technique in Super Resolution Imaging
Super-resolution (SR) aims to overcome the ill-posed conditions of image acquisition. SR facilitates scene recognition from low-resolution image(s). Generally assumes that high and low resolution images share similar intrinsic geometries. Various approaches have tried to aggregate the informative details of multiple low-resolution images into a high-resolution one. In this paper, we present a n...

متن کاملInstance-Based Skew Detection of Document Images by a Combination of Variant and Invariant
A novel deformation estimation technique is proposed and applied to document skew estimation. The proposed method has two properties. First, it utilizes an invariant and a variant of a target deformation to be estimated. Second, it is an instance-based method where the deformation is estimated by referring stored instances which describe the relation among the deformation, the variant, and the ...
