Skew and Slant Correction for Document Images Using Gradient Direction
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fast algorithm is presented in this paper for skew and slant correction in printed document images. The algorithm employs only the gradient information. The skew angle is obtained by searching for a peak in the histogram of the gradient orientation of the input greylevel image. The skewness of the document is corrected by a rotation at such an angle. The slant of characters can also be detected using the same technique, and can be corrected by a shear operation. A second method for character slant correction by tting parallelograms to the connected components is also described. Document images with di erent contents (tables, gures, and photos) have been tested for skew correction and the algorithm gives accurate results on all the test images, and the algorithm is very easy to implement.

متن کاملSkew and Slant Corrections for IR Images in Indian License Plate Recognition Using HCD & HPR
Character segmentation and detection play a very important role in the license plate recognition (LPR) system. For accurate character segmentation first need is to remove skew from the received license plate for the night vision images. Skew is the angle by which the image seems to be deviated from its perceived steady state position. To solve the problem, a combined approach for skew correctio...
متن کاملAn Integrated System for Handwritten Document Image Processing
In this paper we attempt to face common problems of handwritten documents such as nonparallel text lines in a page, hill and dale writing, slanted and connected characters. Towards this end an integrated system for document image preprocessing is presented. This system consists of the following modules: skew angle estimation and correction, line and word segmentation, slope and slant correction...

متن کاملDigit Classification on Signboards for Telephone Number Recognition
This paper presents a digits classification system to recognize telephone numbers written on signboards. Candidate regions of digits are extracted from an image through edge extraction, enhancement and labeling. Since the digits in the images often have skew and slant, the digits are recognized after the skew and slant correction. To correct the skew, Hough transform is used, and the slant is c...
