An Enhanced Skew Angle Estimation Technique for Binary Document Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper , an improved skew angle estimation technique is presented. Skew angle detection is an important part of any Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and document analysis system. The method considers the lowermost pixels of some selected characters of the text, which maybe subject to Hough transform for skew angle detection. A fast approach is also proposed which works almost as accurately as Hough transform for skew angle detection. Experimental results are presented and compared with results on several other skew detection methods.

Skew Estimation Technique for Binary Document Images based on Thinning and Moments
When a document is fed to a scanner either mechanically or by a human operator for digitization, it suffers from some degrees of skew or tilt. Skew angle detection is an important component of any Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Document Analysis System. In this paper we present a novel skew estimation technique for document images. The method uses Boundary Growing (BG) technique, Thinn...
متن کاملSkew Detection in Image Processing
Many researchers proposed different methodologies for the text skew estimation in binary images/gray scale images. They have been used widely for the skew identification of the printed text. There exist so many ways algorithms for detecting and correcting a slant or skew in a given document or image. Some of them provide better accuracy but are slow in speed, others have angle limitation drawba...
متن کاملSkew Angle Estimation and Correction of Hand Written, Textual and Large areas of Non-textual Document Images: A Novel Approach
Skew angle estimation and correction of a document page is an important task for document analysis and optical character recognition (OCR) applications. Many approaches of skew detection can process pure textual document images successfully. But it is a challenging problem to process documents like handwritten, large areas of non-textual contents. In this direction, a novel approach for textual...
متن کاملInstance-Based Skew Estimation of Document Images by a Combination of Variant and Invariant
A novel technique for estimating geometric deformations is proposed and applied to document skew (i.e., rotation) estimation. The proposed method possesses two novel properties. First, the proposed method estimates the skew angles at individual connected components. Those skew angles are then voted to determine the skew angle of the entire document. Second, the proposed method is based on insta...
متن کاملUsing mathematical morphology for document skew estimation
We propose a concise definition of the skew angle of document, based on mathematical morphology. This definition has the advantages to be applicable both for binary and grey-scale images. We then discuss various possible implementations of this definition, and show that results we obtain are comparable to those of other existing algorithms.
