Skew Estimation in Digitised Documents: A Novel Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a novel and efficient method for skew detection in document images is proposed. The proposed method is based on connected component blotching and linear regression. The proposed algorithm works well irrespective of the type of script even for a wide range of skew angle (with in ±90o).

Skew 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...

In this paper, an effective and reliable skew estimation technique for machine printed documents and photos using radon transform is proposed and is compared with other methods used for skew estimation such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Hough Transform (HT), combination of Horizontal Projection Profile (HPP) and Hough Transform, combination of Gabor filter and Radon transform, combination of...
متن کاملImproved Nearest Neighbor Based Approach to Accurate Document Skew Estimation
The nearest-neighbor based document skew detection methods do not require the presence of a predominant text area, and are not subject to skew angle limitation. However, the accuracy of these methods is not perfect in general. In this paper, we present an improved nearest-neighbor based approach to perform accurate document skew estimation. Size restriction is introduced to the detection of nea...
متن کاملA nearest-neighbor chain based approach to skew estimation in document images
A nearest-neighbor chain (NNC) based approach is proposed in this paper to develop a skew estimation method with a high accuracy and with language-independent capability. Size restriction is introduced to the detection of nearest-neighbors (NN). Then NNCs are extracted from the adjacent NN pairs, in which the slopes of the NNCs with a largest possible number of components are computed to give t...
متن کاملOn Some Properties and Estimation of a Skew Symmetric Density Function
In this paper we consider a general setting of skew-symmetric distribution which was constructed by Azzalini (1985), and its properties are presented. A suitable empirical estimator for a skew-symmetric distribution is proposed. In data analysis, by comparing this empirical model with the estimated skew-normal distribution, we show that the proposed empirical model has a better fit in den...
