Metric Rectification to Estimate the Aspect Ratio of Camera-Captured Document Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Document images from mobile phone cameras and digital cameras suffer from geometric distortion; therefore distortion correction is desired for better character recognition. We propose a method to calculate the aspect ratio of planar documents using 3D perspective projection of quadrangles without using vanishing points. The proposed method is based on estimation of direction of a pair of parallel lines from their projected image. We verify the accuracy of our method from experimental results at various viewing angles. Our contribution can be applied to increase the character recognition rate by compensating for distorted documents with the accurate aspect ratio.

Survey on Metric Rectification of Warped Document Images
Metric rectification method is to restore an image from a single camera-captured document image. This method construct an isometric image mesh technique by exploiting the geometry of page surface and camera. It uses a general cylindrical surface (GCS) to model the curved page shape. It introduce a paraperspective projection to approximate the nonlinear perspective projection. A set of close-for...
متن کاملDocument Image Dewarping Based on Text Line Detection and Surface Modeling (RESEARCH NOTE)
Document images produced by scanner or digital camera, usually suffer from geometric and photometric distortions. Both of them deteriorate the performance of OCR systems. In this paper, we present a novel method to compensate for undesirable geometric distortions aiming to improve OCR results. Our methodology is based on finding text lines by dynamic local connectivity map and then applying a l...
متن کاملLayout-free dewarping of planar document images
For user convenience, processing of document images captured by a digital camera has been attracted much attention. However, most existing processing methods require an upright image such like captured by a scanner. Therefore, we have to cancel perspective distortion of a camera-captured image before processing. Although there are rectification methods of the distortion, most of them work under...
متن کاملThe Restoration of Camera Documents Through Image Segmentation
This paper presents a document restoration technique that is able to flatten curled document images captured through a digital camera. The proposed method corrects camera images of documents through image partition, which divides distorted text lines into multiple small patches based on the identified vertical stroke boundary (VSB) and the fitted x-line and baseline of text lines. Target rectan...
متن کاملRectifying Perspective Distortion into Affine Distortion Using Variants and Invariants
For user convenience, document image processing captured with a digital camera instead of a scanner has been researched. However, existing methods of document image processing are not usable for a perspective document image captured by a digital camera because most of them are designed for the one captured by a scanner. Thus, we have to rectify the perspective of the document image and obtain t...
