Abstract- 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
...
OrbDetectAndDeskew (IEVision)
// Automatically orient an image based on a reference image
ImageEnViewInput.IEBitmap.OrbDetectAndDeskew( ImageEnViewReference.IEBitmap, ImageEnViewResult.IEBitmap, UpDownMaxFeatures.Position );
createBarCodeScanner (IEVision)
// Find barcode in image
barCodeSymbols := IEVisionLib.createBarCodeScanner().scan( ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.GetIEVisionImage(), IEVisionRect( 0, 0, 0, 0 ) );
if barCodeSymbols.size() > 0 then
ShowMessage( sym.getData().c_str() + ' (' + sym.getSymbolType().c_str() + ')' );
The following image returns "39123439 (Code-39)"
CalcOrientation
// Load test image
ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFile( 'D:\TestImage.jpg' );
// Automatically rotate a document
n := ImageEnView1.Proc.CalcOrientation();
ImageEnView1.Proc.Rotate( n );
SkewDetection
// Load test image
ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFile( 'D:\TestImage.jpg' );
// Check for skew within the range -15 to 15 with 0.1 degrees of precision and automatically orient (for printed text)
d := ImageEnView1.Proc.SkewDetection( ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Width div 4, 30, 0.1, false );
ImageEnView1.Proc.RotateAndCrop( d, ierBicubic );
SkewDetectionFine
// Check for skew within the range -5 to 5 with 0.1 degrees of precision and automatically orient (for printed text)
d := ImageEnView1.Proc.SkewDetectionFine( 0, 0.1, 10, True );
ImageEnView1.Proc.RotateAndCrop( d, ierBicubic );
getOrientation (IEVision)
// Auto-fix the orientation and skew of the image
deskewAngle := ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.OCR_GetOrientation();
if deskewAngle <> 0 then
ImageEnView1.Proc.Rotate( -deskewAngle, ierFast, clWhite );
For the following image, the required rotation would be -92.94°:
