Straightening Out Distorted Text Lines of Images

摘要

A method for correcting distortions in a scanned image of a page, paragraph, sentence or other portion of text is disclosed. The method comprises identifying at least one set of collinear elements in the scanned image; and generating a corrected image based on the scanned image including for at least some of the collinear elements in each set applying a spatial location correction to position all collinear elements in the set on a common horizontal rectilinear base line in the corrected image.
