Abstract

Skew angle estimation is an important component of an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Document Analysis Systems (DAS). In this paper, a novel and efficient (in terms of accuracy and computations) method to estimate skew angle of a scanned document image is proposed. The proposed technique works based on fixing a boundary for connected components and growing boundaries. The technique uses Linear Regression Analysis to estimate skew angles. However, the technique works based on the assumption that the space between the two adjacent text lines is greater than the space between the successive characters present in a text line. The proposed method is compared with other existing methods. The experimental results are also presented.
