  • Abstract
    An innovative skew correction technique is presented. The method is not pixel oriented as most classical techniques, but is object/segment oriented. It does not presuppose a unique text orientation in the document image and can handle document images including “text” blocks with different orientations. It is very efficient in the sense that only the relevant data/information is rotated
