Abstract

This paper presents a new algorithm for dewarping the volume binding distortion often found whenever one scans a book. The existing algorithms in the literature need scanner parameters, seldom known by the end user. The algorithm proposed here only needs the user to print a calibration grid and to scan it in the central page of a volume. The algorithm collects all the data needed to dewarp all pages in the volume.

Abstract
People often capture document images using the cameras attached to smart mobile phones. As a result, different types of distorted images gets generated. Warping is one of the major problems found on those distorted document images. Most existing ...
