OCR Scanned Image Rotation problem.

[lord_mezry]

I am Trying to develop an optical character recognition system.
I have a problem regarding the scanned data.
Whenever i can a document the scanned image seems to be a little slanted/rotated.
I am not able to figure out a way to rotate the image/scanned document.

Please help.

try this:

Dim gr As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(your image)
gr.TranslateTransform(your image.Width, your image.Height)
gr.RotateTransform(degrees)
dim newImage as new bitmap(Width,Height)
Dim gr2 As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(newImage)
gr2.DrawImage(your image,x,y)

i'm guessing you don't know how to work out how many degrees to rotate it either?

My system is more or less complete, works pretty fine in recognizing latin alphabets. I have used a three layered perceptron model with Delta learning rule and Hyperbolic activation function. But during development I used a basic screen capture as the input image. Now that I have tried to use the scanned image as input I find that the skew is hampering the recgnitaion that is what I want help with.
It would be more help ful if rotation could be done in co-ordinates or some thing like that rather than in Degrees.
