A self-adaptive correction method for perspective distortions of image

Abstract

Frequently, the shooting angles available to photograph an object are limited, and the resultant images contain perspective distortions. These distortions make more difficult to perform subsequent tasks like feature extraction and information identification. This paper suggested a perspective correction method that extracts automatically distortion features through edge detection. Results showed that this method is powerful in correcting images with perspective distortions. The corrected image has virtually little information missing, clear features and high recovery rate.

Keywords
