Deskew Image - Document Imaging Toolkit
Version number:

Deskew image works with 1 bit, 8 bit, and 24 bit color images. The 8 bit and 24 bit support is a unique technology available only from Black Ice Software. The deskew function works in two steps, detects the angle of skew of the image and then rotates the image to correct the skew.

The Deskew feature is extremely useful in automated image processing, when the images come from a scanner. The scanned images are often skewed (the paper was moved/rotated) on the scanner. Developers can use the new Deskew() function to automatically repair the image. The function will detect the angle and will rotate the image to the correct position.

The new version of the Deskew() function will work for images with a black frame around the paper and for images without black frame around the scanned paper.

The function also works for received faxes, using the information (text) on the image to calculate the angle of the rotation, not the margins of the paper.
