  • Patent number: 9305211
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a dewarped document using a document image captured using a camera are provided. The method includes obtaining the document image captures using the camera, extracting text lines from the document image captured using the camera, determining a projection formula to convert positions of respective points constituting the extracted text lines to coordinates projected on a plane of the dewarped document, determining a target function used to calculate a difference between text lines projected on the place of the dewarped document using the projection formula and real text lines, calculating parameters that minimize the target function, and converting the document image to the dewarped document by substituting the calculated parameters into the projection formula.

  • Patent number: 9141854
    Abstract: A method of recognizing and generating a structure of a table included in an image is provided. The method includes extracting lines forming the table from among connection components forming an image, determining line intersections by using crossing functions matched with the lines, determining one of a plurality of crossing models identified based on a plurality of crossing shapes, in correspondence with each of the line intersections, and generating data about the table, which includes at least one cell determined using the determined crossing model.
