  • Image processing apparatus, image processing method, image processing program, and storage medium
    Patent number: 8682080
    Abstract: In an image processing apparatus that determines tilt angles of an image, coordinates of points in the image are each transformed into a distance ? and an angle ?, and votes are cast to a vote table having the distance ? and the angle ? as headers. A predetermined number of points having numbers of votes ranked high are extracted from the vote table, and an extraction angle ?x is determined to achieve maximum consistency with angles ? at the predetermined number of points, and the tilt angles of the image are determined based on the determined extraction angle ?x.
