Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for generating high resolution dewarped images for an image of a document captured by a 3D stereo digital camera system, or a mobile phone camera capturing a sequence of images, which may improve OCR performance. Example embodiments include a compact stereo camera with two sensors mounted at fixed locations, and a multi-resolution pipeline to process and to dewarp the images using a three dimensional surface model based on curve profiles of the computed depth map. Example embodiments also include a mobile phone including a camera which captures a sequence of images, and a processor which computes a disparity map using the captured sequence of image frames, computes a model of the at least one document page by generating a cylindrical three dimensional geometric surface using the computed disparity map, and renders a dewarped image from the computed model.
