Skew Detection for Complex Document Images Using Fuzzy Runlength

A skew angle estimation approach based on the application of a fuzzy directional runlength is proposed for complex address images. The proposed technique was tested on a variety of USPS parcel images including both machine print and handwritten addresses. The testing results showed a successful rate more than 90% of the test set.
