Abstract

A method, system, and neural network for identifying direction of a document where the method comprises: extracting a text line in the document; calculating a first normal direction result indicative of the text line probably being in a normal direction and a first upside-down direction result indicative of the text line probably being in a direction upside-down with respect to the normal direction; calculating a second normal direction result indicative of the text line after being rotated by 180 degrees probably being in the normal direction and a second upside-down direction result indicative of the text line after being rotated by 180 degrees probably being in the direction upside-down with respect to the normal direction; and determining the direction of the document according to the first normal direction result, the first upside-down direction result, the second normal direction result and the second upside-down direction result.
