Abstract

An image rectification method includes the steps of: detecting edges in an image by using a Canny filter; performing Hough transform on the edges to detect lines in the image; selecting a candidate quadrangle from quadrangles formed by the detected lines; obtaining a transform matrix for transforming the candidate quadrangle to a rectangle by homographic transform; rectifying the image by using the transform matrix; and enhancing the rectified image.
