Abstract

DDA (Digital Differential Analyzer) is a famous algorithm used commonly in computer graphics to interpolate integer coordinate pixels of a straight line. In this paper, we introduce a method of image rotation for binary document images using DDA algorithm with assumption that the true skew angles of the documents have already been computed. The proposed method applies the main idea of DDA algorithm with some modifications for the skew scanning lines along to the inverse direction of the skew angle. In this method the ratios between the length of black runs and the whole scan line are guaranteed. Thus the algorithm can overcome disadvantages of mathematical rotation such as white holes and over segmentation. Moreover, using DDA algorithm to approximate integer points helps this method reduce the number of rotation operations.
