[suggestion] Correct trapezoid distortions

Post by Jensen Head »

Add, please, automatic recognition and perspective correction — frequent page distortions that occur when photographing documents.

Hello Jensen Head,

Those are usually provided by OCR engines and the logic behind automating such operations is quite complex.
I am not sure if any of our engines offers it, but I will ask our devs to check and if available - whether we can include it in our EOCR (as far as I know the engine behind the Standard OCR does not have it).

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello Jensen Head,

A Feature request ticket has been created for this:
#6020: FR: Correct trapezoid distortions
So we will be looking at indeed adding such a feature in our software.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Judging by the presence of Correct Perspective/2D distortions in the "Enhance Scanned Pages" action settings, and despite the lack of mention of this function in the PDF-XChange Editor Version History, I assume the function has been added and the topic can be closed as complete?

Hello, Jensen Head

Yes, that ticket and the 2D perspective correction feature are one in the same, just with a different name.

It is important to note that as the name implies, this is exclusive to 2D perspective, and as always, no system is perfect, so there will be cases where the results are less than ideal.
