Deskew Method

Summary

Rotates the specified image to straighten it. This operation is typically used to automatically straighten scanned images. This operation is available in the Document\Medical Toolkits.

Syntax

C++

[FaultContractAttribute(DetailType=Leadtools.Services.Raster.FaultContracts.RasterFault,  
   Action="",  
   Name="",  
   Namespace="",  
   ProtectionLevel=ProtectionLevel.None,  
   HasProtectionLevel=false)] 
[OperationContractAttribute("Deskew")] 
Leadtools.Services.Imageprocessing.Datacontracts.DeskewResponse Deskew(  
   Leadtools.Services.Imageprocessing.Datacontracts.DeskewRequest request 
)

<OperationContractAttribute("Deskew")> 
Function Deskew( _ 
   ByVal request As Leadtools.Services.Imageprocessing.Datacontracts.DeskewRequest _ 
) As Leadtools.Services.Imageprocessing.Datacontracts.DeskewResponse

[FaultContractAttribute(DetailType=Leadtools.Services.Raster.FaultContracts.RasterFault,  
   Action="",  
   Name="",  
   Namespace="",  
   ProtectionLevel=ProtectionLevel.None,  
   HasProtectionLevel=false)] 
[OperationContractAttribute("Deskew")] 
Leadtools.Services.Imageprocessing.Datacontracts.DeskewResponse^ Deskew(  
   Leadtools.Services.Imageprocessing.Datacontracts.DeskewRequest^ request 
)

Parameters

request
A System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute containing the data that will be used in this Deskew operation.

Return Value

A System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute containing the modified image resulting from the Deskew operation.

Remarks

If the Leadtools.Services.ImageProcessing.DataContracts.DeskewRequest.Flags property contains Leadtools.Services.ImageProcessing.DataContracts.DeskewCommandFlagsDeskewCommandFlags.ReturnAngleOnly, the operation will update the Leadtools.Services.ImageProcessing.DataContracts.DeskewResponse.Angle property without rotating the image.
The calculated rotation is limited to 20 degrees in either direction. This operation is intended for images, such as scanned documents, that are mainly horizontal lines of text. The results are less predictable with other types of images.
This operation includes an option to skip deskewing if the angle is very small.
This operation does not support 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. If the image is 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color, the operation will not throw an exception.
This operation does not support signed data images.
This operation does not support 32-bit grayscale images.
