Skew detection for complex document images using fuzzy runlength

A skew angle estimation approach based on the applicationof a fuzzy directional runlength is proposed for complexaddress images. The proposed technique was tested on a varietyof USPS parcel images including both machine printand handwritten addresses. The testing results showed asuccessful rate more than 90% of the test set.
