This paper presents the use of analysing the connected components extracted from the binary image of a document page. Such an analysis provides a lot of useful information, and will be used to perform skew correction, segmentation and classification of the document. We present a new algorithm for determining the skew angle of lines of text in an image of a document with the advantage that it only performs one iteration to determine the skew angle. Experiments on over 30 pages show that the method works well on a wide variety of layouts, including sparse textual regions, mixed fonts, multiple columns, and even for documents with a high graphical content.
