Step S10: searching edges and four corner points (horners) of a document region in an input image, and performing edge cutting and small-angle direction correction on the input image by using a perspective transformation (perspective transformation) method to obtain an image after edge cutting and small-angle direction correction. If the input image is a document image, the trimmed image is the document region of the input image. The small angle direction correction is to correct the document area of the input image to one of four forms with a deviation angle of 0 degree, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 270 degrees from the correct direction, and to correct the document area of the input image to which of the four forms is the closest.
If the edges and four corner points of the document area in the input image cannot be found in the step, the input image is indicated to belong to the background image, and the whole process is exited.
Referring to fig. 2 to 5, the images after trimming before small angle direction correction are performed by perspective transformation. Please refer to fig. 6 to 9, which are the trimmed images after small angle direction correction by perspective transformation. Wherein the dotted line represents the correct direction of the trimmed image, the solid line represents the actual direction of the trimmed image, the deviation angle alpha is defined as the angle from the correct direction of the trimmed image to the actual direction of the trimmed image along the clockwise direction, and the value range of the deviation angle alpha is more than or equal to 0 degrees and less than 360 degrees. The small-angle direction correction specifically refers to: (1) the trimmed images with the angle of 0 degrees < alpha < 45 degrees and the angle of 315 degrees < alpha < 360 degrees are corrected into trimmed images with the angle of alpha being 0 degrees. The trimmed image shown in fig. 2 is corrected in the small angle direction by perspective transformation to obtain the trimmed image shown in fig. 6. (2) The trimmed images with the angle of 45 degrees < alpha < 135 degrees are all corrected to be trimmed images with the angle of alpha being 90 degrees. The trimmed image shown in fig. 3 is corrected in the small angle direction by perspective transformation to obtain the trimmed image shown in fig. 7. (3) The trimmed images with 135 degrees < alpha < 225 degrees are all corrected to be trimmed images with alpha being 180 degrees. The trimmed image shown in fig. 4 is corrected in the small angle direction by perspective transformation to obtain the trimmed image shown in fig. 8. (4) The trimmed images with 225 degrees < alpha < 315 degrees are all corrected to be trimmed images with alpha being 270 degrees. The trimmed image shown in fig. 5 is corrected in the small angle direction by perspective transformation to obtain the trimmed image shown in fig. 9. There are several special cases described below. When α is 0 degrees, no small angle correction is necessary. When α is 45 degrees, the trimmed image with α being 0 degrees may be corrected, or the trimmed image with α being 90 degrees may be corrected. When α is 135 degrees, the trimmed image with α being 90 degrees may be corrected, or the trimmed image with α being 180 degrees may be corrected. When α is 225 degrees, the trimmed image with α being 180 degrees may be corrected, or the trimmed image with α being 270 degrees may be corrected. When α is 315 degrees, the trimmed image with α being 270 degrees may be corrected, or the trimmed image with α being 0 degrees may be corrected. The deviation angle α of the trimmed image obtained after the small-angle direction correction is only four values, namely 0 degree, 90 degrees, 180 degrees and 270 degrees, which are respectively shown in fig. 6 to 9.

The angle classification model is obtained in the following manner. (1) A plurality of images and corresponding orientation labels are collected as a training data set (training data set). Most of the multiple images are document images after trimming, and the rest of the multiple images are background images. The document image after trimming refers to an image in which a blank area of an edge is removed and only a document area in the image is reserved; and the deviation angle of the actual direction of the document images after trimming and the correct direction is either 0 degree, or 90 degrees, or 180 degrees, or 270 degrees. The background class image refers to an image without a document. The direction label of the trimmed document image is used for recording the deviation angle between the actual direction and the correct direction of the trimmed document image. And the direction labels of the background images are fixed to be one, and the image is shown as the background image. (2) And randomly rotating part or all of the images in the training data set by taking 90 degrees as a unit, and correspondingly changing the direction labels of the rotated document images after the edges are cut. The training data set processed in this way is called an enhanced training data set, and the purpose of the enhanced training data set is to make the distribution of the document images after edge cutting as uniform as possible in different directions. (3) And training an angle classification model by using the enhanced training data set, wherein the angle classification model is used for distinguishing the document images from the background images and identifying which of the four values the deviation angle between the actual direction and the correct direction of each document image is. Preferably, the angle classification model is obtained by using a Neural Network (NN) training, such as SqueezeNet, MobileNet, shuffle net, EffNet, and the like, so as to be conveniently deployed at a mobile terminal such as a smartphone. Preferably, the input sizes of all images in the enhanced training data set are uniformly scaled to a fixed size during training to achieve better training effect.
Preferably, in this step, the image after the trimming and the small angle direction correction is scaled to a fixed size of the input image during the training of the angle classification model, and then the scaled image after the trimming and the small angle direction correction is sent to the angle classification model.
In this step, if the angle classification model determines that the image after the trimming and the small angle direction correction belongs to the background image, a deviation angle detection value cannot be given, and the whole process is exited.
In this step, if the angle classification model determines that the deviation angle detection value of the image after the trimming and the small angle direction correction is 0 degree, the direction of the image after the trimming and the small angle direction correction is not required to be corrected, and the whole process is exited.
Step S30: if the angle classification model provides a deviation angle detection value of the image after the trimming and the small-angle direction correction, the image after the trimming and the small-angle direction correction belongs to a document image, the direction of the image after the trimming and the small-angle direction correction is corrected according to the deviation angle detection value, and the image after the trimming and the small-angle direction correction is rotated to be in the correct direction. The step is to carry out rotation correction on the image after trimming and small-angle direction correction, so that the image after direction correction can be conveniently read and printed.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein in step S20, if the angle classification model determines that the deviation angle detection value between the cut edge and the small-angle direction corrected image is 0 degree, the whole process is exited.
10. A direction correcting device for a document image is characterized by comprising an edge cutting and small-angle direction correcting unit, a deviation angle detecting unit and a large-angle direction correcting unit;
the trimming and small-angle direction correcting unit is used for searching edges and four corner points of a document area in an input image and performing trimming and small-angle direction correction on the input image by using a perspective transformation method; if the input image is a document image, the trimmed image is a document area of the input image; the small angle direction correction refers to correcting a document area of an input image into one of four forms with a deviation angle of 0 degree, 90 degrees, 180 degrees or 270 degrees from a correct direction, and correcting the document area of the input image into which form is the closest to the four forms;
the deviation angle detection unit is used for obtaining a deviation angle detection value through an angle classification model on the image after the trimming and the small-angle direction correction; the deviation angle detection value only has four values of 0 degree, or 90 degrees, or 180 degrees, or 270 degrees; the angle classification model is obtained by adopting the following method: (1) collecting a plurality of trimmed document images, non-document background images and corresponding direction labels as a training data set; the deviation angle between the actual direction of the document image after trimming and the correct direction is either 0 degree, or 90 degrees, or 180 degrees, or 270 degrees; the direction label of the trimmed document image is used for recording the deviation angle between the actual direction and the correct direction of the trimmed document image; the direction label of the background image indicates that the image is a background image; (2) randomly rotating part or all images in the training data set by taking 90 degrees as a unit, and correspondingly changing the direction labels of the rotated trimmed document images to obtain an enhanced training data set; (3) training an angle classification model by using the enhanced training data set, wherein the angle classification model is used for distinguishing the document images from the background images and identifying which of the four values is the deviation angle between the actual direction and the correct direction of each document image;
and the large-angle direction correction unit is used for correcting the direction of the image after the trimming and small-angle direction correction according to the deviation angle detection value.
