Abstract
The disclosure provides a document processing apparatus, method and a scanner. The document processing apparatus includes: a text line extraction unit extracting a text line from an input document; a language classification unit determining whether an OCR process is necessary for a language of the input document; an OCR unit determining, by performing the OCR process, an OCR confidence in the case that it is determined that the OCR process is necessary; an graphic feature recognition unit determining an graphic feature recognition confidence; and a determination unit determining a combination confidence based on at least one of the determined graphic feature recognition confidences and the determined OCR confidences, and determining an orientation of the input document based on the combination confidences. This technical solution can determine better an orientation of the document, and is especially applicable when the quality of the image of the document is deteriorated.
