manual deskew?
Posted: 29 May 2010, 01:38
Hi,
After compiling the latest version of ScanTailor for OSX (thanks to a timely patch by Tulon, thanks!) I'm now getting a chance to use ST in earnest. Overall it's great, especially the automated page splitting and content selection.
One thing I'm coming across with my current project (an anatomy text with lots of pictures) is that the auto-deskew algorithm seems to be requiring a lot of manual intervention. Basically my images are straight to begin with but (possibly because of the many pictures) ST is "fixing" about 30% of the (400+) pages and introducing 1-5% of skew. Is there any way to lock the deskew to auto-mode or set it manually for more than one page at a time? If not, anyone know where in the code I could attempt to bypass/comment out this module? Also I read something in another topic about a XML file that has some of the image data. Would that be another place I could manually override the auto-computed skew setting?
Thanks!
Matt
