Claim One:
1. A method to improve automatic recognition of text, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of regions of text in an image of a scene of real world captured by a camera; wherein a plurality of pixels of a common binary value, in a word in a region in said plurality of regions of text, are arranged along a first line oriented in a predetermined direction; wherein a first height at a first end of said word along said predetermined direction is different from a second height at a second end of said word along said predetermined direction; detecting a plurality of second lines that satisfy at least a predetermined test and pass through a portion of the word having a predetermined relationship to said first line; determining an angle θ based on a plurality of angles of the plurality of second lines relative to a common direction; using the angle θ to change first coordinates of at least said plurality of pixels in said word, whereby the first height and the second height remain unchanged after the using; and storing in a memory, at least changed first coordinates generated by the using; wherein the receiving, the processing, the determining, the using and the storing are performed by one or more processors.
