Document image dewarping is a crucial task in computer vision with numerous practical applications. The control point method, as a popular image dewarping approach, has attracted attention due to its simplicity and efficiency. However, inaccurate control point prediction due to varying background noises and deformation types can result in unsatisfactory performance. To address these issues, we propose a robust document dewarping approach for real-life images, namely DocReal, which utilizes Enet to effectively remove background noise and an attention-enhanced control point (AECP) module to better capture local deformations. Moreover, we augment the training data by synthesizing 2D images with 3D deformations and additional deformation types. Our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance on the DocUNet benchmark and a newly proposed benchmark of 200 Chinese distorted images, exhibiting superior dewarping accuracy, OCR performance, and robustness to various types of image distortion.
