Perspec 1.0 – Desktop app for perspective correction of document photos

After 9 years of on-and-off development, I'm happy to announce the 1.0 release of Perspec, a desktop app for correcting the perspective of photos of documents, receipts, and whiteboards.

The headline feature of 1.0 is automatic corner detection: Instead of the usual edge-detection + Hough transform pipeline, it segments the document via watershed segmentation and finds corners, which handles wrinkled receipts and curved book pages much better. And if the detection is off, you can just drag the selection polygon to fix it.
