1. A system for determining a skew angle associated with a scanned document page, said system comprising: a) an edge-buffer generator for generating, from a normalized image associated with a scanned document page, a vertical-edge buffer and a horizontal-edge buffer; b) a layer processor for processing a current layer of said vertical-edge buffer and said horizontal-edge buffer, thereby generating a current rotation vector associated with said current layer; and c) a rotation-estimate selector for selecting a rotation vector estimate from a group of rotation vectors comprising said current rotation vector, wherein said rotation vector estimate is associated with a skew angle associated with said scanned document page.
