I have images of scanned pages that has blurred text. I need some way of "unblurring" the text, or cleaning the text, so that it is ready of ocr'ing by something like tesseract.

A sample image can be seen below.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

I need to extract pages from scanned images, and are trying to determine the page boundaries .There are a lof of different pages from different books.

I would like to detect the corners of the "rectangle" within the below images as marked by the "arrows". Any suggestions on how to approach this or what to use would be appreciated.

I am new to OpenCV and are trying some of the examples using canny edge detection and hough lines, but are a bit at a loss.
