Some bounding boxes are twisted in a way where they don't properly represent the text

[cjnolet]

In a few cases, it almost appears the bottom left and the top right boxes are flipped causing the bounding box to almost appear as two triangles that are touching at one of the points rather than a single rectangle. Not exactly sure what is causing this

help me please , i have this error

I solved bounding box twist problem by using below function

def order_points(pts):
	# sort the points based on their x-coordinates
	xSorted = pts[np.argsort(pts[:, 0]), :]
	# grab the left-most and right-most points from the sorted
	# x-roodinate points
	leftMost = xSorted[:2, :]
	rightMost = xSorted[2:, :]
	# now, sort the left-most coordinates according to their
	# y-coordinates so we can grab the top-left and bottom-left
	# points, respectively
	leftMost = leftMost[np.argsort(leftMost[:, 1]), :]
	(tl, bl) = leftMost
	
	rightMost = rightMost[np.argsort(rightMost[:, 1]), :]
	tr, br = rightMost
	
	x1, y1 = bl
	x2, y2 = br
	w1 =  math.sqrt((x2 - x1) ** 2 + (y2 - y1) ** 2)
	
	x1, y1 = tl
	x2, y2 = tr
	w2 =  math.sqrt((x2 - x1) ** 2 + (y2 - y1) ** 2)
	#width of box
	w = max(w1, w2)
	
	x1, y1 = tl
	x2, y2 = bl
	h1 = math.sqrt((x2 - x1) ** 2 + (y2 - y1) ** 2)
	
	x1, y1 = tr
	x2, y2 = br
	h2 = math.sqrt((x2 - x1) ** 2 + (y2 - y1) ** 2)
	h=max(h1, h2)  # height of box
	
	return np.array([tl, tr, br, bl], dtype="float32"), int(w) , int(h)

This function, given a bounding box returns, coordinates in clockwise order starting from top left, also it returns width and height of bounding box
