Given your image im, you can binarize it with im2bw:
bw = 1-im2bw(image);
The horizontal histogram (I guess) is the sum of the object in the horizontal direction, which is
h = sum(bw,2)
You can then plot it with:
figure
plot(sum(bw,2),1:size(bw,1))
Which gives you the image attached.
The segmentation could be performed with findpeaks.

Threshold it and then use regionprops(labeledImage, 'PixelIdxList') to find where each line starts and stops (what row indexes), or what rows have text in them.

sir will you please explain it with the help of example i tried the following code but its not working properly and also i am not able to detect where is the error in this:
%DESKEWING
% Find the coordinates of all the pixels
[y, x] = find(Iedge2);
% Fit them to a line
coefficients = polyfit(x, y, 1);
% Get a line from the left to the right
xEnds = [1, columns];
yEnds = polyval(coefficients, xEnds);
hold on;
line(xEnds, yEnds, 'Color', 'r');
% Get the angle
angle = atand((yEnds(2) - yEnds(1)) / (xEnds(2) - xEnds(1)));
rotatedImage = imrotate(Iedge2, angle);
% Display the rotated image.
subplot(2, 2, 4);
imshow(rotatedImage, [],'Parent',handles.axes2);
title('Binary Image', 'FontSize', 10);
%regionprops to get all the BoundingBoxes form your lines
stats=regionprops(rotatedImage,'BoundingBox');
figure, imshow(rotatedImage)
BoundingBoxes=struct2cell(stats);
BoundingBoxes=cell2mat(BoundingBoxes'); % making it into an array
[~,ind]=sort(BoundingBoxes(:,2)); % sorting it to y
BoundingBoxes=BoundingBoxes(ind,:); % apply the sorted vector
lineNr=8;
imshow(original(BoundingBoxes(2,lineNr):...
BoundingBoxes(2,lineNr)+BoundingBoxes(4,lineNr),...
BoundingBoxes(1,lineNr):BoundingBoxes(1,lineNr)+BoundingBoxes(3,lineNr) ))
