Abstract—This paper presents an adaptive algorithm for preprocessing document images prior to binarization in character recognition problems. Our method is similar in its approac...
The effects of different image pre-processing methods for document image binarization are explored. They are compared on five different binarization methods on images with bleed t...

Most of the document binarization techniques have many parameters that can initially be specified. Usually, subjective document binarization evaluation, employs human observes for ...
This paper presents a new adaptive approach for the binarization and enhancement of degraded documents. The proposed method does not require any parameter tuning by the user and c...
