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...
—In this paper, a new binarization algorithm for degraded document images is proposed. The method is based on positive and negative pixel energies using the Laplacian of an image...
This paper presents a new document image binarization technique that segments the text from badly degraded historical document images. The proposed technique makes use of the imag...
This paper presents a document image thresholding technique that binarizes badly illuminated document images by the photometric correction. Based on the observation that illuminat...
A novel method for the segmentation of double-sided ancient document images suffering from bleed-through effect is presented. It takes advantage of the level set framework to prov...
