This paper presents an efficient compression-oriented segmentation algorithm for computer-generated document images. In this algorithm, a document image is represented in a block-...
A new compound image compression algorithm is proposed, based on Shape Primitive Extraction and Coding (SPEC). The SPEC first segments a compound image into text/graphics pixels an...
—A vast number of historical and badly degraded document images can be found in libraries, public, and national archives. Due to the complex nature of different artifacts, such p...
In this paper we present an algorithm for thresholding images of historical documents. The main objective is to generate high quality monochromatic images in order to make them eas...
In the early 1990s, the state-of-the-art in commercial chromosome image acquisition was grayscale. Automated chromosome classification was based on the grayscale image and boundar...
